What is The Ultimate Safest Way to Get a Tan?
by Louise Forrest
 
No tan caused by the sun is ever healthy. It may look good and most people may think that a nice tan is the sign of good health, but ultimately, it is not. Any suntan is caused by the burning of the skin and that is never a good thing. So, whilst it is understandable that a tan does often look good, it is not always recommended to get one from sunbathing. So how else can you achieve that fresh out the sun look and still be healthy? Simple – Fake it!
 
The Best kind of Tan is a False One!
If you are absolutely adamant that you still want a tan, then your best bet would be to use a fake one. Now when you think of fake tan, most people think orange streaks, uneven coverage and results which make you look like an orange. However, there are some good ones out there which can create the perfect suntanned look.
 
A good fake tan will make the arms and legs look longer and slimmer, it will even out the skin tone and it looks so good with vibrant colored clothes. There are so many reasons why having a tan is the best look to have, and luckily there are some products out there which will help you achieve that perfect, fresh sun kissed look. So let us see what your fake tan options are:
 
St Tropez – The Ultimate Fake Tan
Over the past couple of years a new kind of fake tan has been born and this is the gradual tan. These include products which aim to build up a natural looking tan over a short period of time. The best thing about them is that they are designed in tow different colors, one for dark skins and one for light skins. This makes it incredibly easy to buy a fake tan which best suits you.

Usually the results are immediate but you will not see a really noticeable difference for a few days. You do have to take some precautions whilst applying the lotions such as wash your hands after use, try not to go over the same area too often, and try and apply it as evenly as possible. You can still end up with orange patches if you are not careful so always take your time and remember that practice makes perfect!

The great thing about these products also is that they are not very expensive compare to other fake tan treatments. This has made them incredibly popular and they will no doubt only grow further in popularity in the years to come.

Salon Treatments
The best way to get a nice even tan is to get one applied at a professional salon. Whilst some people find it a little embarrassing, for others it is the perfect way to get the best looking tan possible. You do not have to worry about applying it properly and you are more than likely going to get nice, even results. The only trouble is, it is a little more expensive than other fake tan options.

Overall, fake tans are by far the best way to have a safe tan. Whilst sunbeds may be considered a good way to get a fake tan, they are just as dangerous as the suns rays and in some cases you can still get skin cancer from them. So, stick to the fake tan lotions and you should be fine!
