You have probably heard or been told by friend or family member just how dangerous tanning is. However, there is nothing wrong with sitting in the sun a little each day to soak up some Vitamin D as well as improve any type of skin ailment you may have such as acne and eczema. Everyone wants to have that golden tan. Fortunately, there are many ways to reach a tan that is sure to wow you and others.
The Sun
Over the years, sun tanning has been receiving harsh criticism because of skin cancer and sun damage. However, many people still prefer a naturally obtained tan by spending some time outside. Sun tanning will get you a natural golden glow. However, make sure that you wear a sunscreen that is at least 30 SPF this will allow you to tan while protecting from skin dehydration and sunburn.
Tanning Beds and Booths
Because of the convenience and availability of tanning in a solarium, this method has become very popular. Tanning salons can be found in almost every town. Many prefer this method because the amount of exposure to the light is limited and monitored, unlike tanning in the sun. There are two types of solariums, stand up booths and beds. Stand up solariums allow you to tan white areas such as under the arms as well as on the inside of the legs. Tanning in a bed allows you to lie down. When tanning in a solarium because the UV light is so strong and you tan quicker, it is recommended that each tanning session last between 8 to 10 minutes.
Getting That Temporary Tan
You can have a golden tan in just 20 minutes these days compared to those that wait all summer. By spraying a mist of tanning product all over the body in one or so coats. There are even technicians trained to spray on the tan just right for you but also stand up booths that automatically spray the tan for you in a matter of minutes.
Along the lines of liquid tanning you have the lotions that give you a fake tan. There are body lotions and face moisturizers that can add a bronze-like colour to the skin. However, many of the cheaper lotions are sugar based and this causes an issue with natural pigments, so instead of a bronze glow the color ends up being orange and patchy.
Make sure you bathe first, before attempting spray on or lotion tans yourself. This will remove all oils and powders from your body that may interfere with a perfect colour result. Once you have completed applying the tan, don't shower, bath or swim for about eight hours so that it sets successfully. Shaving between 12 to 24 hours before you apply the fake tan will also help the application of an even tan. Those dry areas like knees and elbows are rough and dry so moisturise them so that the colour won't be uneven in those areas.
You can also opt for a quick tan that washes off with soap and water. A product called "Dream Tan" has been used by bodybuilders for years for a quick, bronze like glow that's temporary. However, you have to be careful because this product can rub off on your clothes.
No matter why you want to tan, find out what your skin type is and then use the method that works best for you. Once you find a way to get that great tan, go ahead and show it off. - 15252
