No one ever stopped them either. FDA ruling says that wee cannot promote UV as safe or advertise the benefits but there are no guidelines for spray.

Everyone started to embrace this new technology and in the meantime watched the industry take a major hit and it has never recovered from it. Now the sunscare coalition is in full force today. We don't need trunk Slammers® coming here and further bastardizing the industry with more propaganda about UV tanning, the very same industry that they ride on for profit.

Let's face it, directly spraying chemicals onto the skin is bad for you. Especially chemicals that contain mercury, lead, and arsenic. Just not a good thing.

UV is natural, DHA is not.
This is my whole point.....both means of obtaining a tanned effect are either as good or bad as each other..from the other persons perspective.

To market one against the other in a negative way is only damaging to us all and the industry within which we all drive our $$$$$.

Likewise a professional from one sector(or forum) coming onto another and ripping in is ...well erm...mmmmmm

What good is being done by folk ripping each other apart who sit on either side of the fence..the only winners will be the media who will tap into it and further bad mouth either UV or Sunless or both.

Lets face it..without either were all sprogged up and will need to get our tiny little arses down to Walmart and work on the check outs for enough money to feed our kids.

Sunless tanning.....UV tanning....waxing someones arse off or turning their hair a deep shade of purple....it realy doesnt matter but one things for sure our futures all depend on the punter wanting it and on it continuing
