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
The much publicised skin cancer and sun damage caused by sun tanning has endeavoured to make people wary of tanning this way. However, lots of people still prefer spending time outside for the purpose of obtaining a tan. Sun tanning gives a golden glow that will obviously appear natural. Beware of skin dehydration and sunburn when tanning by the sun, you should always use a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF to tan safely.
Tanning in Beds/Booths
The modern tanner has the convenience of tanning in a solarium and these are found in most towns, these days. This method is preferred because the exposure to uv rays are limited and monitored, unlike exposure to the sun. Booths and beds are the two options among solariums. In booths you stand up and they help to tan tricky places like under the arms and inside the legs. In tanning beds you have the comfort of lying down. Tanning in a solarium is much quicker because UV rays are stronger and more intense so it is recommended that sessions only last for 8 to 10 minutes.
Getting That Temporary Tan
If you don't want to do something so permanent (or potentially damaging to your skin), you can opt for a spray on tan. In 20 minutes, you'll have a golden tan that might even less dulcimer. For this, you spray a fine mist on your body in one or two coats. For this, it's best to have a trained technician spray you, or you can stand in an automatic "spray tan" booth and have it done 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.
If you want a quick tan that washes off with soap and water then you can always use what the body builder's use, Dream Tan. It's a 'tan in a can" and is only for temporary use. Care needs to be taken, as Dream Tan will rub off on your clothing.
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. - 15266
