Before summer starts you'll need to get that winter body of yours in shape. Eating healthy foods and working out is a part of that plan. But, what about your skin color? Here's where sunless spray and airbrush tanning come into your picture. Even if you are not a teenager in modeling you can look more like one with the right attributes and without as much worry about skin and other types of cancer.

 

Sunless, Spray and Airbrush Tanning - Are They All the Same?

Tan Out of the Sun

No matter if you are a teenage female model or just aspire to look good on the beach, you may want to take a closer look at your skin. If your complexion is beginning to show a few dark spots and your chest a few wrinkles and freckly patches, then you just might want to rethink your next bout with the sun.

Any star residing that close to planet earth is far too powerful to bask in regularly. You all know who you are. You slick your body up in baby oil and tanning lotions so that your skin will draw in the heaviest rays, hence leaving you a hue of golden brown.

Well, I hate to be the one to drop the bomb, but you're damaging your skin greatly. There is no greater factor when it comes to premature aging than the sun's UV rays. This is why so many companies are developing new and improved sunless tanning products. There just may be a healthy alternative.

Skin cancer doesn't seem to frighten folks away from the tiny clad glove bikini sun bathing ritual and chains of tanning bed salons. This goes double for our youth. Young people across the country are basking in the sun on a daily basis in order to keep that tan as long as possible.

Sadly there is no end in sight to this routine. If you want a rich bronze tan, you have to continuously sunbathe in order to keep one. Since our skin naturally exfoliates daily, you have to tan the skin below once the surface area is gone.

Sure, body lotions and moisturizers will assist you with this process, but why not make things simple? Try contemporary and effective sunless tanning products. You can exfoliate your body in the bath or shower with a quality scrub, and then apply a sunless tanning lotion.

In no time flat, you have golden skin that's already moisturized. This is a routine you can do every two or three days instead of sunbathing. If you're wondering about the benefits, let me lay it out for you. With new-age sunless tanning products, premature aging is not a concern.

Your skin is not dried-out, nor is it damaged with spots and wrinkles like it is when you sunbathe. And cancer is not a worry anymore. Why wouldn't you switch to the healthy way to tan?

Spray Tans for Sunless Beauty

I read the most bizarre study recently concerning the sun. It basically encouraged men to sun bathe. The essay went on to describe the positive effects of the sun regarding men. Apparently it has been proven that sunlight helps prevent prostate cancer.

Who'd have ever guessed this? Vitamin E is a main factor here. As you probably already know, the sun offers this. On the other hand, the piece also described how the sun can lead to certain types of skin cancer.

But, seeing how prostate cancer is more severe, they encouraged regular sun bathing. Isn't the conclusion of this study fairly odd? I think so! There are definitely better ways to prevent prostate cancer, but that's a different article. I am here to recommend spray tan instead of a real tan. This is a contemporary method that doesn't lead to cancer.

Self tanner has been around for a number of years. Let me think about this for a moment. I first tried this stuff back in the 11th grade. That would have been in 1993. I purchased some random self tanner at a local drugstore and started massaging it into my legs. Did it work?

Of course it did! It made my legs a brownish orange hue, along with my shorts and part of my white T-shirt. Yeah, all in all good stuff! Of course you can tell I'm being completely sarcastic here. The stuff was worthless. Nothing like the spray tan offered in salons today.

All across the USA this new method of tanning is becoming all the rage. Folks will continue to crave a nice golden tan, but no one wants to deal with the routine aftermath. I am referring to the effects of the sun. They are harsh and sometimes irreversible. From skin cancer, to age spots, to premature wrinkles, the list goes on. YUCK!

If you've always been a regular sun bunny, and simply can't survive without a constant tan, then you may want to give the new spray tan concept a shot. It's like having your body airbrushed by professionals. You can't compare it to that old-school self tanner that made your legs orange. Spray tan is the way of the future. Are you ready to get your tan on?

One More Tan - Airbrush That Body

Being Irish and fair skinned beyond belief, I of course get a sun burn at the mere thought of going out into the sun. When I was a teenager, I literally burned so badly that I had blisters on my shoulders several times.

So, couple that with learning that sun exposure, especially burning to that extreme, is a major contributor to skin cancer and I was looking for something that would help me look tan without the health side effects. I finally decided to try airbrush tanning after hearing about it several times.

I was probably in high school when the self tanners made the big splash onto the scene. I tried those, but the early days left something to be desired. I ended up looking like an Oompa Loompa from Willy Wonka on several occasions.

You could always tell which poor souls tried this method because their knee caps and hands were stained orange, and you could see the streaks from a mile away.

The only good thing was that none of the products at the time really worked, so if you tried one and ended up looking all orange you weren’t going to be alone. While it was a good idea (and still is), there certainly were kinks that needed to be worked out.

Before my wedding, I upgraded to a department store brand and thought that maybe things had changed. This was before the advent of airbrush tanning, so this was the best option. Let’s just say that luckily I tried this a few weeks before my wedding so that there was enough time for the orange and streaks to wear off.

It seems as if the people that need these products most – the pale and pasty – are the ones that can’t use them because of the orange side effects. I’ve seen some people using them to just achieve a more bronzed look, and they look perfectly fine. Not so in my case.

Finally, a year ago I tried this tan using a gift certificate to a local spa. I will never ever use another sunless product again, and I don’t feel the need to go out into the sun unprotected to achieve a sun kissed glow.

Sure, airbrush sunless tanning has its drawbacks, like that it only lasts about two weeks or so, but if you ever have a special event or are willing to drop the money regularly, airbrush tanning is leaps and bounds above self applied self tanners.

Choose from a number of healthy sunless tanning products including airbrush or a spray at your local drugstore. There are literally more than you can deal with. Surely you'll have no trouble finding a quality one that provides a great golden glow. Welcome to the future of tanning with out the sun, or as much skin damage.
