Different Solutions To The Dangerous Ramifications Of Uncontrolled Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing seems to be a natural part of life, but it couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, it comes with many harmful effects, but it also has some very positive ones. For one thing, sitting in the sun allows people to absorb a natural form of vitamin D, which is vital to good health. Without it, people can suffer a slew of health problems, being vitamin D deficient may even cause numerous forms of cancer. However, there are solutions to the harmful effects of natural tanning.

Prevention is key. By all means, that doesn't mean that people should only go out after dark. Just be cautious, going out in the sun for approximately 15 minutes every day to absorb the daily dose of vitamin D. More than that isn't necessary, and it's actually dangerous to one's health.

As such, people should be more aware of what they can and can't do to protect themselves from the harmful UV rays of the sun. The first thing is to avoid going out for long periods of time when the UV Index is high. Next, where a hat with a thick rim to protect the head, the ears and the face from overexposure to the sun's rays.

Remember the good old days where people would lay out in the sun for hours on end, forget about them. Overexposure to the sun can lead to the development of skin cancer. Certainly, everyone is aware of this form of cancer being on the rise, everywhere around the world.

In addition to all of the above, overexposure to the sun damages the skin. It is one of the major culprits of premature aging that begins with the formation of fine lines, which developed into wrinkles. Furthermore, freckles are also developed, as are age spots. The sun kissed glow is something that most people want because they end up looking healthier and more attractive.

Solutions to alternative types of tans do exist, and people still look and feel good, but without any of the harmful effects. For example, there are lotions and creams that naturally darken skin. What's more is that they do so gradually, so there aren't any dramatic overnight results to deal with that indicate it's not natural.

Spray tans are also popular and very effective, providing a healthy glow and that desired sun kissed look that's so popular during the summer months. Beds and booths with special lighting can also provide the desired results, but they are not all created equal. In fact, some can be just as harmful, if not more so than the actual UV rays of the sun.

Therefore, this type of equipment should be avoided at all costs. Not only will the skin age quicker, but there are scientific claims that demonstrate they can cause cancer. Getting color from other sources is the best way to stay healthy, and the vitamin D dose can come directly from the 15 minutes of indirect sunlight. Of course, acquiring the vitamin D should only be done when the sun is not at its peak, meaning it's safer. Remember to dress right and wear sunscreen when exposed to direct sunlight.
