Sun Laboratories are still delivering the finest American formulated tanning sprays

The sun is dangerous. We all know it is fashionable to have a good dark tan. In order to really achieve that one needs to expose one's body to direct sunlight for a number of hours. Now that is all very well but in order not to get sunburned and turn red or puce colored, which is really painful one has to smear a high number Sun Protection Factor (SPF) suntan lotion all over the exposed parts of the body.

The more one is exposed to the sun the more one can reduce the SPF factor of the lotion at the risk of the skin becoming dried out, leathery and full of wrinkles. In fact if one observes people who are constantly exposed to the sun's rays as part of their everyday activity, farmers, fishermen and lifeguards for example, one will see that their skins look leathery and tough and they start looking a great deal older than their years. Japanese farmers and fisher folk wear bonnets and long sleeves to avoid sunburn at all costs.

The other dangers are far more insidious. Getting actually sunburned can scar, The surface skin will peel off and look unsightly while it is doing so and there is little relief for the pain and discomfort (although that is temporary. Then there is the danger of melanomas. Malignant melanoma is a sure fire and rapid killer and one should at all costs see to it that any sunspots are attended to as soon as possible and that one should NEVER expose oneself to direct sunlight without protection for any length of time at all.

Sun Laboratories, in Chatsworth California took this into account when they started formulating skin sprays and smear on lotions which give the skin a natural tanned appearance without having to lie in the sun for age. These are now famous throughout the United Staes and are also selling well abroad.

Imagine going to the beach or to a hotel pool already sporting a gorgeous golden tan. One now has a head start on the others and will be the envy of many. In addition the spray on tan or the tan which is obtained using a smear on mitt enters the skin and provides a natural sun protection barrier so the sun tan lotions one needs to apply are considerably lower than someone who has just arrived on tanning scene.

Another big advantage is that a self tanning spray will not peel off and look unsightly. Sunlabs provides a number of lotions that can be applied to extend the life of the tan and stop it becoming blotchy or fading away.

Sun Laboratories obviously supplies most of the professional beauty salons and tanning booths as an alternative to the sunbeds. But they are also very good at providing a large range of self tanning products that enable one to obtain a beautiful natural tan overnight in your own home without having to lie in the dangerous harsh sun.
