Comparison Of Natural Sun Tanner And Artificial Products

By Haywood Hunter


The skin is the largest organ of the body. Its primary purpose is to protect the rest of the inner body organs from mechanical and chemical damage. However, it is also a symbol of beauty and makes people feel better about themselves. Therefore, people go to great lengths to enhance the way their skins look and protect them from any damaging factors. There has been an ongoing debated on whether people should use a sun tanner or a sunless tanning process.

The market is flooded with products from various sun tanner manufacturers that enable the skin to have the same effects as the sun would. One of the factors they capitalize on to sell their products and justify themselves to consumers is that the sun could have various harmful effects on their bodies. The main harmful elements from the sun are in form of UV rays. These have been suspected of causing cancer development for a long time.

Various manufacturers also claim that their products are based on natural ingredients and therefore do not have any harmful effects. Several brands are produced from pure animal products according to the labels stuck on them. There are also others based on plant extracts such as sunflower, lavender and others.

Despite the claims of different manufacturers, the common ingredient for all products is dihydroxyacetone. It works by causing reactions with the amino acids in the skin. This is how they are able to achieve their objectives within hours because of this reaction. However, research indicates that this technique is not as effective against sunburns as natural sun tanner is.

Information is necessary for people to be able to make informed decisions. Through research, scientists have been able to establish that the sun has several negative side effects on the skin. They are caused by long periods of exposure to the sun and vary from one individual to another. Among the common effects are sunburns and in extreme cases cancer. DHA has been found to be free of any harmful side effects and therefore products containing it can be trusted.

Many factors would lead people to prefer using artificial sun tanner products rather than the natural sunrays. The sun is only around at certain times of the year. An individual would have to wait for these times or travel to areas where the sun is available all year round. The tropics are a preference for many. The products also help to avoid side effects like increased rate of aging.

One is also able to avoid uneven tanning by using the booths. Typically, when tanning in the sun, one has to wear at least a bikini to avoid indecent exposure. Very few beaches around the world allow nudity. When wearing the bikini, it covers some parts of the body preventing even tanning. A booth however allows nude tanning since it is enclosed.

There many manufacturers from whom the consumers can acquire a sun tanner. Most convenience stores and beauty stores have stocks of products from various manufacturers. Online stores also provide another avenue through which individuals can acquire the products.
