The skin is the largest organ of the body. Its primary purpose is to protect the rest of the inner body organs from mechanical and chemical damage. However, it is also a symbol of beauty and makes people feel better about themselves. Therefore, people go to great lengths to enhance the way their skins look and protect them from any damaging factors. There has been an ongoing debated on whether people should use a sun tanner or a sunless tanning process.



Manufacturers have flooded the market with various brands of products. A sun tanner is able to achieve the same side effects as the natural sun rays would. Manufacturers depend on several factors to market their products. Among these is that the sun has rays that have harmful side effects on the skin. Research has shown that these rays have a direct effect on occurrence of cancer.

Various manufacturers also claim that their products are based on natural ingredients and therefore do not have any harmful effects. Several brands are produced from pure animal products according to the labels stuck on them. There are also others based on plant extracts such as sunflower, lavender and others.

Though manufacturers may claim that their products are different and healthier than others, they all have the same FDA approved ingredient. It is called DHA and works by causing reactions with the skin amino acids. This causes instantaneous darkening of the skin, which is the main objective of tanning.

Information is necessary for people to be able to make informed decisions. Through research, scientists have been able to establish that the sun has several negative side effects on the skin. They are caused by long periods of exposure to the sun and vary from one individual to another. Among the common effects are sunburns and in extreme cases cancer. DHA has been found to be free of any harmful side effects and therefore products containing it can be trusted.

Among the benefits achieved by using artificial tanning is that one can get a perfect tan in any season. Naturally, one has to wait for the summer to get a natural suntan. Unlike the unpredictable effects of a suntan, the creams and sprays do not cause effects like aging of the skin or skin cancer. However, those who use tanning booth for the whole body should have protective gear for their eyes. Otherwise, they risk damage to these organs.

Another advantage of artificially induced sun tanner tanning is that it allows even tanning for the whole body. Sunbathing requires one to be in a bikini. Apart from in the few nude beaches in the world, it is an offense to be nude in public. Therefore the bikini covers some areas resulting in patches where the skin is in different colors.

Various products enable people to achieve the objective of tanning their skins. Sun tanner products can be acquired from general stores or from beauty shops. Most manufacturers also distribute their products through websites and various online stores.
