Are Sunless Tanners Safe?

Hi! Now that summer is nearly (yay!) here, I use a sunless tanner all the time. Not sure if I should say the name but it's well known and is a daily moisturiser you use that develops into a light tan after a few days and it works really well and looks very natural.

I use it every other day to maintain a tan, since I don't want to risk a natural tan yet refuse to expose my lilly white skin to the world!

I know there is no such thing as a 'healthy tan' but we all know it looks great. I love this sunless tanner and would like to use it year round.

I still wear sunblock, obviously.

When it comes to the sexes, a heart attack is a heart attack, right? The short answer is no. The differences between men and women are not just the obvious ones. They can be as subtle as how they feel in the weeks prior to having a heart attack. The distinctions can also been seen in how women are treated in the emergency room. It is only in the last 50 years that we have seen women treated for heart failure and even more recently that we have seen women included in studies of heart disease. In essence, what is known about women and heart failure is a study in progress.
