Safe and convenient self tanning lotions

 There is only one way to get a safe tan and that is with either self tanning lotions or spray on tanning such as airbrush tanning.  Some people are under the illusion that using a tanning bed is a safe and convenient way to get a bronze look. Self tanning lotions are actually the safest way to get a tan and avoid any harmful UV rays.

The fact is, tanning beds emit almost 3 times more harmful UV rays than the sun. These rays are extremely damaging to your skin.  On the other hand, self tanning lotions often contain an ingredient called DHA or degydroxyacetone a type of sugar.  DHA causes a chemical reaction that stains the skin so that it appears tanned.  No dye or chemicals are involved so it won’t stain your clothing.

Self tanning lotions give you the appearance of a tan but won’t protect you from the sun unless it has some SPF factor.  It is always recommended to protect your skin when you go outside so that you do not accelerate the onset of wrinkles, lines or dry skin.  Your skin is your body’s largest organ and it is critical you take good care of it.
