Physical appearance is important to most people. Many feel that having a tanned skin tone makes them more confident and that they look more attractive to others. A lot of people will go to great lengths to achieve this look, even risking their health and well being to create a certain persona. Celebrities can influence young girls particularly and make them want the same tanned even complexion these celebrities seem to exude. For anyone who wants to achieve a safe tanned appearance there are a number of sun tanner products to choose from.

Anyone who has spent any time at a water park, on a lake or pond, or on the sand by the ocean has seen people who will bake themselves in the sun with little or no protection for their skin. Even knowing the proven risks they continue to expose themselves to the effects of bright sunlight. They will insist that sunbathing is the only way to get a natural looking tan.

Doctors have been telling their patients for decades that overexposure to harsh sunlight is risky and dangerous. It can have long lasting effects. Skin cancer is common and can have devastating consequences for its victims. Sagging, wrinkled, dry skin is also a byproduct of overexposure to harsh sunlight.

Tanning beds were very popular at one time. People thought they could get a gradual tan which would be safer than being exposed to direct sunlight. In fact most experts now say that the risk of getting skin cancer from using tanning beds is as high as the risk from overexposure to direct sunlight.

Some companies sell pills that they claim will cause the skin to become tanned. The Food and Drug Administration has no research on the safety and effectiveness of these pills because they are sold as dietary supplements.

Tanning lotions that create an alternative to sunbathing have been available for many years. In years past they were not a perfect solution for anyone trying to achieve a natural tanned look. Many people complained that using these products created an unnatural skin color. It was difficult to get an even skin tone and the results could be streaky and unnatural. Some lotions actually had an odd odor that many people objected to.

These lotions have improved greatly over the last few years and have become much more popular. Spray tanning has also become very popular. Spray tan salons are enjoying a booming business as people realize they can get a naturally tanned look. They can stay safely out of the sunlight or use plenty of sunscreen and enjoy spending time in the sun. Not everyone wants to go to a salon though. Spray tan products are readily available in most stores for people who would rather do their sunless tanning at home.

For many people having a great looking tan is important to their overall appearance. They think it makes them look younger and gives them an assurance that they would lack without it. Using a sun tanner product is the safest way to achieve the look they want.
