A Report About Tanning Products
By Bob Pardue Photography
The following paragraphs summarize the work of
tanning experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of
tanning. Heed their advice to avoid any tanning surprises.
You want to know what the world needs? A
healthy tan! Or at least everyone seems to think so. Now, the two
terms "healthy" and "tan" are a bit contradictory. As we all know by
now, tans are really not that healthy. In fact, they lead to
premature aging and skin cancer. None of us want these things.
Luckily for Caucasian individuals everywhere,
there are now some tanning products available without side-effects.
Yes indeed, you can have your cake and eat it too. Say hello to the
spray-on tan and infinite other sunless tanners.
Once you begin to move beyond basic background
information, you begin to realize that there's more to tanning than
you may have first thought.
Why is it that everyone wants a tan in the
first place? From what I hear, Coco Channel started this whole trend
back in the day when she returned to Hollywood with a vicious tan she
acquired while on vacation somewhere. Suddenly everyone wanted a tan.
Personally I prefer to stick with the skin
color I was given, but to each his own. Anyway, back then everyone
was sun-bathing like it was no big thing. A couple hours basking in
the sun's glorious rays was considered healthy. No one
pondered the
aftermath of the sun's fury. No one expected to acquire leathery skin
and wrinkles galore, but they did nonetheless.
Just take a look at the old lady on "There's
Something About Mary." She's a prime example of someone who's
sunbathed their entire life. YUCK! I could make a suitcase with that
woman's flesh. On the other hand, that era can be put behind us with
contemporary tanning products.
Now it's more about massaging the tan into the
skin, rather than lying out in the sun. The greatest thing about
sunless tanning products is that they have no messy aftermath.
Try a few and see for yourself. Of the new-age
sunless tanning products, I'd have to guess that the subtle ones are
the biggest hit right now. Lotions such as "Touch of Sun" are being
snagged off the drugstore shelves everywhere.
Apparently they leave no messy orange streaking
behind. This is key in sunless tanning products. NO ONE wants to look
like a messy science experiment.
Another option you may want to try is mist-on
tanning. This is done in a professional atmosphere and is supposed to
be all the rage right now. Get your tan on the safe way!
