Although some people believe that spending some time at the tanning salon before a beach holiday can protect them from getting sunburned, in reality, all tans represent skin damage. A healthier alternative, especially if you want some subtle color over the winter months, is to try moisturizing products that provide sunless tans. Some sunless tanning moisturizers even come in different tones, so you can select the shade and customize the level of color that you want to achieve.
