Why A Tanning Lotion Is Preferable To Straight Exposure 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.

A basic internet search will reveal that there are a staggering number of different products on the market. Each one of them promises that consumers can look forward to a beautiful tan that is natural looking and easy to attain. Consumers should be careful, however, because these products are developed for very specific types of skin. A product that works very well for one person may not be the right product for someone else.

The internet is a great resource for information and advice, but consumers should be careful about the advice that they accept. It is advisable to use sites that are independent and that provide reviews of different brands and that publish the results objectively. It is also important to make sure that the reviews are based upon real tests. Accepting advice from the manufacturer of these products can be risky since they are interested only in promoting their own products.

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.

Quality beauty products are expensive and consumers should be very careful before opting for cheaper products. In fact, if a quality product cannot be afforded it is better to forget the idea of an instant tan. Products of poor quality can cause damage to the skin. It can also produce a highly unfavorable and uneven color that is very difficult to correct.

Consumers should always be aware of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the beauty products that they use. Many products contain allergens that can cause itching and irritation. If a product does not list all its ingredients it should be avoided. When using a product for the first time it is always a good idea to first test it on a small area.

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.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is dangerous, even when applying a good quality sunscreen. It can result in cancer and premature ageing. If a tan is desired, the use of a good quality tan lotion is by far the better option. Many products are easy to apply and produce highly satisfactory results.
