The temperature is rising and it’s about time to put away the sweaters and pull out the capris and shorts. But showing more skin can be a little nerve-wracking – especially when donning the still-pale skin that winter leaves behind.
There’s no question: having a deep, glowing tan can really boost self-confidence. A tan can minimise cellulite, stretch marks, and the appearance of veins. Having a tan has a slimming and illuminating effect.
Unfortunately, baking in the sun isn’t very good for us. Tanning is known to cause melanoma (skin cancer) as well as premature wrinkles. As a matter of fact, in terms of skin damage, a tan is just as harmful as a sun burn!
The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which are categorized into three types of harmful rays, two of which can damage our skin: long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB). To put it simply, UVA rays are the rays that cause aging and UVB rays are what can burn us. Clearly, it’s important to protect our skin from both!
UVC, the third type of rays, are absorbed by the ozone layer and don’t reach the Earth – which is fortunate since they are the most powerful UV rays!
Fortunately, it’s still possible to get a beautiful tan by using sunless options like spray tan solutions and lotions. Fresh Indulgence offers a variety of different products to help you achieve a healthy, sunless glow.
