Diverse Alternatives To Achieve A Good Tan All Year

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.

When in direct sunlight, you are exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. This can cause considerable skin damage, including a very bad sunburn. This not only ages the skin, but also can cause serious physical problems, including pain, severe headaches, and other complications.

The medical profession classifies skin types into six different categories. This shows how people with various types of skin react to trying to obtain a tan with the sun's rays. Regardless of what kind of skin you have, these powerful rays will penetrate the skin, and long exposure can damage the cells beneath.

The category varies according to the type of skin you have. The darker the skin, the higher degrees of pigmentation and melanin are involved. As far as tanning, pale white skin will never tan and always burn, white will either tan very little or a lot, and burn easily or very little. Light brown or olive tans easily and burns little, brown will tan dark and easily while seldom burning, and black or dark brown will always tan and very seldom burn.

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.

There are a number of options available to gain a tan without sun exposure. These include products in the form of tanning salons, oils, lotions, and sprays. There are also sunless tanning pills available, but the medical profession does not recommend these as they can harm the liver and the eye retina.

In choosing sunscreen products it is important to get the ones that will offer the most protection. This protection will assist in preventing premature skin aging and other damages to your body. They are available in both chemical and physical forms.

All sunscreens and sun blocks are not equal. By careful examination of the product's label, you will be able to see just what it does as well as what ingredients are used. A physical sunscreen scatters, blocks, reflects and absorbs the sun's rays. The chemical one will absorb the rays. A product with high SPFs is desirable and offers the most protection to the skin from the sun.

Whether using a tanning bed, self tanner, spray-tan booth or other method to achieve to the desired look, there is no doubt that a good tan can change your body's overall appearance. It can disguise blemishes, define the muscles and even make you look slimmer. This is especially effective for people who live in climates with little sunlight, or who have to spend a great deal of their time working indoors.
