Spray tanning salons have popped up in many cities in recent years. More and more people are getting tans by various sunless tanning methods.

The main reason is that many people believe that it is safe. This is actually half the story and it is not entirely accurate.

The Food and Drug Administration regards the active ingredient in spray tanning solutions to be safe when applied topically on the skin. People interpreted such as statement as meaning spray tanning is safe.

Dihyroxyacetone might be safe when applied on the skin but it is dangerous if inhaled or if it comes in contact with the face, especially the eyes, lips and nostrils.

The Food and Drug Administration actually advises people to wear eye goggles, nose plugs and to cover their lips when getting a spray on tan. This advice is ignored because the tanning salons don’t enforce such recommendations.

Another troubling aspect is that spray tanning solutions also include other chemicals that are very potent and dangerous to the health of people. Chemicals such as mercury are sometimes used and mercury is indeed dangerous.

Unfortunately this information is often times ignored because the fallacy that spray tanning is safe dominates peoples’ perception of sunless tans.

Sunless tanning could very well prove to be safe if people use caution. It is very important that the label with the ingredients be read and understood because these are harmful chemicals we’re talking about.

The more aware a person is the less likely they will suffer negative consequences. Tanning salons won’t warn you about the dangers because if they did, they might lose a customer.

The more a person knows and the more aware they are the less likelihood for regret. Don’t rely on the tanning salon to protect your health, you must be proactive in this regard. Their main interest is to make money and not your health.

Common sense is a great thing and common sense should tell us that anything artificial is not necessarily better than something that is natural.

Excessive sun rays is indeed harmful to the skin but thinking that an artificial sunless tan is the solution is a wrong way of looking at things.

Truth be told spray tanning is relatively unknown as far as negative repercussions go. It will take a lot more research and testing before we can claim spray tanning is indeed safe.

Perhaps it would be best if we used caution whenever we decide to enter a spray tanning booth.

They say that if you want to get a tan fast, you should just go and lie under the sun for a certain amount of time. But going under the sun without any protection is great risk factor. You are going to get your self a wrinkle, sun burn if there is no proper protection.

If you want to get a tan, there is really no such thing as a totally risk-free tanning. Even if you apply sunscreen or sun protection lotions there is still risks involve. But there is a lot of way to decrease these risks to get a tan.

Knowing how sensitive your skin is, is the first thing you should know before you get a tan. People who have fair skin gets a sun burn easily. Just by exposing themselves under the sun for 30 minutes can cause sun burn. Knowing the place where you are going to have your vacation is also important. UV radiation is stronger when the altitude is high.

Buying sunscreen and tanning products without getting the right SPF level will not help protect your skin. You should get products with higher SPF level when you are going to expose your self for a very long time under the sun. Another way to be sure that you are getting the right product is to consult your dermatologist.

Another way to reduce the risk of getting sun burnt instead of a tan is to avoid exposing yourself under the sun from 10 AM to 4 PM. Just like babies, adults also need the healthy rays of sun that is before 10 AM.

Swimming is the first thing on everyone’s mind during the summer. Some might think that they do not need to apply sunscreen because they will be in the water most of the time. But this is not true, UV radiation reaches up to 9 feet even if you are in the water. The worst part is that you are getting sun burnt without even knowing it.

And after every 20 minutes, be sure to apply sunscreen. If you are using tanning lotion alone to get a tan, you still need sunscreen. Yes, tanning lotion will help you get a tan fast but sunscreen protects you from the damaging UV rays.
