Stop hitting the tanning beds.  If you don’t think they’re bad for you then read Glenna Kohl’s story.  Here are four alternatives to getting bronzed under artificial UV rays:

1.  Sunless Tanning Lotions

Bronzing lotions include a wide variety of skin shades, as well as prices. You will be able to find a color that suite your skin tones and allows you to have a natural glow.

Best places to get these: Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Stop & Shop

2.  Airbrushing or Spray Tanning

Spray tan’s benefits include a very quick application time of about 10 minutes as well as expert evenness. The tan will last about one week. The cost of getting a spray tan is less than buying a week’s worth of sessions at your local tanning salon.

3.  Towelettes

Like the sunless tanning lotions, tanning towels are a less messy way to get a great tan. You can purchase individually wrapped towelettes that you simple use and then throw out for each use.

Best places to get these: Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Stop & Shop

4.  Cosmetics

Bronzer is a great way to provide that sun kissed glow to your face. With several different options that range in colors and prices, you are sure to find a makeup that best suites you and allows you to have a natural tan that easily comes off at night

Popular brands: Bare Essentials, CoverGirl, Maybelline, Clinque, Rimmel
