Don't
Be in the Dark About Tanning - Some think turning light skin
darker gives off an aura of good health. But a suntan actually
signals skin damage. When exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation,
the skin produces a pigment called melanin to protect itself from
burning. And while indoor or "sunless" tanning may seem
like convenient alternatives, especially during the winter months,
these practices may not be risk-free. Before stepping into a tanning
booth or buying over-the-counter (OTC) tanning products, consider
these facts.
Indoor tanning can be as harmful as outdoor tanning. More than
1 million people visit tanning salons on an average day, according
to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). But many don't know
that indoor tanning devices, such as tanning beds and sunlamps,
emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation that's similar to and sometimes
more powerful than the sun. The Food and Drug Administration discourages
the use of tanning beds and sunlamps.
Sunless
Tanning vs. Sun Tanning - With more and more of us understanding
the serious consequences of sun tanning, we are looking for alternatives.
Remember the first self tanners that hit the shelves many years
ago wella you became instant carrot orange. Well weve
come along way babe! The new sunless tanning products are much
more natural looking than past generations of sunless tanning
products.
