People watch what they eat because they are trying to stay healthy. They exercise their bodies and minds to stay fit. They do not smoke because they know it is dangerous for their own health, as well producing unhealthy second hand smoke for others. Then why in the world would they think about tanning? There have been proven studies linking sun beds to skin cancer and premature aging. Why would anyone take that unnecessary risk?

To understand tanning you have to understand what happens to the body as it is exposed to sunlight. Everyone needs sunlight in order get their free dose of vitamin D, to be healthy and live a long life. But going out into the sun for extended periods of time without protection is just as dangerous as lighting up a cigarette. The ultra-violet radiation damages your skin and can cause skin cancer. You may have that golden glow now, but wait a few years. It will not be so golden when you have to have a spot of skin cancer removed.

There are ways to look tanned and golden without damaging your skin in the process. You can have fake tans that look like the real thing. That golden designer skin can be yours with some self tanning lotion. It is easy to apply if you know what you are doing. Most people make the mistake of trying to apply the lotion to dry skin. Fake tans are notorious for streaking and this is why it happens. If you want an even application, then you need to start with freshly exfoliated skin straight from the shower. Dry your body and then apply regular moisturizer. This will eliminate any dry areas that could become too dark during the do-it-yourself tanning process.

The key to avoiding streaking and splotchy patches is to apply a thin coat. You can always go back and apply a second coat later after the first one has dried. When you apply too much of the product, it will run and leave streaks. If you have tried the self tanning lotion and it does not seem to work well on you, then you can always try the new spray tans that most tanning salons have to offer. They are really affordable and the results will last for quite some time.
