It's pretty common knowledge these days that tanning can be very dangerous. Nonetheless, sitting in the sun for small amounts of time every day will ensure you are getting enough Vitamin D and improve lots of skin issues you may have, eg or eczema. We all like to look golden and tanned. Thankfully, there are lots of ways to attain a gorgeous tan that are sure to impress those around you.
The Sun
The much publicised skin cancer and sun damage caused by sun tanning has endeavoured to make people wary of tanning this way. However, lots of people still prefer spending time outside for the purpose of obtaining a tan. Sun tanning gives a golden glow that will obviously appear natural. Beware of skin dehydration and sunburn when tanning by the sun, you should always use a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF to tan safely.
Tanning Booths and Beds
Because of the convenience and availability of tanning in a solarium, this method has become very popular. Tanning salons can be found in almost every town. Many prefer this method because the amount of exposure to the light is limited and monitored, unlike tanning in the sun. There are two types of solariums, stand up booths and beds. Stand up solariums allow you to tan white areas such as under the arms as well as on the inside of the legs. Tanning in a bed allows you to lie down. When tanning in a solarium because the UV light is so strong and you tan quicker, it is recommended that each tanning session last between 8 to 10 minutes.
Temporary Tans - Spray On and Lotions
If you don't want to do something so permanent (or potentially damaging to your skin), you can opt for a spray on tan. In 20 minutes, you'll have a golden tan that might even less dulcimer. For this, you spray a fine mist on your body in one or two coats. For this, it's best to have a trained technician spray you, or you can stand in an automatic "spray tan" booth and have it done in a matter of minutes.
Along the lines of liquid tanning you have the lotions that give you a fake tan. There are body lotions and face moisturizers that can add a bronze-like colour to the skin. However, many of the cheaper lotions are sugar based and this causes an issue with natural pigments, so instead of a bronze glow the color ends up being orange and patchy.
For best results, take a bath before you apply spray on or lotion tans so that you have nothing acting as a barrier between your skin and the tanning product. You shouldn't have any lotions, powders, or anything else preventing absorption. After you do the application, too, you shouldn't swim or bathe for 8 to 10 hours. Shave at least 12 to 24 hours before you apply any products so that the tan will go on more evenly. In addition, dry areas such as elbows and knees tend to pick up tanning product more readily than the rest of the body because they tend to be dry, so be aware that these areas of the body may tan more darkly.
If you want a quick tan that washes off with soap and water then you can always use what the body builder's use, Dream Tan. It's a 'tan in a can" and is only for temporary use. Care needs to be taken, as Dream Tan will rub off on your clothing.
No matter why you want to tan, find out what your skin type is and then use the method that works best for you. Once you find a way to get that great tan, go ahead and show it off. - 15438
