Achieving a sun-kissed, healthy glow is important to many people. Equally important, however, is avoiding harmful exposure to UVA and UVB rays.

The key is to select the right product. The market is filled with options, but interaction with the epidermis's outer layer are best. For sunless tanners that promote the theory that the under layer can be darkened should be avoided.

Lotions, creams, powders, and sprays are common forms of sunless tanners. Research has shown that lotions last longer, but sprays achieve better results. This is because those applying them can reach areas that are difficult for an individual. Sunless sprays also go on more evenly than those in other forms.

Proper preparation is also important prior to applying sunless products. Without exfoliating skin first, an uneven color may result. Equally important is limited contact with the hands as the palms will turn bronze if not washed frequently while using sunless products.

Therefore, it is important to apply products during a time when limited clothing and distractions are not a problem. With changes in this industry sunless tanning products have become easy to apply and convenient. Best of all, achieving that sun-kissed glow that is so coveted today is faster than ever.
