As a mom it’s normal (if not obsessive) to worry about your kids’ skin when having fun in the sun.  Coating them in sunblock with the highest SPF is the usual routine that kids dread, but what about your skin? Do you take the same preventative measures to ensure you’re completely protected from those dangerous rays?

In today’s society, tanning beds are not only major faux pas, but a serious hotbed – quite literally – for skin cancer.  According to the American Academy of Dermatology, even if this type exposure occurred in years past, a person can still be at a great risk for several types of skin cancers.  Indoor tanning, in fact, is the leading cause of skin cancer today, which is the #2 killer of women in the United States.

What are my alternatives? you may be asking yourself.  Some think that spray tans are the only logical choice, but think about all those harmful chemicals, and not to mention the effects it can have once it has been absorbed into your skin.

Tanning lotions are truly the only way to go.  But don’t settle for a tanner that’s greasy, overpriced, full of toxins and that leaves your skin streaked or looking like a neon orange safety cone.  Don’t be that girl this summer.

Instead, get that gorgeous sun-kissed glow with Tan Physics True Color Sunless Tanner. 

Infused with hydrolyzed collagen, argan oil, organic aloe vera and coconut oil, this lotion not only creates a natural, sunless tan look, but it restores the youthfulness of skin while replenishing and hydrating it too.    

This dual-action product is specifically formulated to give a streak-free, odor-free and worry-free self-tanning experience with long lasting results. 

So this summer, spend less time in the sun and more time perfecting your full-body tan with a product that guarantees its formula to work on all skin types, tones and complexions.
