Get A Glowing Tan With Sunless Tanning Lotions
There are so many
different health warnings and medical advice that it is hard to know
what is best to do for yourself. The medical reports seem to vary
from week to week. What is bad for you one week is considered a good
thing the next week. My husband and I love to drink coffee. After
listening to a medical report several years ago we decided that we
needed to cut back on the amount we drank and added tea to our
choices. Last week we heard a report on the news that drinking
coffee is good for the colon and that a person should drink more of
it. It is confusing to know who to listen to and what to believe.
One area that all the experts seem to agree on is that too much exposure
to the sun in bad for the skin and places a higher risk for skin cancer.
My sister and I used to lie in the sun for hours getting as dark tan as
possible every summer. We even tried the sunless tanning lotions that
were available, but our skin turned orange and streaky. Once I started
college I did not continue in the pursuit of a tan, however my sister
still did. She would go to the tanning booths as well as lay in the sun.
As she aged her skin began to show the effects of the prolonged sun
exposure, especially her face. Our other sister is in the medical field
and was always cautioning her to wear sun screen and hats or visors to
protect her face. My sister agreed that she needed to take better care
of her skin, but she liked looking tan.
A few weeks ago I met my sister for lunch. This was the beginning of
spring and most of us still have the white look of winter on our skin.
My sister’s face, neck and hands had a warm tan glow about them. I asked
her if they had gone some place warm on vacation or if she was back to
the tanning booths. She told me that she had learned her lesson about
tanning and that she had found sunless tanning lotions and was using
them. She said that there are many improvements in the sunless tanning
lotions compared to those that were available when we were growing up.
Today the sunless tanning lotions do not turn your skin orange, and many
of them are mixed in with daily body lotion so they go on smoother with
less streaking. She had a healthy glow to her skin without the damage
that the sun and tanning booths can cause. She did say that you need to
be careful when you are in the sun because the sunless tanning lotions
make your skin appear darker, but it is not like having a base tan. The
use of sunscreen is still important when you are outdoors for long
periods of time.
