We’re not talking the heavy, brown stuff that turns you orange, either. A nice tan doesn’t have to mean laying in the sun and letting it damage your skin. There are ways to get that “just got back from the Caribbean” look without leaving the house. While you’re at it, you may consider the fact that you can help prevent wrinkles as you age by using the right skin protection when you are young. Bonus!

“The naturally acquired ‘great tan’ is obtained at a price, i.e., premature aging, suppressed immune function of the skin (which is at least temporary), and an increased risk of skin cancer. Such a tan is not only not healthy, but passé and obsolete.” - Daniel E. Gormley, M.D. (source DermDigest.com)

There are a lot of self-tanning products out on the market these days but the problem with many of these is that they are more “bronzing agents” than true self-tanners. Meaning, they come out of a tube brown and dye the skin with a color that is darker than the natural skin tone. Another problem with such products is that they don’t help to prevent the damage that the sun does in the first place. A good self-tanner enhances the natural color of the skin so you get a light, natural looking tan.

California North, a company whose product line was developed for boaters and athletes, created a self tanner that breaks the mold of traditional self tanning products. It comes out of the tube “white” - not orange or brown. It doesn’t smell like chemicals. It has a built in SPF 7 sunscreen and contains skin conditioners that actually improve your skin every time you use it.

Try using Titanium Self Tanner for yourself and see what a safe tan looks like. We think you will be pleasantly impressed. Using an exfoliating scrub before applying this product will yield the best results.
