Everybody wants to share a beautiful bronzed, tanned and fit body. Nowadays, going to the gym goes hand in hand with dispatching a golden, healthy tan. But isn’t the tanning concept a little unhealthy from the start? Acquiring a dark tan may cause skin cancer, at least this is the warning you get from dermatologists. However, in the modern society, a white pale skin is a considered to be a fashion flaw and therefore many choose to risk their health over their social position and look. Some look for a long lasting tan that is carefully maintained for the course of the whole year. Other would require it just on a special event, like a weeding or prior to a vacation spent on the sea-side (after all, exposing to the sun rays with a wintry white skin may prove to be a misguided action). For random reasons, the need for a quick tan on special occasions is tremendously increasing and baring in mind the hazards of direct sun rays or using indoor tanning bed lamps, many are looking for safer alternative solutions to this. One of these options would be the usage of tanning spray.
However, it wasn’t like this in the past. For a great period of time, in the history, a white pale skin was a sign of aristocracy, meaning that you were enjoying a good job, not a dangerous, bad paid and outdoor working place. The person responsible for chancing this is, apparently, considered to be Coco Chanel, a famous French fashion designer. Looks like, she accidentally had too much sun exposure during her trip to Cannes on a yacht and turned out with a dark to brown tan. This caused an instant stir among the celebrities of that time. Basically, everyone, from movie stars to politicians wanted to copy her style and pose with a great tan. The rich immediately start nurturing their tan on sunny places, while the poor worked on their tan by lying in the sun rays for hours. The percent of skin cancer appearances was growing in alarming rhythm. It wasn’t until the 70s that suntan lotions appeared along the first tanning beds and spray booths. However, the misguided usage of tanning lamps continued to cause skin cancer and the FDA started looking more into this matter. Their conclusion was that the tanning beds were as hazardous as the natural sun rays, if not more damaging since people were using them on a high intensity for the whole year looking for long lasting and steady results.
