Natural Sun Tan Methodning Versus The Popular Spray Tan Method

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing seems to have come to an end, as people recognize the risks involved with it. One of the most notable signs that it endangers people is the obvious hike in skin cancer over the last few decades. Obviously, this is completely relative to the exposure to the sun. Therefore, a better solution exists with the alternatives to sunless tanning, or 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.

Although it is a temporary result, some astounding is the way to go. Last thing approximately 10 days or so, the consumer will have to be subjected to more sessions to maintain the color. The sessions are easy, involving shower stalls or cubicles where the spray is applied on the individual.

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.

Of course, there are many other self tanning methods as well, such as bronzers. These are generally applied by the individual, and come in the form of creams or lotions, sprays, mousse, and others. Sometimes, depending on the product, it could lead to streaking, and other problems, like staining. What's more is that these can come off in the shower, so they're only good for a day or so.

Hands down, the sprayed on tan is the best. It's quick and effective. One other form is the airbrushing, which is applied by a professional, and can last several days. Such methods are best for those who like the sun kissed glow, especially for special events, like their wedding.

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.
