Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The two most common types are basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer. They usually form on the head, face, neck, hands and arms. Another type of skin cancer, melanoma, is more dangerous but less common. Anyone can get skin cancer, but it is more common in people who: ----Spend a lot of time in the sun or have been sunburned ----Have light-colored skin, hair and eyes ----Have a family member with skin cancer You should have your doctor check any suspicious skin markings and any changes in the way your skin looks. Treatment is more likely to work well when cancer is found early. If not treated, some types of skin cancer cells can spread to other tissues and organs. --NIH: National Cancer Institute Add Comment Want to Undergo Sunless Tanning? -Make sure you protect yourself from life endangering products11/26/2010 Head on to internet now and look up sunless tanning options on Google or any other search engine. While you may find yourself in an ocean of options, do not be overwhelmed. Sit back, take a breath and check out the different alternatives available. Do you find any product that guarantees complete safety? Can you find any self tanner that doesn’t have harmful chemical ingredients in it? Having carried out such comprehensive research personally, I can safely claim that you’ll find none. That is because herbal tanning products aren’t produced by any of the big wig companies that are more interested in earning sizeable margins rather than worrying about harmful side effects like skin cancer, skin wrinkling etc. that are caused by these so-called branded products. Most of the over-the-shelf sunless tanning options like spray tan, self tanner, tanning spray etc. comprise of chemicals, preservatives, artificial colors, synthetic components and easily pass as organic or natural products by FDA/USDA in spite of consisting harmful ingredients. This is because FDA and USDA pass any product as organic or natural as long as it consists of 70% natural ingredients, disregarding completely the other 30%. Even in case of tanning beds, it has been found that their consistent use can lead to skin cancer, skin wrinkles etc. Studies carried out on young adults in United States are a testimony to this fact. Why opt for such sunless tanning products then? Times have changed now. The information revolution in the last decade has led to a significant increase in awareness levels of consumers and they can no longer be easily fooled by big companies. Why should you then choose to stay twenty years behind? You must not fall prey to that ‘so called’ best self tanner lotion that consists of DHA –Dihydroxyacetone or other harmful ingredients. DHA is not ‘just’ a sugar like so many people like to state; it also includes some other not so friendly components. Rather switch to what people everywhere are switching to now - sunless tanning with herbal products that contain 100% organic ingredients. It’s called ‘100% Herbal Instant Tan’, and can be applied just like any other self tanning lotion; minus the harmful side effects, orange streaking or bad odor. So, make an informed choice now! Don’t give in to false commercials run by billion dollar companies. Opt for what is natural and consists of nothing more than water, herbs and juices but gives the same effect and look. Why harm yourself with something when you can achieve equal or better results with something natural. We have done due diligence for you and have uncovered the best self tanning lotion that is made from all natural ingredients. Check out this web site now to discover more. We've all heard the catch-cry that there's no such thing as a safe tan. Though it's hard to believe, the tanned look that your skin gets after being out in the sun or visiting the solarium is the result of your sun desperately trying to protect itself from UV damage. So while your tan might look great now, soon enough the damage will start to become apparent through wrinkles, discoloration and even, in some cases, skin cancer. In order to reproduce the healthy appearance of a tan without the associated UV dangers, many people have turned to self tanning lotions and spray tans instead. But just how healthy is your fake tan product? While DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), the active ingredient found in most tanning lotions, has been FDA approved--although we should note only for some very limited uses—bear in mind that the myriad other ingredients included in your self tanner may not be. In addition, some one-time FDA-approved chemicals used in tanning sprays have since had their approval withdrawn due to the potential health risks that they pose and do notice that the term acetone which is a hazardous ingredient is used at the end of the word DHA above and is not found in 100% Herbal Instant Tan- it stands alone from others in this way. (look up acetone's composition info. by clicking on the link and you'll be surprised when you scroll down the page. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's marketed as just a sugar by the FDA which is safe; you must look at all the components which make up the whole ingredient to know the truth. Knowledge is power!). So if you're concerned about your skin and want that tanned look without the risk of UV damage or the side effects of harsh chemicals, what are your options? Clearly, a natural sunless tanning product such as 100% Herbal Instant Tan is the best self tanning choice. Containing only natural, herbal ingredients that have been used for many years in Eastern cultures, 100% Herbal Instant Tan is the safe sunless tanning choice for those who want an easily achieved, natural-looking tan, risk-free. | ArchivesFebruary 2012 CategoriesAll |
