Healthy Ways to Achieve a Summer Glow Without Sunbeds
As the weather warms up and summer approaches, many may consider sunbed sessions to get a tan. However, it’s important to note the risks associated with sunbeds and their link to skin cancer.
Fake Tan as a Safer Alternative
Instead of sunbeds, consider using fake tan products as a safer alternative to achieve a healthy glow. GP Dr. Nazreen Morley recommends affordable false tans from clinics or home tanning products for a natural-looking tan without the risks of UV exposure.
- Choose spray tans or lotions for a bronzed look
- Look for products with key ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, Vitamin E, and SPF
- Opt for fragrance-free and oil-free formulas for sensitive skin
Tips for Application
To achieve an even tan, exfoliate and moisturize before applying fake tan. Gradually build up the tan to avoid streaks and ensure even blending across the face and neck.
Makeup Tricks for a Healthy Glow
If you prefer makeup over self-tanning products, consider using tinted moisturizer, glow stick highlighter, or illuminating primer to achieve a radiant complexion without sunbeds.
- Tinted moisturizer hydrates and evens out skin tone
- Glow stick highlighter provides a radiant finish
- Illuminate primer brightens the face for a dewy glow
