Sunless Tanning Information

Everyone wants to have that healthy bronzed tan look but these days sun damage to the skin is a real concern. That is where sunless tanning comes in, you can get the look without damaging your skin.

However there are a number of different sunless tanning methods, so which is best for you?

1. Tanning Pills - They have been on the market for a number of years now but let me make this quite clear - DO NOT USE TANNING PILLS! You can buy all kinds of diffent pills online, the ingredients vary wildly and most are not approved for human use. Some are useless and will have no effect. Caretenoid tanning pills do 'work' by depositing pigment under the skin in fat cells. However as fat is unevenly distibuted in the body the efects are usually undesirable. Also taking too many caretenoid pills can have a negative effect on the body.

2. Tanning Beds -  These are quite a popular option, some people even have these at home. There is no doubt the they do work, you can get an even, bronze tan by using a tanning bed. However, they have a similar effect on the skin to natural sunlight so they are not a safe tanning method. Even though tanning beds use UV-A rays rather than the UV-B rays emitted by the sun they can still damage the skin.

3. Spray Tanning - This is THE method to go for if you want a safe, good looking tan. Tanning spray has no negative effects on your body and if done correctly it will leave you with an even tan. There are now oudourless sprays available so you do not have to walk around smelling like a chip!
