A cross-sectional study examining the correlation between sunless tanning product use and tanning beliefs and behaviors.


Abstract

The desire for tanned skin remains strong despite growing awareness of the dangers of UV radiation exposure.

In some women, sunless tanning product use is associated with decreased UV radiation tanning frequency, especially in women who use them repeatedly.

Improvements in the appearance of sunless tanning product tans may allow wider acceptance by the public and further decreases in UV radiation tanning practices.
