Tips On Sun Tanning In The Unnatural And Natural Way

By Haywood Hunter


Most people these days would like their skin to look healthy and tanned. For this reason, many go to the beach for sun tanning purposes, or spend some time alongside their pools. Although sun tanning has been done for many years, more recent information has showed that it could be damaging to the skin. Those who do venture out under the UV rays should be careful, and should follow a few sun tanning tips.

When you are getting ready to go out for a sun tanning session, you should prepare your skin. Clear off all make-up products and any other creams or perfumes you may be wearing. Replace them with a quality sunscreen that has a SPF factor that will protect your skin. You want to have a sun tanning session, not a sunburning session. People who are often allergic to creams can buy hypoallergenic sunscreens. It is also best to use waterproof sunscreens when swimming.

The time of day that you go out is important. The UV rays are at their most harmful during midday hours, from about twelve to three in the afternoon. After a while out in the sunshine, you should cover sensitive skin areas with clothing. Wear a hat as well so that your face is protected. Try to not go out the very next day again. Give your skin some time to react by skipping a day or two between beach outings.

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.

Many people have also tried using sunbeds as a way of getting a good tan. While there are ways to control the intensity of the rays from a sunbed, it has still been deemed as harmful. If you decide to use a sunbed anyway, use lamps with a low UVB, along with lotions that contain DHA and SPF. Do not use the bed for longer than ten to fifteen minutes at a time.

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.

Sun tanning to produce a good tan can take some time, but self-tan products offer quick results. They start to work in about three hours after their application. The user of the products will also not have to worry about streaking or the dreaded orange-look of fake tans, as products nowadays are more advanced. Self-tan lotions can cover your whole body, but sun tanning in the nude is often not possible.
