One would think that by this time most people have got the message that exposure to the sun is dangerous to their health. Yet people still desire a golden brown skin and allow the sun to bake them into ill health. Cancer is not the only threat. Ugly skin scars, liver spots and wrinkles are all results of over exposure to the sun. The better option is to use self tanning lotion.

A basic internet search will reveal that there are a staggering number of different products on the market. Each one of them promises that consumers can look forward to a beautiful tan that is natural looking and easy to attain. Consumers should be careful, however, because these products are developed for very specific types of skin. A product that works very well for one person may not be the right product for someone else.

Care should be taken when researching products online. Some manufacturers have websites disguised as consumer sites and it is obvious that they will promote their own products. It is best to look for websites that are truly independent and that compare various products objectively with each other. It would also be wise to use only sites that employ the services of content managers that are experts in this field.

Another source of objective advice is some of the more popular beauty and fashion magazines. Most of these magazines allow their readers to pose questions that are then answered by experts in the field. This advice is normally reliable and independent. It may also be a good idea to visit a beauty salon that sells a variety of products meant to produce an instant tan. They can offer advice on which product will work best with the skin type of the customer.

Quality beauty products are expensive and consumers should be very careful before opting for cheaper products. In fact, if a quality product cannot be afforded it is better to forget the idea of an instant tan. Products of poor quality can cause damage to the skin. It can also produce a highly unfavorable and uneven color that is very difficult to correct.

It is very important to be aware of the ingredients of any beauty before it is used. If it contains allergens the user can experience itching, swelling and pain. Experts advise that it is better to avoid using products that do not list all the ingredients used in its manufacturer. Even when the ingredients are listed it is always a good idea to test the product on a tiny area when using it for the first time.

Modern consumers are environmentally aware and it is important to use only beauty products that have not been tested on laboratory animals. Many beauty products are harmful and even toxic if used in the wrong manner. That is why it is also important to be careful when discarding unused products or empty containers.

There is no arguing that the sun can cause irreparable damage to the skin and even cancer. The best precaution is to stay out of the sun and to wear sunscreen when it is unavoidable. For those that still want a tan, the use of a lotion appropriate to the specific skin type is definitely a much wiser option.
