Sally Hansen’s Airbrush Legs spray for sale at Walgreens at a cheap price. The colors range from “Fairest Glow” to “Deep Glow”. Unlike tanning, lotions and sprays show instant results.

Tanning lotions for sale at Walgreens advertising an “instant sun kissed glow”. Lotions are not only a safer alternative but are also cheaper than tanning in a booth or getting a spray tan. “Lotions are the best choice for me because I can afford it and I can apply it whenever I feel like being tan. It lasts a few days but can be applied whenever you want,” says junior Christabelle Mulcahy.

With prom coming up many girls think they have to be tan because it is the social norm, but natural skin is beautiful and going tanning in a bed is not worth the risk. According to melanoma.org, As many as 90% of melanomas are estimated to be caused by ultraviolet (UV) exposure. This includes UV exposure from the sun and from artificial sources, such as tanning beds.
