It has been said that the greatest amount of damage done by UV rays is that received before age 20. Research definitely indicates that over exposure to the sun's UV rays during childhood significantly increases the risk of developing skin cancer later in life.

The teen years see the most high risk sun exposure. Out of parent's watch, and insistence of sunscreen usage, teens are much more likely to get sunburns and sun damage. And this is not only happening at the beach and pool, but tanning salons too.

The carefree days of summer are here. But it can be difficult to feel confident in shorts and bathing suits when your skin is pale. An actual sun tan, which brings along health risks and premature aging, is not a suitable solution.

Lavera has the answer to your pale skin woes with New Self Tanning Lotion. Same great look and feel of the original, with a few added benefits.

Once summer hits so do the shorts, mini-dresses, and bathing suits. And it is always nice to boost your body confidence with a bit of summer glow.

Posted on in Sun & Tan Topics

The self tanning lotion utilizes a well known blend of tanning actives that has been proven to work effectively over many years. How do they achieve their purposes? Naturally derived DHA & Erythrulose chemically react with the amino acids on your skin to create a non-toxic brownish pigment called melanoidins, the tan effect. This has been a known affect since the 20's and proven safe of decades of use.
