Smart Girls Choose The Best Sunless Tanner For Their Skin Starts With The Skin

By Haywood Hunter


It seems quite laughable to us now when we look back on the 1980s and remember how so many of us were coating ourselves in baby oil, cooking grease, and anything else we could baste ourselves with for sunbathing. We have a whole new perspective on the dangers associated with sun exposure these days. We now know that we must protect our skin, and the importance of choosing the best sunless tanner is not lost on us.

Skin tone certainly dictates to a great extent what choices one might make. When one already has a darker tone, they are more likely to go for creams, gels, and lotions rather than a tanning bed. For them, it is all about protecting and moisturizing, as well as keeping their skin tone even, rather than obtaining a particular color or complexion which they may already possess.

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.

Indoor tanning has become even more popular than gels, lotions, oils, or solutions. In fact, it is even more popular than laying out in the sun, as there seems to be a perspective that this form of tanning is less dangerous. This is not entirely true, however, and women need to know this.

One does have more control over the degree and length of time they are exposed to this ultraviolet light. There are those who go too far with it, but it is a self-limiting habit when they learn just how quickly and how severely a harsh burn can occur. For some, falling asleep in a tanning bed is a greater risk than falling asleep on the beach, and this is a serious safety issue since tanning beds literally cook you more quickly than the sun.

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.

One cannot talk about tanning lotions and bronzers without pointing out the coconut oil bronzers on the market. Coconut oil is all the rage, and is being touted as a miracle for aging, dry, or damaged skin. By utilizing a coconut oil bronzer, one is able to achieve the superior degree of moisture as well as protect their skin from the damaging rays of the sun.
