Do TanTowels expire?

I have a Tantowel (self-tan towelette) from a couple years ago and I was just wondering if it's still okay to use? I know some tanning products expire and I don't have the box anymore to see if this one does, but it doesn't say anywhere on its packet. The website's supposed to be www.tantowel.com, but it's under construction right now.

Thanks!

yes most all beauty products expire and have a teeny tiny black dottty print that says the date but sinceu dont have the box i wouldnt use it, is it dry? if its dont use it. the worst it can do is u have an allergic reaction but i doubt it will hurt u it might just not work. try it on a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of ur skin 1st and wait a day. hope i hlpd :]

People love to tan for a variety of reasons. Some love the feeling of being out in the sun. Some want to look better or prepare their skin for an upcoming beach vacation. Some just don't like feeling "pale" so they tan in the summer or all year round to maintain a sun-kissed look. Tanning can also help hide or minimize the appearance of imperfections. For the most part we tan because we want to look better. But is it worth it?

Negative Effects Of Tanning

With the recent news reports calling tanning beds and lamps carcinogenic more people are questioning their use. We all know that too much exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer, melanoma to be specific. If this runs in your family it's best to use caution when in the sun or using tanning systems. Unfortunately melanoma can be a fast-spreading form of cancer.

The thing that is somewhat ironic is that most people tan for looks. They want that summer glow to help them look and feel better. We seem to perceive this as a healthy look. But when people have too much exposure to UV rays over their lifetime it can cause some unsightly skin damage including sun spots, more moles, wrinkles and leathery-looking skin. For those who have had these questionable-looking moles removed it also causes scarring. So the long term effects can not only be detrimental to your health, but they can also degrade your looks. Funny how that works.

Positive Effects Of The Sun

But it isn't necessary to completely avoid the sun. A little bit of sun is actually good for us. By little bit I mean about ten to fifteen minutes a day. This amount of time is enough to give us the vitamin D we need for the systems in our bodies to function better.

People who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) -- a form of depression thought to be triggered by lack of outdoor light -- benefit from sunlight and some even turn to light therapy for help. Light therapy works my mimicking outdoor light which can cause a biochemical change in the brain. But this is something that needs to be discussed with your doctor.

Sunless Tanning

But if you're looking for that summer glow you probably won't get the results you want from the limited amount of time in the sun that's deemed safe. Luckily there are lots of sunless tanning alternatives. As the demand for these grows the sunless tanning products keep getting better.

For a professional, salon look you may want to look into airbrush tanning. There are a variety of tanning and beauty salons that offer this service. But if you're a do-it-yourself kind of person you can find a great variety of tanning spray, lotions and even towelettes. You can use these on your full body or just on specific parts, legs, arms etc.

We all like to look good in the moment, but remember the long term effects of tanning via the sun or a tanning bed. If you want to retain that healthy look and keep your healthy skin you may want to consider some of the sunless tanning alternatives.

Learn the best way to get a natural looking tan using sunless tanning spray and other sunless tanning options like airbrush tanning.
