Spring isn’t here just yet, but you may already be breaking out your summer makeup collection and hoping for sunnier days. Many people look forward to warm weather and believe it gives them the chance to wear fun colors on their clothing and skin. Specifically, beach bodies can’t wait to hit the sand and catch some rays. However, it’s no secret that the sun can do an ample amount of damage to your skin.

Sure, you’ll look stunning with a little bit of color in your skin, but is it worth raising your risk of cancer? That being said, sunless tans are becoming a more popular alternative to baking yourself under the sun. As the Mayo Clinic states, sunless tanning products are effective and safe as long as they’re used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Additionally, they give users some advantages over traditional tanning. Daily Glow claims that these products can be a viable way to achieve an even tan – no rolling or turning over under the sun! Furthermore, it’s more convenient to use this option if you live in a region that doesn’t get much sun. Just remember that you still need to use sunscreen to keep your skin protected after faux tanning!
