All of us feel better when we have a tan in the summer, but achieving this all year round can be difficult without having five holidays a year and having olive skin. While the majority of us have skin ranging from freckly to very pale we need a solution to keep us looking good all year round without out us aging dramatically and getting skin cancer.
So how would you achieve a tan without having to go on a sunbed and risk all the health risks that are associated with doing that? Use fake tan? There are many fake tans out there on the market, with some of them being better than others. Some give a more natural tan than others, some smell better than others and some last better than others.
We are all looking for the perfect tan. The best fake tan tanning products should also dry quickly once applied to the skin. This cuts down on the time required and will provide you with a natural looking overall tan. Tan sprays are the best option if you don’t want to put on gloves. Sprays provide even coverage and there would be no problem with overuse so you would not have to worry about orange.
Good luck finding the product that suits you best.

Chemicals and Sunscreen… hmmm… scary stuff if you think about it. Why not go for a standard safe tanning lotion instead?
Tanning lotions can be broadly divided into three categories: those for outdoor tanning, indoor tanning lotion, and sunless tanning lotion.
There is also a category onto itself called Suncreen Lotions. Unless the sunscreen is 100% natural I would say to beware!
Standard outdoor tanning lotions are perfect when you’re going to the beach or lying out by the pool. If you’re going to a salon to get that golden glow, you’ll need a tanning bed lotion. If you want to avoid the rays altogether, you’ll want a sunless tanning lotion that you can apply yourself in the comfort of your own home.
Before you select a tanning lotion, it’s helpful to think about your tanning goals. Would you like a tan for a special occasion, like your wedding day or a class reunion? Are you a committed sun worshipper who relishes the deep bronze color of a lasting tan? Or are you planning a week at the beach and want some color while avoiding ruining your vacation with a sunburn on your first day out?
Advances in chemistry and technology mean that we can find products that are specific to our needs. There are special lotions for facial tanning, for example, while others are developed just for the legs. There are bronzers, tingle lotions, and hybrids that contain both bronzing and tingling properties. There is also an abundance of sunscreens, from regular SPF lotions to lip balms to sunscreen specifically designed for tattoos.
