However lovely that tan may be, it is in natural terms no more than a sign that the body is protecting itself, by reacting, against damage to its genetic material. There is a safe alternative; smear a self tanner on. In the last few years the quality of these products has improved greatly. Nowadays, you really no longer have to walk around with a blotchy orange face. You get the best results if you use it in combination with an exfoliant (glycolic acid or salicylic acid based products). And don&#8217;t forget to wash your hands afterwards&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Regards Jetske.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Dr Jetske Ultee &#8211;<\/em>Research Physician Cosmetic Dermatology<em>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can read more about <a title=\"Is it a good idea to have a sun protection factor in your make-up products?\" href=\"\/blog\/is-it-a-good-idea-to-have-a-sun-protection-factor-in-your-make-up-products\">the protection factor in make-up products <\/a>and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-jetskeultee.com\/blog\/protect-yourself-in-the-sun-better-application\"> the effects of applying insufficient sun cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone knows that burning is not good for your skin.
