The Spray on Suntan is becoming the popular and safe alternative to either lying out in the suns harmful rays, or to using solariums. Both of these increase the risk of skin cancer which is on the rise. There are over 69,000 new people diagnosed with skin cancer every year in the UK.

Australians have been very aware of the dangers of sunbathing, and fake tanning has increased dramatically down under in recent years. This is due to the information by their government health department and the hard hitting TV advertisements supplied to the Australian people on the dangers of sun burn, and skin cancer.

However, with the dangers given, most of us still want a healthy looking glow, to make us look and feel good. Tanning products can now provide this look. It is a convenient way to achieve a tan, without the risk of sun burn which can cause cancer and premature ageing.

The most effective tanning solutions include the product dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

This product is derived from sugar which produces the golden tan that can last for approximately 7 days.
