Most Americans believe that a "tan" (a brown skin color from exposure to the sun) is attractive, "perhaps" (maybe) because they "associate it with" (think about it in connect with) someone who has energy and spends time outdoors. In the past, people would "sunbathe" (spend time lying in the sun to change the color of one's skin) or go to "tanning salons" (businesses with special equipment that shines ultraviolet light on the body to simulate sunshine) to get a "sun-kissed look" (the appearance of someone who has spent time in the sun). But in recent years, people have become increasingly "aware" (with knowledge of something) of the damaging effects of the sun. So many people have begun to "turn to" (rely on) sunless tanning options.

Some sunless tanning options are creams, lotions, and other "cosmetics" (make-up and beauty products) that wash off. They can be applied to the skin to make it appear darker, but they last only until the skin is washed. "Tinted" (lightly colored) "moisturizers" (creams that help the skin be moist) and "bronzers" (powders and cream that add a brown or almost golden color to the skin) are popular products.

Other people want a "longer-term" (lasting longer) solution and prefer to get a "spray tan." They go into a tanning salon, remove their clothing, and is sprayed with a liquid that colors the skin temporarily. A typical spray tan lasts for a few weeks, depending on one's level of physical activity and "frequency" (how often one does something) of bathing.
