By Haywood Hunter


Since the 1960's, people have become more aware of the effects of the sun on our skin. As a result, Sunless Tanning has increased in popularity. Many people are afraid of premature aging and skin cancer from excessive exposure to the sun.

Having a tan has many benefits. It can make you appear thinner, younger, and hide unsightly veins. Many people agree that having a tan gives off a more healthy appearance. You always feel better with a soft glow, too.

In an effort to protect their skin, people are applying sunscreen. As more knowledge is gained about the sun and it's harmful rays, people are becoming scared to spend too much time in it. We understand now that we need to limit the amount of time we spend in the sun without protection.

The nice thing about sunless tanning is that it will not cause wrinkles or damage your skin. It uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA), an ingredient that reacts to your amino acids and changes the color of your skin. This reaction makes your skin darken in color. The color can last up to two weeks.

DHA will not permanently change the color of your skin because it is not a dye. It is completely safe to use. You never have to worry about this method harming your skin or causing premature wrinkles. It completely washes off your skin after a week or two.

There are several ways to achieve a spray tan. You can purchase lotions containing DHA and apply them yourself. It then takes a few hours for you "tan" to develop completely. You can also have someone from a salon airbrush a tan on by hand. The last option is to have the tan applied in a spray tan booth.

Cream application can be messy and difficult to apply evenly. Having someone from a salon airbrush a tan on by hand, is the most expensive option and can be a little awkward. You can also have the tan applied in a spray tan booth. This method is very fast, as it only takes a minute for the machine to spray you and can be cost effective.

Even if you have a spray tan, it does not offer any protection from the sun's harmful rays and you will still need to wear sunblock when you are going to be in the sun for any length of time. The easiest and fastest tanning method is the booth and you can achieve nice, even results.

With skin cancer on the rise, it is a good idea to opt for Sunless Tanning. The results can look very natural and provide a healthy glow without risking premature aging. If you like the glow from a suntan, but are worried about the risks of too much sun exposure, you will most likely enjoy UV-free tanning. It is cost effective and a safer, healthier way to achieve a natural glow.
