People love sporting a healthy tan! By the way, how did these two terms ever get put together? Healthy and tan. That’s kind of like saying nutritious Happy Meal. It’s an enigma for sure. However, people tend to think that a tan appears healthier than their real skin tone. Therefore products such as discount tanning lotions will continually be in demand. These days people even want to get their tan on year round. Heaven forbid they look pale during the winter months. Luckily for all you sun bunnies out there, this is a possibility. Let the local tanning salons be your savior.

You may have thought it was gone with the 1980s, but let me reassure you, discount tanning lotions are in full effect. Then again, so are the 80s it seems. Just take a gander at some of the fashion trends kids are adopting now. It’s like “Duran Duran” all over again. Anyway, last summer I noticed my teenage daughter was lathering up with some sort of questionable tanning oil. I promptly informed her why those were a major no-no. The oil actually draws the UV rays into your skin. This way you become like a magnet for the sun’s powerful rays. If you’re looking to get roasted, this is definitely the way to do it. She responded with “That’s awesome!” Apparently it’s exactly what she wanted. And even though I advised strongly against it, like an 18 year old, she went ahead and did it anyway. Go figure! Needless to say she received a pretty heavy tan along with plenty of peeling that followed. no one ever cares for that part of the tanning process. So the moral of the story is; steer clear of all discount tanning lotions. They’re sold cheap for a reason.

Let’s examine the flip side. Imagine if there was an alternative to spending money on discount tanning lotions and laying out in the sun or a tanning bed on a regular basis. Hey wait; there totally is a second option. It’s commonly known as self-tanner. This is the safe way to get golden brown in this day and age. I highly suggest you look into it. Why damage your skin and risk getting cancer if you don’t have to?
