About Swap Your Tan
This campaign encourages people to ditch the tanning beds and switch to self tanner instead.
Nowadays we are all aware of the dangers of prolonged tanning and the use of tanning beds so by switching to a tanning lotion you can drastically reduce the risks of developing skin cancers most commonly caused by Ultraviolet light exposure (UV).
Those getting involved in the campaign are showing off their favourite self tanners while helping to raise awareness for skin cancer.
If you're new to the world of fake tanning, make sure to do some research on which tanners on the market would be best for you and your skin type.
Don't forget to also wear your sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful sunrays!

Swap Your Tan
My favourite self tanner is the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Body Lotion. I'm super fair skinned and never seem to tan naturally (I burn and then go back to pale white!) so tend to lean more towards gradual tanners so that I can build up the tan in a more natural looking way. This one from Palmers gives off such a pretty and natural golden colour after one application, is super easy to apply and normally lasts around one week!
