By Haywood Hunter


People are ever seeking for ways in which to attain darker toned complexions in order to enhance their beauty. However, this is something that has come with a price for many people especially those who have used the tan beds and sun baths. However, with the invention of sunless tanning products in early 1960s, it changed the way in which people can obtain those golden glowing skins.

There are many reasons why people tan their skins. Many think it helps them enhance their beauty. Media stereotypes have defined beauty, and therefore people would stop at nothing in order to fit in the category of beautiful beauties. Many times, people will not consider the price that beauty may come with.

Several decades ago, before the 1960s, there were no such self tan products as the ones you find nowadays. People could tan their skin by lying down below the sun to acquire the dark complexion while others could take drugs in order to obtain that skin effect. However, it took a lot of time because of the processes involved in melanin, the dark pigment on skin.

Basking in the sun for periods not longer than 15 minutes each day can really help your skin to be free of some depression. There are many benefits of using sunless tan products as opposed to using direct sunlight and tan beds.

This is because the melanocytes that are responsible for production of melanin, the dark pigment on skin, needs more time to be activated by the sun rays. Another reason as to why people go for fake tanner products is that they can achieve a tan after a very short while.

Majority of people using these beds stand a higher chance of suffering from skin cancers as opposed to those who use sunless tanner products such as lotions, sprays, and gels. The application tan products helps one attain the desired glow within a very short time, thus they save on time allowing people to go about their daily routines.

While some of these cancers can be treated, they may possibly be detected at a much later stage thus being hard to be treated. Besides, these cancers are very expensive to treat. Using artificial sunless tan products to tan your skin may help one to stay away from these skin cancers, as they do not expose one to the deadly sun rays. Using tan application products is safe and cheap. This is because they are easy to apply even while at home.
