It seems quite laughable to us now when we look back on the 1980s and remember how so many of us were coating ourselves in baby oil, cooking grease, and anything else we could baste ourselves with for sunbathing. We have a whole new perspective on the dangers associated with sun exposure these days. We now know that we must protect our skin, and the importance of choosing the best sunless tanner is not lost on us.

Skin tone certainly dictates to a great extent what choices one might make. When one already has a darker tone, they are more likely to go for creams, gels, and lotions rather than a tanning bed. For them, it is all about protecting and moisturizing, as well as keeping their skin tone even, rather than obtaining a particular color or complexion which they may already possess.

Anyone who spends a great deal of time outside, male or female, should consider tanning lotions and oils as a means of protecting their skin from the sun, as well as keeping it hydrated. This is important not only for the sun, but the wind can take a tole on the hydration of the skin as well. Chapped cheeks, lips, and hands often can be prevented with the proper suntan lotions, not to mention a UV-protecting lip balm.

Spray on solutions have become quite popular these days, with cosmetic foundation as well as tanning solutions. Some women keep to the cosmetic foundations, however, as the tanning solutions have a tendency to make their skin look orange and unnatural. To avoid this result, it is recommended that the skin be well exfoliated so that the tanning solution can be absorbed evenly.

Indoor tanning has become even more popular than gels, lotions, oils, or solutions. In fact, it is even more popular than laying out in the sun, as there seems to be a perspective that this form of tanning is less dangerous. This is not entirely true, however, and women need to know this.

Tanning beds do allow one to better control the length of time and concentration of exposure, so in that sense it can be more safe. That is, if they are not impulsive and seeking instant results by allowing themselves more than a 15-minute increment under the lights. Tanning beds now come with set limits, but some older tanning beds will still allow you to fall asleep for an unlimited span of time, and this can kill you.

Newer beds also come with an alarm, or at least a loud bell ring when the fifteen minutes are up. This bell can be turned off, but many of the beds cannot be set to stay on for longer than 15 or 30 minutes at a time. Even so, businesses which still allow a tanning bed on site are usually very watchful of how long their client has been inside the tanning room.

One cannot talk about tanning lotions and bronzers without pointing out the coconut oil bronzers on the market. Coconut oil is all the rage, and is being touted as a miracle for aging, dry, or damaged skin. By utilizing a coconut oil bronzer, one is able to achieve the superior degree of moisture as well as protect their skin from the damaging rays of the sun.
