Solutions To The Dangerous Ramifications Of Uncontrolled Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing seems to be a natural part of life, but it couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, it comes with many harmful effects, but it also has some very positive ones. For one thing, sitting in the sun allows people to absorb a natural form of vitamin D, which is vital to good health. Without it, people can suffer a slew of health problems, being vitamin D deficient may even cause numerous forms of cancer. However, there are solutions to the harmful effects of natural tanning.

Prevention is key. By all means, that doesn't mean that people should only go out after dark. Just be cautious, going out in the sun for approximately 15 minutes every day to absorb the daily dose of vitamin D. More than that isn't necessary, and it's actually dangerous to one's health.

People should learn how to deal with the sun in order to stay healthy and avoid diseases from developing. Having said that, avoid being outdoors and in direct sunlight during a high reading of the UV Index. The next thing is to dress appropriately, especially protecting the face and head from direct sunlight.

Forget about laying about all day, soaking in coconut oil to achieve the darkest tan. Doing so is like rolling the dice, as it comes with great risk of developing skin cancer. It's all over the news how this form of cancer is continuously on the rise.

If that's not enough, too much exposure to the sun will age the skin. It begins with the development of freckles and fine lines, which will eventually turn into deep wrinkles. The more one exposes oneself to the sun, the more wrinkles that they will develop. However, that does not stop people from wanting that beautiful sun kissed glow that makes them look better and healthier.

Thankfully, there are solutions that exist, so people can get the best of both worlds while remaining safe. For starters, there are available lotions that are applied directly onto the skin, and in time develop a darker tone. The better ones go on without any streaks, developing gradually for a more natural tan.

Another popular and effective method uses spray tans, which are professional booths where a safe application is sprayed onto the individual. In this way, it is possible to acquire that beautiful healthy glow that everyone wants over the summer, and sometimes in the wintertime too. Another solution is the special booths and beds that are equipped with special lighting. Unfortunately, some of these can be more dangerous than even the sun.

Obviously, those are to be avoided to protect oneself from aging and skin cancer. Having said all that, people don't need to hide themselves completely from the sun. Being well protected with sunscreen and the right clothing, they can enjoy time outdoors and get the necessary vitamin D. However, they must be smart about when to do so, avoiding the sun between the hours of 10 and 2, when it is the strongest. Being smart changes everything and allows people to enjoy life without taking unnecessary risks.
