Benefits Of Self Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Tan skin is often in itself considered a very attractive trait in a person, and sometimes gives the impression of healthiness. Each years millions of individuals go sunbathing or seek out indoor tanning. Despite knowing that sun exposure can lead to melanoma, the habit persists. Self tanning products provide one way to appear tan without the risks.



People with tan skin are often considered attractive or hot. But with no sun available for much of the year in many parts of the world, a lot of people use indoor tanning to achieve a tan. Three hundred dollars a year is the average cost that some Americans spend in this industry each year.

According to scientists, the main cause of skin cancer is UV radiation from the sun. This is the main drawback to tanning. It's also a reason why many customers turn to buying self tanning products.

The prohibitive cost of indoor tanning and risk of skin cancer are not a factor when using self tanning products. Self tanning products do not increase the likelihood of skin cancer but have the same visual appeal of a natural tan. And with so many products on the market, budget doesn't have to be an issue for someone looking for a year round glow.

Some of the self tanning products on the market include lotions, sprays, and bronzing creams. The price between one product and another can be large. Quality of product also varies. Each person can choose appropriate self tanning products based on their own tastes and budgetary needs.

Why do people choose self tanning products? For individuals interested in having a "healthy glow" year round, but who don't want the unhealthy side effects associated with prolonged and unprotected sun exposure, self tanning products can be a great option. Individuals can use self tanning products year round and avoid increased risk of melanoma. They can also find a plan that fits with their own budget.
