Dermatologists warn that ultra violet sun rays are becoming increasingly dangerous and that chronic exposure can cause various types of skin problems, the worst of which is skin cancer. How can you get that so-desired suntan, without causing long-term damage to your skin?
 
The solution is to be found in face and body self tanners, with products available in a variety of forms- emulsion, cream, gel, and spray, among others. Absorbing effectively without staining clothing, today’s self tanners are simple to use. They spread evenly, resulting in uniform and beautiful tans. You can choose the texture that suits you best and offers your skin the best hydration. And, of course, you can find the perfect scent. Can you say the same about a day sweating on a crowded beach?
 
Quick Tips:
 
- Before applying self-tanning products, exfoliate your skin in order to remove dead cells and achieve even coverage.
 
- Read instructions carefully to avoid unpleasant surprises.

- Although the effects of self tanning depends largely on the tone of your skin, you will deepen your tan by simply applying your self tanning products more often.
 
- After application, wash well to remove color from the inside of the palms.

- If you are worried about what products to buy, Nutribronze by L’ Oréal and Holiday Skin Body Lotion by Johnson’s are both safe bets.

- Remember that self-tanning products will not protect you from dangerous sun rays.
