Diverse Alternatives To Achieve Good Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


There is no doubt that a person with a tan gives the appearance of someone who is healthy, as well as attractive. This is obtained by exposure to the sun, tanning salons or self-help products. This is one way to present a good appearance to the public.

If the tan is to be obtained from the sun's natural rays, there are things that must be considered. Just being exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays, for long periods of time, with no protection, can be dangerous. Not only can it cause a bad sunburn but can also present the possibility of cancer in some people.

Many do not realize that there are six different skin types, each of which will have different reactions to ultraviolet sun rays. However, regardless of what your skin type is, the sun's powerful rays can penetrate into the skin and damage the skin cells. Cancer can develop at numerous places on the body, regardless of skin type, due to too much exposure.

Types are defined as to the degree of pigmentation, with more melanin in the darker skin. They are listed as Type One, pale white, which will always burn, never tanning. Two, white, will tan very little and burn easily. Three, white, tans easily and burns very little. Four, light brown or olive, burns little and tans easily. Five, brown, tans easily and dark, seldom burning. Six, black or dark brown, always tans and seldom burns.

Some people have the idea that if they get a 'basic tan', at a salon, prior to sun exposure it will aid in getting a good tan, prevent skin damage and sunburn. This has proved to be untrue. Premature aging and other damages will occur from repeated UV radiation, regardless of this base tanning.

To have a good tan you have some options. You could use sunless tanning products in which a person looks tanned without exposure. This is ordinarily in the form of a spray, oil or lotion. Sunless tanning pills are not recommended as they can cause damage to the liver and the retina of the eyes.

Sunscreen products should be chosen very carefully. The proper ones will limit the exposure to the sun, thus preventing early wrinkling or damage. These are available in chemical and physical forms.

The physical sunscreen will block, reflect, scatter, and absorb these dangerous rays. The chemical sunscreen protects by absorbing the sun rays. The better ones have two ingredients. These will protect from both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B. When making a purchase, it is important to read the labels carefully, making sure the product contains high SPFs.

Getting a good tan is possible nowadays in a number of different ways. It may be a tanning bed, spray-tan booth, self-tanner or sun tan lotions. Regardless of the method, it is possible to present a complete change of appearance with a good tan. It will allow you to hide blemishes, make you look slimmer, and show off your muscles. People who work long hours indoors or live in a short summer season find a good tan very effective.
