Most people have now got the message that too much exposure to sunlight can be harmful to their health. Skin cancer is one of the biggest dangers, but it is by no means the only concern. Exposure to the sun also leads to early aging as well as spots and other unsightly marks on the skin. The problem is that so many people with light skins still crave a tan. Sporting a golden brown hide remains fashionable. The answer is to rather consider sunless tanning.

There is a myriad of products that promises a beautiful tan without the need to expose the body to the sun. Many consumers find it difficult to choose the product that will work best for them. It may be useful to visit a few of the many internet sites that provide advice on this topic. Some sites also publish detailed product reviews and many allow consumers to share their experiences with specific products.

Consumers should nevertheless be discerning when they obtain advice from other consumers. Advice and feedback that is extreme in either direction, either extremely positive or utterly negative, should be disregarded. It is best to heed advice that is objective and balanced. It is also important to remember that all products are not suitable for all types of skin. What works well for one person may produce disastrous results in another.

Consumers can also approach a skin specialist to have their skin types analyzed. Based on the result they will be better able to buy a suitable product. This can be costly, but when the consequences of skin damage are considered, it may be a wise route to take. Many salons can also provide objective and valuable advice.

Most professional beauty therapists agree that it is a big mistake to purchase any cosmetics, including tan lotions that are produced by unknown manufacturers. Trying to save money by buying cheap and untested products can lead to bitter disappointment and very poor results. They can even cause extensive damage to the skin. The best advice is therefore to either buy the best possible product or to rater do without it altogether.

Many beauty products contain allergens. Consumers should make sure that they are not allergic to any of the ingredients before they purchase the product. It may be best to ask advice at the salon selling the products or to contact the manufacturer for detailed information. New products should always be applied to a small area of skin to see if there are any adverse reactions. If there is, the product should be avoided.

Responsible consumers keep environmental issues in mind when they buy beauty products. It is truly advisable to avoid any products that have been tested on animals or produced by manufacturers that have a reputation for pollution. Many beauty products are harmful to the eco system and care should therefore be taken when disposing of empty containers or unused products.

That the sun causes damage to the skin is a fact that nobody can repudiate. Many people only see the damage in later years, but then it is often too late to take action. If a tan is required, the best possible route is to get it without exposing the skin to the sun.
