We all want to have tanned skin. Many of us spend hours in the sun or even in a solarium to achieve this. However, this is not only time-consuming, but also harmful to our health. Fortunately, there is an alternative that has become increasingly popular in recent years: self-tanners. In this blog post, I will explain the advantages of self-tanning over sun tanning.
- Avoid damage to the skin
One of the biggest advantages of self-tanners is that they do not damage the skin. Sunlight contains UV rays that can be harmful in both the short and long term. In the short term, they can lead to sunburn and in the long term to premature skin ageing and skin cancer. However, self-tanners do not contain UV rays and therefore cannot damage the skin.
- Faster and easier
Another advantage of self-tanners is that they are much quicker and easier to apply than sun cream. While you have to apply sun cream several times a day, you can simply apply self-tanner once and then have a beautiful tan for several days.
- Even tan
Another advantage of self-tanners is that they lead to an even tan. When tanning in the sun, areas such as the face, hands and feet can often be neglected, resulting in spots and an uneven tan. Self-tanners, on the other hand, can be applied evenly to achieve a perfect tan.
- No risk of sun allergies
Sun allergies can occur in some people if they are exposed to too much sun. This can lead to skin redness, itching and swelling. Self-tanners can completely eliminate this risk as they do not expose the skin to the sun.
- Year-round tanning effect
Another advantage of self-tanners is that they can be used at any time of year. Even in winter or on rainy days, you can have a beautiful tan without having to go out in the sun. In summary, it can be said that self-tanners are a good alternative to sun tanning. They are healthier for the skin, easier and quicker to apply, lead to an even tan, avoid the risk of sun allergies and can be used at any time of year.
