It has been proven that overexposure can cause awful health implications, such as premature wrinkles, dark spots, and cancer. As recent as 2014, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a formal warning about the dangers of sun tanning. This is because there has been nearly a 200% increase in fatal melanoma cases since 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors, scientists, and of course the Surgeon General, have all done an excellent job warning society of these dangers, which is why self-tanning has become such as widely sought-after alternative to tanning under the sun. In fact, it is projected that the self-tanning industry will hit 1 billion dollars by next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Continue reading to learn just how safe self-tanning alternatives are and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Self Tanning Products Indianapolis Indiana 317-257-8262\" class=\"wp-image-792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Self-Tanning-Products-Indianapolis-Indiana.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Self Tanning Products Indianapolis Indiana 317-257-8262<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Self-Tanning Products Versus Spray Tanning<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of self-tanning; you can opt for air brush spray tanning services or simply use a store-bought self-tanning lotion to apply yourself. But regardless of which version you choose, you are in safe and secure hands. And here\u2019s a few reasons why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main ingredient in all self-tanning products, including spray tanning, is called <em>DHA <\/em>(dihydroxyacetone). And DHA has been approved for external use by the FDA since 1973! It is a chemical derived from glycerin that reacts with the amino acids in dead skin cells, causing them to change to the indicative \u201cbrown\u201d color we call a tan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since DHA was approved by the Federal Drug Administration, there have been very few complaints or issues in regard to self-tanners. This can only mean that consumers have been using these products for several decades without any medical or negative health implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-tanning products are actually recommended by the leading skin care organization in the world, the America Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Over 17,000 real-life physicians within the the America Academy of Dermatology suggest using self-tanners as a safe alternative to sunbathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the Mayo Clinic, one of the most highly-respected medical organizations in the world, recommends the use of self-tanners as a safer alternative to sun tanning. Additional organizations within the industry that suggest the use of self-tanning products includes Skin Cancer Foundation and the American Medical Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you looking for a safe and luxurious way to tan indoors in Indianapolis?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Broad Ripple Tans<\/a> at 317-257-8262 to learn about our amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/spray-tanning.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spray tanning<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/tanning-beds.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tanning bed deals<\/a> we are offering this year!
