Convincing Men To Find The Best Sunless Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Long gone are the days when sun bathers lined up beaches on lakes, rivers, and oceans with their bodies coated in cooking grease or baby oil. These days we realize how dangerous this practice was, as we see our mothers and fathers fighting skin cancer and age spots, not to mention the generally aged look to their skin. Learning from their example, young people do the research in order to choose the best sunless tanner for them.

Skin tone certainly dictates to a great extent what choices one might make. When one already has a darker tone, they are more likely to go for creams, gels, and lotions rather than a tanning bed. For them, it is all about protecting and moisturizing, as well as keeping their skin tone even, rather than obtaining a particular color or complexion which they may already possess.

These products also keep skin hydrated and moisturized, which is an important element to consider when one spends a great deal of time outside. Not only the sun leaches moisture, but the wind can dry one out as well, leaving cheeks and lips chapped and uncomfortable. Utilizing a UV-rated lip balm is just as necessary as finding the right lotion.

Spray on solutions have become quite popular these days, with cosmetic foundation as well as tanning solutions. Some women keep to the cosmetic foundations, however, as the tanning solutions have a tendency to make their skin look orange and unnatural. To avoid this result, it is recommended that the skin be well exfoliated so that the tanning solution can be absorbed evenly.

Indoor tanning has become even more popular than gels, lotions, oils, or solutions. In fact, it is even more popular than laying out in the sun, as there seems to be a perspective that this form of tanning is less dangerous. This is not entirely true, however, and women need to know this.

In the aspect that one is better able to control their exposure, tanning beds may be more safe. However, some people will go too far with it, and the resultant burns are just as painful, and just as dangerous as anything one might get outside. The risk of falling asleep in the tanning bed is actually greater than the risk of falling asleep on the beach.

Newer beds also come with an alarm, or at least a loud bell ring when the fifteen minutes are up. This bell can be turned off, but many of the beds cannot be set to stay on for longer than 15 or 30 minutes at a time. Even so, businesses which still allow a tanning bed on site are usually very watchful of how long their client has been inside the tanning room.

With coconut oil being all the rage these days, it is important to point out that there is coconut oil tanning products on the market. This allows for the deep hydration provided by coconut oil along with the skin-protecting benefits of a bronzer. So long as one is not allergic to coconut, this is a highly recommended product.
