Choosing Lotion Sun Tan Products

By Haywood Hunter


Many people with fair complexions feel that at least a light brown hue is desirable for the summer months. People want to look like they have an active leisure life that includes lots of fresh air and sunshine. However, fears of harmful UV rays, worries about dry skin and future wrinkles, and a lack of actual time outdoors makes many need a lotion sun tan style.

California movie stars and European celebrities have made it fashionable to have a bronze tint to their faces, arms, and legs. Personal taste differs, with some people tanning to a rich brown and others wanting just a light, biscuit tone. However, the medical establishment agrees that the UV rays of the sun can be damaging to the skin, leading to later wrinkles and skin cancers even if painful sunburns are avoided.

The annual sales of lotions, creams, oils, and sprays that are designed to make the tanning process safer and more effective show how popular these products are. Many offer protection from 'burning' rays while claiming to allow 'tanning' rays through to make the transformation faster and more even. Manufacturers conduct trials to see which scents and textures have mass appeal, and there are products that contain natural oils, no oil at all, natural scents, no scent at all, and a variety substances that are supposed to nourish the skin while it tans in the sun.

A high SPF factor means that the product is designed to block the rays of the sun for a period of time and with a certain degree of completeness. The higher the SPF factor, the less sunshine is allowed to get through to the outer layers of the epidermis. Even make-up, moisturizers, and lipsticks now contain sun protection.

Sunscreen products have been researched and declared safe and effective by organizations such as the American FDA, There are various options, such as lotions that will not wash off in water or when the wearer perspires, and special formulas for children. However, these products must be applied before exposure and at frequent internals during the time outdoors. Authorities still recommend avoiding direct sun during the hours of ten and four. They also recommend the use of hats and the wearing of long sleeves when outside.

Those who wish to appear tanned but do not want to risk exposure to the sun's rays - or just don't have the inclination nor the time to sunbathe - can now get good results with the sunless tanning products on the market. Some work gradually, as the product is used as a moisturizer on a daily basis, while others can produce the effect of weeks at the beach in a matter of hours.

Some consider any time in the direct sun to be dangerous and choose to use a self-tanning product. Even a tanning booth, with carefully regulated times of exposure, still uses UV rays that have been shown to damage the outer layers of skin. Some authorities think that any tanning from sunlight is a sign of damage that has already occurred. Others feel that some time in the sun is beneficial to total body health.

There are enough choices of lotion suntan style to satisfy all consumers, whatever degree of tanning they prefer. You can choose by SPF factor, scent, consistency, or even the appearance of the container or the cachet of the name.
