Sunbathing Vs The 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.

With the use of chemicals that are completely safe, people get the natural sun kissed glow they want, without the fear of developing skin cancer. The popularity of self tanning has risen because links were created by health government bodies between sun exposure, along with others, like sunbeds. Artificial sun block soaks up ultraviolet light and prevents it from reaching the skin but can decrease vitamin D absorption dramatically.

An effective and safe approach to self tanning involves certain carotenoids, which are anti-oxidants found in some forms of produce, like celery and tomato plants. They change the skin tone when added to one's diet, in high amounts, for instance. Another is lycopene, which has a strong color and is non-toxic, used in different areas of the world as a safe food coloring.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
