Why You Should Use Sun Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Magazines and TV shows are full of beautiful people with lovely tanned skin. Although they may have plenty of help, most people desire to look the same. Conventional sun tanning methods are one way to get a tan. People go to the beach, or spend hours beside their pools. Sun tanning, though, can be harmful, therefore you may need some sun tanning advice.

Your skin will burn more easily if you are wearing cosmetics or other body perfumes and lotions, therefore, rather take them off. Even if you are planning on sun tanning your body, use a sunscreen with an adequate SPF. You don't want a sunburn. If your skin reacts easily to these types of products, try a hypoallergenic sunscreen. A waterproof sun tanning lotion is ideal if you like to swim, or play sports in the water.

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.

Sun tanning is not ideal for everyone. It is also a well know fact that the UV rays that create your tan can damage your skin. Nowadays, there are some good lotions that will give you a fake tan, but a natural-looking tan. They are called self-tan products.

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.

A quality self-tan product has been found to provide to the most advantages. The largest of which is that it is harmless, creating no damage to the skin. The second thing about the product that many people like is the fact that it is convenient, and supplies virtually instant results.

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.
