Since the 1960's, people have become more aware of the effects of the sun on our skin. As a result, Sunless Tanning has increased in popularity. Many people are afraid of premature aging and skin cancer from excessive exposure to the sun. Now you can safely apply chemicals to your skin for a natural looking tan and not worry about harming your skin.

Most people appreciate the healthy look that a suntan can give your over-all appearance. Having a soft glow to your skin can have many benefits. It can make you look younger, more fit, hide skin imperfections, and just give a healthier look over-all.

Unfortunately, the more we learn about the sun and the damaging effects it can have on our skin, the less inclined we are to spend more time in it. Skin cancer awareness has caused people to fear the sun and too much time in a tanning bed. People everywhere are lathering on layers of sunscreen to help protect their skin.

But with UV-free tanning, you don't have to worry about too much sun exposure. Spray tanning uses a chemical called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to cause a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the dead layer on the skins surface. It then causes the skin to darken in color. The color will gradually fade over the next 3-10 days, sometimes longer.

DHA is not a dye, stain, or paint and is safe to use. You don't have to worry about premature aging, unnecessary wrinkles or skin cancer when using this product. It safely washes away as your skin sloughs off dead skin cells over the next week or two.

You can purchase products from the store containing DHA if you wish to achieve a tan at home. These lotions can be difficult to apply evenly and may not come out looking natural. You can also go to a salon, step into a spray tanning booth and have your tan sprayed on. The last option is to have someone professionally airbrush your tan on.

Purchasing a cream or lotion and doing it yourself is the most cost effective. However, it can be tricky to make sure that you have applied it on evenly, especially in hard to reach areas. Stepping into a booth and having your tan sprayed on can cost a little bit more, but you can purchase a membership or a package that can save you a lot of money in the long-run. The last option costs the most because it requires someone to personally spray your body with an airbrush gun.

The benefit of having the machine or airbrush gun tan you is more even results. The booth takes less than a minute, while being sprayed with an airbrush gun can take quite a bit longer. It is important to note that a spray tan will not provide protection from the sun, so be sure to continue wearing sunblock when you are in the sun's rays.

Sunless Tanning is affordable and safe. If you desire the soft glow of a tan, but don't want to risk over-exposure to the sun, this may be an option for you to consider. UV-free tanning is a good choice for safe tanning. You can have a wrinkle free tan without the risk of developing skin cancer. Enjoy a soft, worry-free natural glow!
