While sun exposure is essential for receiving vitamin D, elevating dopamine levels, and getting that tan that we all yearn for, it can also be dangerous for your skin, eyes, and immune system in large amounts. So, like all things in life, moderation is key. If limiting sun exposure for health, or even vanity (we don’t judge!), reasons seem best, one does not have to also sacrifice that summer color. These self-tanners have natural and skincare ingredients that are sure to guarantee that sun-kissed color, without the risks involved.
