Sun Tanning Versus The Popular 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.

People can still get the natural look but they desire, but with safe chemicals. In using these methods, they can develop that beautiful tan in no time, and have no fear of developing skin cancer. Other forms that were developed to attract those who wanted a tan but couldn't do it the natural way include sunbeds. Unfortunately, many of these proved to come with many risks as well. It's important to use sunblock, but it's also important to recognize the fact that it can decrease the amount of vitamin D a person's skin will absorb.

The use of carotenoids are often popular in self tanning methods. These include various antioxidants from tomatoes and celery, among other types of produce as well. Even the consuming them in high amounts can change one's skin tone, so they are safely incorporated into these other methods. Yet another, known as lycopene also changes one's skin tone, and is completely safe.

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.

It's important for consumers to protect themselves, such as with avoiding inhalation at the time of spraying and that their eyes remain shut throughout the application. Moreover, some may be prone to an allergic skin reaction, due to the preservatives within the chemical solution. However, this method has been carefully studied by various government bodies around the world, and have found it to be safe.

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 best solution is the sprayed on tan, either in the shower stall style or one that is airbrushed on the consumer by a professional. The latter will last up to 10 days. This is a perfect solution to anyone who is in need of a sun kissed glow for a special event.

One thing is for sure and that's that the days of roasting under the hot sun are finished. Certainly, a good amount of vitamin D is necessary for good health, but that can be acquired through in direct sunlight. Plus, it only requires the individual to sit out in the sun for no more than 15 or 20 minutes to get their dose. Never sit out between 10 a. M. And 2 p. M., which is when the sun is the strongest, as this can lead to burning the skin, even in such a short period of time.
