As many of us already know, sun exposure is one of the leading causes of skin cancer. Which is part of the reason that more and more brands are developing amazing sunless tanning products that can give you that subtle just-left-Mexico look... without risking any unnecessary UV exposure.
Dang, we live in a convenient time. Anything we want is at our fingertips: we can order food, a ride, and... all the beauty products we could ever hope for, with just a few clicks (and/or taps). There's no need to go get a makeover, or drive all the way to the store to buy moisturizer, or get your photos professionally edited, or do research on which products are the best for your skin. People have done all this — and more — for us; we just have to sit back and reap the benefits.
