Self Tanners

Self Tanners

The recent news confirming the serious skin cancer risks associated with tanning beds has prompted a renewed interest in safer alternatives for achieving that coveted bronze glow. One great way to get that sun-splashed glow without damaging your skin is to try a self tanner. I know for some of you, that brings up visions of messy products that are difficult to apply, embarrassing streaks, and unpleasant chemical smells. For anyone who has any experience with using self tanners, you may have been turned off by one or more of these inconvenient drawbacks. The good news is that some of your favorite cosmetics companies have been working hard to correct these issues and bring new and much improved products to the marketplace. This next generation of self tanners is changing the rules when it comes to home tanning. Some of the most significant developments have been:

• Products that are nearly odorless
• Sunless tanners that apply evenly without streaking
• Natural color that matches your skin tone and does not turn orange
• Less chemicals and more natural ingredients

With these positive changes, it is now possible to get a high quality tan at home; without exposure to the risks of UV radiation of any kind. Skin cancer has always been a concern but for some people, it takes scientific research proving just how much danger exists before many people are willing to take action. The recently published study that indicated that tanning beds were as dangerous as Mustard Gas appears to finally have caught the attention of the mainstream.
