Different Solutions To The Dangerous Ramifications Of Uncontrolled Tanning That Still Provide A Sun Kissed Glow

By Haywood Hunter


It seems like forever that people have been sitting out in the sun to get a color. Unfortunately, this practice comes with its own set of very harmful effects. On the other hand, the sun also provides vitamin D, which is best absorbed in this way and is extremely vital for overall good health. Many health problems can develop if someone is deficient in this vitamin, and many north of the equator are actually vitamin D deficient. Below, discover the alternatives to natural tanning.

Prevention is key. By all means, that doesn't mean that people should only go out after dark. Just be cautious, going out in the sun for approximately 15 minutes every day to absorb the daily dose of vitamin D. More than that isn't necessary, and it's actually dangerous to one's health.

Protecting oneself is the most important way to deal with the sun. No one can avoid it altogether, but being cautious with the UV rays is the way to go. For one thing, avoid exposure to the sun at peak times, and especially if the UV Index is high. Wear protective clothing, including a thick rimmed hat that will protect and the face from the harmful UV rays.

Forget about laying about all day, soaking in coconut oil to achieve the darkest tan. Doing so is like rolling the dice, as it comes with great risk of developing skin cancer. It's all over the news how this form of cancer is continuously on the rise.

Exposure to the sun can also damage the skin dramatically. It ages skin, causing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as freckles. That said, there are still those who thrive to have that sun kissed glow, and in all honesty, why not. They look healthier, more often than not, and often look better in a slightly darker tone.

May be a natural tan is out of the question, but there are alternatives that can let you look and feel great while maintaining the moisture in the skin and avoiding the dangers of skin cancer from developing. These begin with lotions. They are applied directly onto the skin, and gradually overnight, they begin to take effect and provide that healthy glow people want.

Another popular and effective method uses spray tans, which are professional booths where a safe application is sprayed onto the individual. In this way, it is possible to acquire that beautiful healthy glow that everyone wants over the summer, and sometimes in the wintertime too. Another solution is the special booths and beds that are equipped with special lighting. Unfortunately, some of these can be more dangerous than even the sun.

Therefore, this type of equipment should be avoided at all costs. Not only will the skin age quicker, but there are scientific claims that demonstrate they can cause cancer. Getting color from other sources is the best way to stay healthy, and the vitamin D dose can come directly from the 15 minutes of indirect sunlight. Of course, acquiring the vitamin D should only be done when the sun is not at its peak, meaning it's safer. Remember to dress right and wear sunscreen when exposed to direct sunlight.
