The popularity of getting sun from a bottle, sometimes referred to a tan in a can, is showing that we are becoming more aware of the dangers of tanning in the sun. We have been told for so long that harmful UV Rays can cause skin cancer, wrinkles, age spots, and leather-like skin that most Americans are finally listening and using sunless tanning products.

Sunless tanning lotions work by changing the color of the skin by dying the top layer. The color slowly fades as dead skin cells are replaced by live skin cells. Then you reapply the sunless tanning lotion to the new top layer of skin and again you have a golden bronze color that makes you look like you just came back from vacation.

 Years ago when sunless tanning first came out the sunless tanning products were mediocre at best, sometimes turning your skin a patch orange color but recent improvements have made these sunless tanning products skyrocket. The colors appear more natural and they are much easier to use. There are also more products available to the average consumer such as:

• Airbrush sunless tanning
• Sunless tanning wipes
• Sunless tanning booths
• Sunless tanning sprays

Sunless tanning lotions come in different colors for the myriad of different skin tones such as light, medium, and dark tones. They also come with extra moisturizer and for people with oily skin they even have sunless tanning products made for that. Other vitamins, herbal extracts, and antioxidants are being added to sunless tanning products to expand the benefits.

 One of the latest ways to get a sunless tan is through a sunless tanning booth. It is a commercial booth that can be found at any tanning salon where you stand in a sunless tanning booth and have a spray or mist cover your whole body both back and front. It is distributed evenly and works immediately, so that after even an hour you have the look of a golden tan. It may be easier than doing it yourself because you literally just have to stand there and be sprayed. It does take a repeat application at least once a week to keep the look of a suntan but for many it is worth it to avoid the sun.

Sunless tanning products can range from the inexpensive such as $3.99 a bottle to the high-priced at almost $20.00 a bottle. In this case it is best to go with a more expensive bottle because they give you more of an even tan and it tends to match your skin tone more so than a cheap bottle of sunless tanning lotion. It can come both in a sunless tanning lotion, sunless tanning spray, and sunless tan foam. Whichever way you want to get your sunless tan is completely up to you, since people have such different opinions of all three. It is whatever works best with your body and what you are comfortable with applying.
