Sunless tanning refers to methods used to achieve a tanned appearance without exposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This can be accomplished through products like self-tanning lotions, sprays, or mousses, which contain active ingredients that react with the skin's outer layer to create a bronzed look. These products are available in various shades and can be applied at home or in professional salons. Another popular option for sunless tanning is spray tanning, where a fine mist of tanning solution is applied to the skin. This method provides an even tan and can be customized to suit individual preferences. Sunless tanning is considered safer than traditional tanning methods, as it reduces the risk of skin damage and skin cancer associated with prolonged sun exposure.
