Six Benefits of Sunless Tanners

Think a gorgeous, glowing tan is the only benefit of natural self-tanners? Think again. While all self-tanner kits aren’t created equal, the best sunless tanners offer a multitude of advantages in addition to natural-looking, sun-kissed skin.

Here, we’ll take a closer look at six reasons to try a sunless self-tanner as opposed to laying out – which comes with skin risks and other complications from UV exposure.

A Gorgeous, Natural-Looking Glowing Tan

Of course, a glowy, natural-looking tan is the first thing you’ll want in any sunless tanner. If you love how you look and feel with a tan, self-tanners deliver this same effect with none of the downsides associated with baking in the sun. Contrary to common misconception, tanning beds aren’t any better. In fact, they offer the same (if not, worse) exposure to harmful UV rays.

Plus, devotees of sunbathing know how frustrating it is to plan on soaking in some rays only to have the weather forecast interfere. With sunless tanners, the color you crave is always within reach. Not to mention natural self-tanners are cheaper than tanning beds and spray tanning!

Skin Protection, Health and Nourishment

While we all need some sun exposure to get a healthy dose of vitamin D, overexposure comes with a host of undesirable consequences. In a phenomenon known as photoaging, sunbathing can prematurely (and permanently) damage your skin’s structure and accelerate chronological aging. This not only increases your risk of skin cancer but also leads to age spots, wrinkling, decreased elasticity, texture changes, broken capillaries and redness or blotchiness.

In addition to keeping the effects of photoaging at bay, the Neora sunless tanner (our 3-in-1 Self-Tanning + Sculpting Foam) is also loaded with other skin-nourishing ingredients. This ultra-hydrating, super clean formula is made with eco-certified vegan DHA and contains additional antioxidants and amino acids that replenish skin and support the production of collagen, elastin and keratin – all of which play essential roles in enhancing skin health.

If you’ve ever asked yourself the question: are self-tanners safe? The answer is a resounding “yes” with Neora!

Enhancing and Perfecting Coverage

While all skin is beautiful skin, we could all use a little self-care every now and again. Sunless tanners are our secret weapon against skin imperfections like hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, acne scars, stretch marks, varicose veins and other blemishes.

The equivalent of foundation for your skin, self-tanners cover these imperfections to make your complexion flawless – with no tan lines, either! Unlike other beauty products like foundation, BB and CC creams, sunless body and face tanners are also serious time savers since they don’t need to be applied and removed daily.

Of course, if you’re looking to deepen your tan, additional applications are necessary, but even then it couldn’t be easier with a lightweight foam.

Effortless and Even Applications

Spending hours laying out in the summer sun isn’t just bad for your skin; it’s also time-consuming. One of the most exciting things about self-tanning products is that they develop naturally after you apply them, while you go about your everyday activities.

While cheap or chemical-laden sunless tanners may have a noxious odor while leaving telltale streaks or giving your skin that orange tint, Neora’s sunless tanner for face and body has been meticulously formulated to go on easily and evenly with no stickiness or transfer. The result? A streak-free glow. Plus, its non-chemical formulation is also delightfully stink-free.

Sunless tanners also easily let you control the “level” of darkness. Curious about how to apply self-tanner to get the just-right shade? If you’re going for a deeper, fresh-from-the-islands aesthetic, apply daily until you reach a medium or dark glow. Looking for a sunless tanner for fair skin to give you just a subtle hint of color? After you reach your desired light tan, you can switch to a maintenance regimen.

Contouring and Toning

There’s a reason Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” lyrics talk about being “toned, tan, fit and ready.” All of these things go together! Not only can sunless tanning products make your skin look more taut and toned while also reducing the appearance of cellulite, but you can also use them for contouring and shaping. By strategically applying self-tanner, you can create the illusion of more defined muscles, a slimmer waistline, or even enhanced cleavage. This technique, often called “tantour,” has become increasingly popular as a safer alternative to sun exposure. Whether you’re preparing for a beach day or a special event, sunless tanning can help you achieve that coveted sculpted appearance, complementing your fitness efforts.

A Winter Glow Confidence Boost

When you look your best, you feel your best, even during the colder months. Sunless tanners offer a perfect solution for those seeking a sun-kissed glow during winter, especially for holiday parties and festive gatherings. They don’t just work from the outside in to give you toned and flawless skin; they also work from the inside out by providing a serious confidence boost. As the days grow shorter and darker, a touch of color can brighten not only your appearance but also your mood. Whether you’re attending office celebrations, family reunions, or New Year’s Eve bashes, a subtle tan can help you feel more radiant and self-assured. Is there anything more beautiful than feeling confident in your skin, even when it’s freezing outside?
