Useful Tips On Natural And Fake Sun Tanning

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.

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.

Sun tanning is not the only way anymore. With the realization of the harmful effects of UV rays, scientists have developed products that produce a fake tan. These products are referred to as self-tan lotions or sprays.

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.

The good thing about self-tan creams are that they are harmless to the skin. They can be used by anyone, regardless of their skin type. A quality product is easy to obtain from various stores, both online and offline.

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.

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.
