A recent study linking tanning beds to melanoma that also moved the use of these systems from possibly carcinogenic to definitely carcinogenic may have some people thinking twice about their continual use of these beds. Most people like to have that look of a "healthy glow" that comes from spending time in the sun, but is it worth the potential risk?

Luckily you don't absolutely need the sun or tanning beds to achieve a sun kissed look. Because of the interest in keeping a tanned appearance companies have greatly improved things like sunless tanning spray and lotion. With these products it's easy to get the look you want without potential side effects. These sprays can be used on any part of the body, either the whole body or selected parts. With a little practice and use you can find the just the right amount to get the look you want without having to spend time sitting in the sun or in a tanning bed.
