Sun Tanning Vs The Spray Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Many people don't like to admit things that go against what they've been accustomed to or something they like. For example, sunbathing is appealing to many people, even though they know that it can be dangerous to their health. There have been links between sunbathing and skin cancer, so this isn't a myth. Having said that, there are alternatives which can provide a beautiful healthy glow, coming from the very popular spray tan.

This method incorporates the use of numerous chemicals. They get a natural looking tan, without any danger relating to skin cancer. Science has shown a link between UV rays and skin cancer. Different self tanning methods have become very popular because people are trying to protect themselves, and rightfully so here it one way they do this is through the use of sunblock. The problem with sunblock is that it virtually blocks out vitamin D.

Some self tanning methods involve using carotenoids. Many types of vegetation contain this, which help to change the skin tone. Lycopene is another, which provides a nontoxic, strong color that is popular as food coloring in Australia and other countries.

Sunless tanning has a great effect, although it is temporary and fades away after several days. In other words, the individual will have to go for another session, which are primarily available at spas, salons or gyms. These are generally similar to shower stalls or cubicles where the individual is sprayed all over.

Thankfully, the chemicals used in sunless tanning sprays have been very well examined by government bodies from across the globe. The findings claim them to be very safe, although some may develop skin reactions due to allergies to the preservatives. At the same time, these government bodies recommend people avoid inhaling and to keep their eyes shut during the application.

Certainly, numerous other self tanning methods exist as well. Bronzers have agents that darken the skin tone, and generally come in the form of lotions, creams, and many others. Be careful when choosing such products because they could leave streaks, providing for a very unnatural finish. Staining is also a problem that many will encounter, and such tans are washed away in the shower.

The sprayed on tan may very well be the best solution. It's quick and easy and lasts up to 10 days. Airbrushing is another option that is completed by professionals, generally in spas, but may also be in salons. Airbrushing is a great way to get a natural looking tan for any special event.

A sure thing is that making under the sun is no longer an option, although some still do it. Some claim they do it to absorb the right amount of vitamin D. Of course, only 15 minutes or so of exposure to indirect sunlight will give people their daily dose of vitamin D, so that definitely isn't the case. The important thing to remember is to avoid exposure to the sun during its peak hours, which are generally between 10 AM and 2 PM.
