Are Sunless Tanners Bad for Your Skin?

The Effects of Ultraviolet Rays on the Skin

It’s no secret that overexposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays is the leading culprit of all sorts of problems, including premature wrinkles, accelerated aging and dark spots. This list also includes an increased risk of melanoma; more than 9,500 people in the United States are diagnosed with melanoma each day, according to skincancer.org. In the past, getting a healthy-looking glow and that perfect tan required hours and hours of laying out in the sun. At one time, sunburns were the goal. However, today we know that having five or more sunburns in your lifetime doubles your risk of melanoma. Fake Bake offers an alternative way to achieve a beautiful tan safely with our sunless tanning products without subjecting your skin to the sun’s damaging rays and experiencing its negative effects
