There are plenty of safe ways to sport a sun-kissed glow this year. While sunless tanning products used to inspire visions of streaky skin and unnatural tones, today’s sunless tanning has become more natural, beautiful and easier to apply than ever before. When you consider the statistics that show more than a million people in the United States are diagnosed with some form of skin cancer every year, it is easy to see why sunless tanning has become such a booming industry. With the rise in demand for these products, manufacturers are now offering a variety of items that will appeal to just about everyone.

Check out the Spa

If you have the time and money to spend, you can head to the spa for your summer tan. Many spas now include a tanning machine that will offer a fine mist of a sunless tanning substance to cover your body for a complete bronzing. If this process sounds like a little more effort than you are willing to invest, you can buy a home kit that will allow you to airbrush your tan onto your skin from the comfort and privacy of your own bathroom. Many people swear buy this self tanning technique, since the results will give you a fairly even color without streaks.

If you prefer to get your sunless tan the old-fashioned way, there is a plethora of lotions, gels and mousses for you to try. One of the newest sunless tanning products on the market this year is tanning foam, which will give you a smooth amount of color with an easy application. Although some people find that the new foams leave them feeling sticky, a dusting of baby powder after application should take care of the problem. There are a number of foams that you can choose from, so that you can find the best color for your skin.

Another really great product to check out for your summer tan is the lotion-based self tanners that will offer a gradual tan with frequent applications. These lotions are smoothed onto the skin just like your regular moisturizer, and they don’t dry your skin out the way some of the tanning gels can. With these types of self-tanning lotions, you can have control over just how much color you put on your skin, and how deep your summer tan will become. There are also lotions that have a smaller amount of the tanning agent in them, so that you get a subtle, sun-kissed look every time you use them.

Most of us want to cruise through the summer months with at least a little bit of color to brag about. With the many new sunless tanning products at your local drugstore today, you can get the summer glow you want without having to worry about skin cancer or premature aging of your skin.
