Q: Be Honest, Isn't TanSome just another "self–tanning" lotion?


A: Absolutely not! Conventional "self–tanning" lotions use high concentrations of tanning agents to provide a tan within 1 – 4 hours. In fact, most self–tanning lotions are now boasting of using even higher concentrations of tanning agents for an even faster tan, which only exacerbates the likelihood of streaking and orangey hues.


Since uniform coverage of any lotion is impossible, streaking and orangey hues are inevitable. Irrespective of claims to the contrary, achieving a uniform tan with any conventional "instant–tanning" lotion is almost impossible.


TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion is not an "instant–tanning" lotion to be used occasionally, but a premium body lotion with time–released tanning agents to be used daily. TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion, by itself, is a great lotion – – its ability to gradually give you a healthy, dark, and uniform tan is just one of its many great benefits.

Q: Why should I be concerned with my skin's health?


A: Tragically, you probably spend more time and money on your clothes than on your skin!! Your clothes are easily replaceable; your skin is not. It is what you were born with, and it is what encases your body for your entire life. Your skin not only protects you from your environment, but it literally holds your body together. It is what we project, and what others see. It is how others view us, for better or worse.


Your skin is your largest organ; yet, many of us treat it as disposable and easily replaced –– it is neither. Treat your skin well; it must last you a lifetime. Keep it youthful; stay out of the sun and lotion for life!! Find a premium body lotion that contains the ingredients in TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion (TanSome Ingredients), and use it everyday!

Q: Why should I use TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion?


A: Your skin's ability to produce natural oils is your body's defense mechanism in retaining its most abundant substance: water. These oils literally "seal" your skin, thus preventing excessive water loss! Without this oil barrier, your skin will dehydrate, and as you age, your skin will degrade, become thin, dry, wrinkled, inelastic, and easily torn. Essentially, your skin becomes "human–leather" unless liberally and frequently applied with lotion everyday.


Every time you perspire, bathe, swim, wear clothes, perfume, etc you remove natural oils from your skin. When you are young, your skin replenishes these lost oils quickly, but as you age, it cannot.


No magic pill will restore your skin's oils; only topically applied lotion will restore them! Visit any dermatologist and ask how to treat dry skin –– he/she will reply: "Use lotion, everyday." Remember, no pill will restore your skin's oils.


TanSome's Sunless Tanning Lotion's proprietary blend restores these lost oils, and supplies nourishment to your skin while very gradually achieving / maintaining a deep, dark bronze tan. TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion has a proprietary blend of antioxidants, tropical oils and butters, and vitamins that supplies nouishment to your skin while slowly achieving and maintaining a deep, dark, bronze tan. TanSome self tanning lotion is truly "health food for your skin!"

Q: Why shouldn't I get a real "sun–baked" tan?


A: Although you may think a real "sun–baked" tan "looks healthy," your tan is actually a result of sunlight overdose! Medically, the tanning process is your skin's self–defense mechanism attempting to protect itself from further damage by sunlight –– the darker your skin, the less the sun's rays can penetrate your skin, and therefore, the less harm it can do.


Research shows that 90% of wrinkling, sagging, and rough skin is not caused by aging, but by the accumulated exposure to the sun's rays. Over time, a real "sun–baked" tan will destroy your skin's collagen, resulting in a loss of elasticity and its ability to snap back after stretching. It will also degrade, thin, and wrinkle your skin, turning it into "leather."


The sun's rays permanently damage your skin, and the damage is irreversible. Eventually, a high level of accumulated exposure to sunlight will greatly increase your chance of developing skin cancer; and depending upon the type and progression of skin cancer, can be fatal (especially metastasized melanoma).


The answer to a youthful look is to stay out of the sun and use a nutrient–rich body lotion (like TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion) to lubricate and rehydrate your skin, restoring it to a soft and supple feel. If you want to stay looking younger, you must stay out of the sun and use a nutrient–rich body lotion (visit Sun Tanning Results and Wrinkles).


As a society, we willingly trade our long–term health for short–term beauty. According to all governmental, medical, and health agencies: "There is no such thing as a safe suntan.

Q: Does TanSome replace UV–light?


A: Yes and No. Some sunlight is necessary for your skin to generate nutrients (Vitamin D3, among others), but all reputable health experts agree that an overdose of sunlight suppresses your immune system, and increases your risk of cancer (just 20 minutes of mid–day sunlight will greatly diminish your body's immune system and deplete half of your body's Vitamin C). Ever wonder why just two hours of sun–bathing makes you very, very tired? Now you know!


Manufacturers of tanning beds and sun–tanning lotions (especially those that intensify a suntan) now promulgate misinformation and downright lies about the safety of their products. They claim that some magical ratio of UV–A to UV–B light will lessen their harmful effects! These profiteers have no shame in their quest for higher profits. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, find out for yourself (visit Skin Cancer from Sun and follow the links at the bottom of this page). Remember, the higher the accumulated exposure to sunlight, the more aged your skin becomes and the higher your risk of skin cancer.


Normally, 60 minutes of indirect sunlight every day is sufficient for nutrient generation and prevention of SAD (Seasonally Affective Disorder), a type of mental depression. TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion cannot replace the beneficial effects of sunlight; but it can give you a beautiful sunless tan without the risk of skin cancer.

Q: How do the tanning agents "tan" my skin?


A: The proprietary, time–released tanning agents in TanSome Sunless Tanning Lotion react with the keratin (protein) in your skin's "dead" cells, darkening them. It does not react with, nor will it darken your skin's "live" cells.


Remember, sun–tanning solely tans your "live" skin cells; sunless–tanning solely tans your "dead" skin cells. Sunless–tanning lotions cannot harm you; sun–tanning or sunbed–tanning can give you a host of skin problems, including skin cancer and death!
