Sunless Tanning - Pros and Cons

Sunless tanning can be time consuming and a pain in the butt. It is really worth it though. Especially since skin cancer is a huge epidemic right now. Sunless tanning saves your skin and your health. It is not worth being tan for the chance of skin cancer. I do know that is you do get skin cancer it can spread pretty quickly. It is nasty too. You need to take care of your skin, and right now knowing everything we do, you would be stupid to still wreck yourself by tanning. I am not only talking about tanning in the tanning beds but also taking precautions while out in the sun. Using sunless tanning you can be tan and healthy. Really, you should not have to do it that often. About once a week, depending on how tan you want to be. Keep in mind, the more you put on, the chances are greater that it will look fake. I think no matter how good the sunless tanning lotion is; if you use it too much it will look orange. You need to watch out for that.

It can be time consuming, but the more you do it, the quicker and easier it will get. There are spots you really need to watch out for so that they do not turn orange. It will not matter what kind of lotion you use, you still need to be really careful around these areas. Your fingers, hands, ankles, elbows, knees, and hair lines are spots that will easily turn orange. You need to use lotion sparingly and wash your hands very, very well after using. Also, if you put sunless tanning lotion on dry skin it will look orange and uneven. That will eliminate orange spots. The lotion embeds itself in these spots because there are so many cracks and lines. If it stays there it will just turn orange-ish. Think of it this way: if you were to put lotion on a smooth spot of skin vs. a dry cracked area. The lotion will just sit in the cracks vs. a smooth spot where it will easily spread over.
