  1. Golden Brown Summer Skin • Dangers of Indoor Tanning • Sunless Tanning Safety and Review

  2. Tanning is the darkening of the skin due to ultraviolet radiation. Indoor tanning devices contain a mixture of UVA and UVB, simulating the mixture found in the sun. Is Indoor Tanning Healthy?

  3. Is Indoor Tanning Healthy? • When acquiring a tan, the brown pigment, melanin, is produced and distributed in the epidermis of the skin in the days following exposure. • The damage caused when developing this pigment minimally protects the skin against further damage from UV radiation

  4. Studies show that tans have a very poor ability to prevent sun burning. Ultraviolet light causes skin cancer Is Indoor Tanning Healthy?

  5. Sunless Tanning Safety • All sunless tanners contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone). • DHA temporarily stains the skin surface and fades like a suntan as skin cells are naturally shed. • DHA is considered by experts to be completely safe for skin, however it won’t protect you from UV exposure.

  6. Sunless Tanning • Experts say, the best way to achieve an even, sunless tan is to exfoliate and be sure skin is smooth before applying the product.
