Why A Tanning Lotion Is More Sensible Than Prolonged Contact To The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


One would think that by this time most people have got the message that exposure to the sun is dangerous to their health. Yet people still desire a golden brown skin and allow the sun to bake them into ill health. Cancer is not the only threat. Ugly skin scars, liver spots and wrinkles are all results of over exposure to the sun. The better option is to use self tanning lotion.

There are numerous products available and almost all of them promise an instant even tan. Consumers should be aware, however, that these products are designed for a specific skin type. A product that works wonders for one person would therefore not necessarily provide the same satisfaction for another. It is advisable to read product reviews before selecting a specific brand. There are many websites that publish such reviews.

Care should be taken when researching products online. Some manufacturers have websites disguised as consumer sites and it is obvious that they will promote their own products. It is best to look for websites that are truly independent and that compare various products objectively with each other. It would also be wise to use only sites that employ the services of content managers that are experts in this field.

Fashion and beauty magazines are also a rich source of information. Most of these magazines feature advice columns and they normally make sure that questions from readers are answered by experts. Consumers should also consider a visit to a beauty salon that stocks these products. These establishments are often also able to test the skin type and to recommend a product that will work best with that type of skin.

Experts warn that cheap tan products should be avoided at all cost. Inferior products pose a real health threat. Apart from the possibility that it will cause blemishes and even blisters, it can also result in a highly embarrassing color. Correcting such undesirable results can be both expensive and time consuming. It is better to forego a tan than to use inferior products.

The ingredients of a product should also be studied very carefully. Many products contain allergens that can lead to extreme discomfort. If the product does not list all its ingredients it is better to avoid using it. Even if all the ingredients are listed, it is still wise to test the product on a small area of the skin to make sure that there are no adverse effects.

Users of all types of beauty products should be environmentally responsible when they select their products. No responsible consumer will even consider a product that has been tested on animals or that has been manufactured by a company notorious for pollution. Care should also be taken when disposing of containers since many of the products are harmful to the environment.

There is no arguing that the sun can cause irreparable damage to the skin and even cancer. The best precaution is to stay out of the sun and to wear sunscreen when it is unavoidable. For those that still want a tan, the use of a lotion appropriate to the specific skin type is definitely a much wiser option.
