Information On Sun Tanning Naturally As Against Self-Tan Products

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.

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.

You are most likely to get a sunburn rather than a nice tan if you are out in the middle of the day. It is recommended to avoid the hours between twelve and three in the afternoon, as this is when the UV rays are at their strongest. During this time you could protect yourself with clothing and a hat. Work slowly on your tan as well. Give your body at least a day or two between time spent outdoors so that your skin can react accordingly.

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.

A tanned skin can also be achieved by using sunbeds. Be careful, however, as they can be just as damaging as the natural light that is so loved. You must use a sunscreen, because the beds also produce UV rays, and it is better to choose one with a low UVB. Short sessions are recommended.

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.

Instead of sun tanning, a self-tan spray is often recommended by dermatologists. The product can be applied at a salon, or it can be done at home. Clean your skin first and use a body lotion before the application. Then simply spray the Sun tanning product over the areas to be tanned, or rub in the product thoroughly.

Unlike sun tanning, self-tan products produce almost instant results. In just a few hours your lovely tan will start to appear. The improved products on the market today will also not produce an orange affect, and will not streak. It is quite difficult when sun tanning to get an even tone, but not with self-tan products.
