Summer is here but what if you don’t want to expose your body to the harmful rays of the sun? There are still plenty of people who are happy to shun years of health advice about skin cancer risks and use sunbeds or frequent holidays to maintain a tan. But the health concerns have meant high-factor sun cream is selling better than ever and a tan is as likely to come out of a bottle than from exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Below are the best tanning solutions, tried and tested with impeccable results.
Professional Spray Tan: It’s a fast and relatively inexpensive solution, safe for the skin which is done in specialized beauty salons and tanning centres. Spray tan is done with an airbrush and results can be seen 8-10 hours after spraying. It lasts 7-10 days and fades evenly if you moisturize it properly!
Self-Tan: There are quite a few of products divided into different categories which we can use at home, all based on the result we want to achieve. We have self-tanning products that have an effect within a few hours depending after application.
