Useful Advice For Natural And Fake 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
