Sunless tanning refers to the process of acquiring a
tan by artificial methods. It is also popularly known as self-tanning,
UV-free tanning, fake tan, canned tan or fake 'n bake.
As these
terms themselves suggest that a sunless tan is an artificial way of
getting a tan. Lotions, sprays, gels and mousses are used for the
purpose of getting tanned in the convenience of home.
And then there are professional facilities like spas, gyms,
salons and booths which use equipments like showers, tanning beds and
alike, all in an effort to give you a tan.
The tan given by these
artificial products is temporary and the effect wears off after a few
days when the dead skin cells are sloughed off. It can even be removed
simply with soap and water.
A number of products are available in
the market to give the much-in-demand tan. In fact, products formulated
to be ingested like pills and hormones, have also been developed. This
speaks volumes about the fact that people can go to any lengths just to
acquire a tan.
