Finding The Best Sunless Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Long gone are the days when sun bathers lined up beaches on lakes, rivers, and oceans with their bodies coated in cooking grease or baby oil. These days we realize how dangerous this practice was, as we see our mothers and fathers fighting skin cancer and age spots, not to mention the generally aged look to their skin. Learning from their example, young people do the research in order to choose the best sunless tanner for them.

Skin tone and objective are two categories to consider when making this choice, and the two are connected. One with a very fair skin tone is going to choose a tanning bed more often than one who has a darker complexion. However, whether light or dark, utilizing a tanning lotion or oil can help keep an even color as well as maintaining proper hydration and moisture.

Being adequately moisturized is important for the wind as well as the sun exposure. The autumn is a time when people often suffer chapped lips, cheeks, and hands when they are at the mercy of the wind. Those who love to snow ski also are intimately familiar with the fact that sun and wind are the primary culprits for dry, chapped, and burnt skin in the snow, although electric heaters can take partial credit for dehydrating the skin.

In addition to creams and gels, there are also spray-on solutions which are very popular with many women due to the even coverage provided by the sprayer. The downside of all these products, however, appears to be the resulting color coming out an orange or burnt umber rather than looking like a natural tan. It helps when one thoroughly exfoliates their skin prior to applying the tanning solution, as this allows the skin to absorb the product evenly.

Most women have come to embrace the indoor tanning spa as a safe and effective solution to the drawbacks of lotions, and the dangers of the sun. However, tanning beds are just as dangerous as being out under ole Sol, and can age the skin just as rapidly. Not only that, but a busy person is even more likely to fall asleep in a tanning bed than they are outside.

Tanning beds do allow one to better control the length of time and concentration of exposure, so in that sense it can be more safe. That is, if they are not impulsive and seeking instant results by allowing themselves more than a 15-minute increment under the lights. Tanning beds now come with set limits, but some older tanning beds will still allow you to fall asleep for an unlimited span of time, and this can kill you.

Many tanning beds come with a bell or alarm that is designed to wake the person inside at the designated time. In a tanning bed, fifteen minutes is like forty-five minutes in the sun. Most beds will only work in increments of 15 minutes, and most businesses which have a tanning bed available keep close eye on how long their patrons have been inside it.

It is such a glorious day in modern technology when one realizes that the union of coconut oil and bronzer has been achieved. This provides the skin with the perfect degree of all-natural moisturizing goodness, with the sun-protecting properties of a tanning lotion. For many, this product is exactly what the dermatologist ordered.
