Sun Protection 101

The most recent breaking news, just in time for summer in the sun, is that we have a whole generation that have developed a vitamin D deficiency. The lack of vitamin D can cause bending and breaking of bones.
Why is condition being reported by the medical professionals in an alarming rate?
The reason is that, as a society, we have fixed one problem by the use of sun screen protection when outdoors and created another health issue by its protection. The application of sunscreen in our tanning lotions have protected us from the harmful rays of the sun and the reported rate of skin cancer have been on the decline. However, we have depleted our vitamin D intake. We get most of our Vitamin D from the sun.

Pick your poison and hope for the best:
  • Use sun screen protection from the suns harmful rays?
  • Continue enjoying summer in the sun without protection?
Do you want to always look your very best and maintain that golden tan without taking a risk of developing skin cancer or a vitamin D deficiency?

My wife and I have tested Self Tanning Treatments with or without sun protection by Clarins of Paris:
  • SELF TANNING TREATMENTS WITHOUT SUN PROTECTION
  1. Sheer Bronze Self Tanning Hydrating Gel For Face
  2. Self Tanning Instant Gel
  3. Sheer Bronze Tinted Self Tanning For Legs
  • SELF TANNING TREATMENTS WITH SUN PROTECTION
  1. Tinted Self Tanning Face Cream Very High Protection SPF15
  2. Self Tanning Milk SPF6
We started to use the Self Tanning Instant Gel in February, after two hours of the initial application we noticed the tone of our skin change to a golden healthy glow. I followed the instructions, applied an even coat, rubbed it into my skin, avoided any contact with my eyebrows and hairline as directed. I washed my hands immediately after the treatment, if you don't your palms will be discolored, I made this mistake once. My wife used it on her legs and face, she said it is not like other products she used, no streaks and it does not look yellow or orange. As an added factor Clarins natural ingredients also moisturizes your skin. It smells good, not that burnt smell that other self tanning products emit.
