Natural fake tan 'the safest way to glow'
If you yearn for that just-back-from-holiday glow, the British Skin Foundation (BSF) has advised that natural fake tan is the safest way to achieved an all-year round bronze.
The advice comes as new legislation was introduced in England and Wales, which will see sunbed operators that allow under-18s to use the equipment face fines of up to £20,000.
Bevis Man, spokesperson for the BSF, said: "The safest way to get a healthy glow, without the associated risks of sunbathing or using a sunbed, is by using fake tan, whether it's by going to get a spray tan or simply something that you buy and apply to the skin yourself."
He added that the organisation would "never recommend" putting yourself at the risk of overexposure to harmful UV rays in the attempt to get a tan.
Last week, Cancer Research UK launched its 2011 SunSmart campaign and reealed that two Brits under the age of 35 are diagnosed with the most serious form of skin cancer each day.
