Vanity is a woman's weakness since time immemorial. Various elements were concocted and applied on skin, either helping it or making it worse. The quest for better products never stopped. Sun Labs, a family owned company, is in this pursuit since 1983. Safe and natural, effective and convenient solution to beauty, these are the qualities that make this brand the finest in the market.

To date, it has come up with many successful solutions to skin problems including how to get a quick and sunless tan. Getting the much coveted darker and even skin tone has never been as easy as applying its formula. Sun tan can even be achieved without the sun, thanks to its amazing technology.

To be under the sun may be fun, but it can also be damaging to the skin creating freckles, age spots, red rough patches, spider veins, wrinkles and makes it look loose, leathery and super dry. UV light impairs the ability of the skin to self heal, breaks the collagen and stops its production. This important protein is what gives strength and bulk to cells. With the help of another protein, keratin, it gives flexibility and resilience to the body's wrapping. The protein Elastin is also affected, compromising tissue elasticity.

Another effect would be aging. Although it is a natural process and everyone is not exempted to it, nature and nurture both play a part to make it happen. Because nature is dictated by genetic make-up, nurture is the only thing that can be manipulated. Nurture would either help it or delays it. Therefore, it is wise to be protected and to know what skin care products are beneficial and those that are harmful.

The damaging sun-exposure not only ages but also causes the dreaded big C. Skin cancer is common among light-skinned persons. It is a condition with uncontrolled and abnormal cell growth. Symptoms vary but the most common are ulcer that does not seem to heal, patch or discoloration or mole that is deforming.

For a long time, light skin tone symbolizes aristocracy until the end of Victorian Era. It was in 1920 that the famous French fashion designer Coco Chanel got a sun burn travelling in some parts of France, who then got positive feedback for sporting the new tanned look. Meanwhile, a promising French singer who has caramel skin tone, by the name of Josephine Baker, soared to popularity. Her healthy dark tone was well appreciated and getting sun tan has become the new fad.

Decades later, sun bathing became a fad. Bikini swimsuits started to be used in the 1940's and baby oil was applied to facilitate faster darkening of tones. It is interesting to note that before 1920, darker tones were looked down as a farmer's or worker's color, as an effect of frequent outdoor exposure. It was the height of Victorian Era that the elite were predominantly light skinned as compared with the working class.

Now, professional tanning salon and Hollywood celebrities are conveniently using many products including the favorite tinted self-tanners from this company. There are other popular products like the handheld semi-professional sunless tanning equipment, and roll-on self tanners loved by many.
