Tips On Sun Tanning In The Unnatural And Natural Way

By Haywood Hunter


Looking good is at the top of most people's priority list, and this usually involves a nice-looking, golden-brown skin tone. Sun tanning has been used to produce tans for a long time, but it is also considered as dangerous. However, many people still like to go sun tanning on the sand, or next to the swimming pool. If you still like to go out into the sunlight for this purpose, there are a few sun tanning hints that you can follow.

Before heading to the beach, make sure that you are not wearing any make-up or perfumed body products, as these could enable the skin to burn. While getting ready to head out for a sun tanning session, be sure to apply a good sunscreen lotion with a low SPF to all parts of your body that will be exposed. Hypoallergenic skincare products are also available for those with sensitive skin. The sunscreen that you use before sun tanning should also be waterproof if you plan to spend time in the water.

Try to avoid being outdoors in direct sunlight during the hottest time of the day, which is between midday and three o'clock in the afternoon. The sun's UV rays are at their most intense at this time. When you have had some exposure, slip on a shirt and a hat, so that you don't end up with really red and sore skin. It is also wise not to tan every day, but to leave at least two days between each session. This gives your skin time to adapt and recover.

Anyone can also get a tan without the need to spend hours in the sunshine. Conventional sun tanning has almost become a thing of the past. Nowadays, there are self-tan products available that can be purchased from many outlets.

Sunbeds are also used. They are perhaps slightly better than sunlight, because their strength can be adjusted, but they use the same UV rays that cause damage. Those who do use sunbeds should always apply a suitable sunscreen, preferably one with the chemical DHA, and should not use the bed for more than 10 to 15 minutes per session. Lamps with low UVB create better tans as well.

For those who are impatient, there are self-tan lotions. They also come in a spray variety, which works very well. They have many benefits, but the most important is that they do not cause skin cancer or other skin diseases. They are also very easy to use, so everyone finds them to be convenient.

Only high quality Sun tanning products should be used, as they will produce the best results; often results that are even better than sun tanning. The product can be purchased by an individual and used at home, or someone can go to a salon and have it applied for them. If you are doing it yourself, remember to exfoliate your skin beforehand, and it also helps to use body lotions before the application. Evenly apply the product and allow it to dry.

Fake tans are so quick to apply, and they work within just a couple hours. They must be reapplied every six or seven days, but in general, they are less time consuming than sun tanning. The products are well formulated, so that they do not cause problems such as uneven coloring and an orange skin tone. With sun tanning, you may not get the results you want, but with self-tan lotions, you have the control.
