With the summer season approaching, acquiring a golden glow becomes part of our TO DO list. A little sun bathing or bed tanning here and there should do the trick, right? But, what about my skin’s health?
Is it true all the information running around saying that by exposing my skin to ultraviolet (UV) rays I could seriously be compromising my skin’s condition? If these types of questions trouble your mind while you are putting on bronzer at the beach keep reading, we hope to provide you with essential information to clear any doubts.
If you are of the ones that systematically forget to apply sunblock either on a daily basis or before a prolonged exposure period to the sun we are afraid to tell you that unfortunately such rumors are true. The degradation of the ozone layer, the one responsible for filtering the UV rays has come to reshape the way in which we should interact with the sun.
The EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) declared in an article that “skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States and UV radiation from the sun and from tanning beds is classified as a human carcinogen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization”. Therefore, as you can see not paying attention to precautionary measures can come at a great price.
Another possible risk for your skin is premature aging. Wrinkles and spots are commonly perceived as being the result of the deterioration of the organism; however, such deterioration corresponds to a lifetime of exposure to environmental agents having the sun as the main ingredient. But hold! Not everything is lost! There is an alternative solution for acquiring a spectacular tan: Sunless Spray Tanning.
What is Sunless Spray Tanning? Sunless Spray Tanning is the spray/mist application of Sunless Tanning Solution to desired areas of your body. When applied, DHA (The active ingredient in Sunless Tanning Solution) reacts with the protein in the skin’s superficial layer to form a golden brown color. Your skin begins to darken two or three hours after the application and reaches its peak color within 24 hours, leaving you ready for a day at the beach without bronzers or a party wearing your favorite outfit . Doesn’t it sound great?! Not only do you ensure the protection of your skin, you receive numerous benefits as well.
