Tanning Methods

• There are different ways to get your skin tanned.
  Sun tanning, Tanning beds, and sunless tanning
  applications are few of the methods that are
  commonly used.
• Benjamin Pure is an expert in sunless tanning
  products.
• Understanding various tanning methods
• Selecting right method for getting a tanned skin
  can be confusing. One must try to understand
  different demerits of skin tanning methods to
  select the right way to get the desired tan.
• Sun tanning is the conventional tanning method
  and is used by millions of people round the
  world. However, with growing concern of ozone
  layer depletion, sun tanning can prove to be
  hazardous.

• Classification of wavelengths of sunlight is done
  by naming rays with short and long wavelengths as
  UV A and UV B rays respectively.
• Ultraviolet rays consist of UV A, UV B, and UV C
  radiations. One need not worry about UV C rays
  because these are absorbed by ozone layers.
• UV A and UV B radiations pose grave danger to us
  since these have ability to pass through the
  protective layer of ozone to cause direct effect
  on exposed skin.
• UV rays are associated with multiple effects
  including premature skin ageing, early
  development of cataract, and skin cancer.
  Therefore Ben Pure advises to try alternative
  methods of tanning.
• Tanning beds incorporate tanning bulbs and are
  designed for controlled exposure. The time of
  exposure is decided by considering skin type.

• Tanning bulbs are also associated with harmful
  UV A as well as UV B radiations.
• Safety and efficacy of sunless tanners
• This brings us to sunless tanning products.
  Growing number of people are choosing these to
  achieve desired tan without hazards of
  ultraviolet radiations. Sunless tan can is
  offered in different forms and applications
  methods.
• There are many salons or spray tanning booths
  that offer sunless tanning sprays to make your
  skin glow with tan.
• Self tanners are available as creams, lotions,
  gels, and sprays. These contain Dihydroxyacetone
  as principal ingredient. It is known as DHA and
  tans skin temporarily because it tans the dead
  cells of the skin.

• DHA has been in use for over three decades and
  does not get absorbed into the skin and is
  relatively nontoxic.
• Ben Pure concludes that sunless tanning products
  should be preferred over other tanning methods.
