Sunbathing Compared To The Spray Tan Method

By Haywood Hunter


Many people don't like to admit things that go against what they've been accustomed to or something they like. For example, sunbathing is appealing to many people, even though they know that it can be dangerous to their health. There have been links between sunbathing and skin cancer, so this isn't a myth. Having said that, there are alternatives which can provide a beautiful healthy glow, coming from the very popular spray tan.

This method incorporates the use of numerous chemicals. They get a natural looking tan, without any danger relating to skin cancer. Science has shown a link between UV rays and skin cancer. Different self tanning methods have become very popular because people are trying to protect themselves, and rightfully so here it one way they do this is through the use of sunblock. The problem with sunblock is that it virtually blocks out vitamin D.

The use of carotenoids are often popular in self tanning methods. These include various antioxidants from tomatoes and celery, among other types of produce as well. Even the consuming them in high amounts can change one's skin tone, so they are safely incorporated into these other methods. Yet another, known as lycopene also changes one's skin tone, and is completely safe.

The world of sunless tanning has changed dramatically over the last few years. Of course, such tans may be temporary, lasting about 10 days, but they give the individual what he or she wants in a short period of time. Such services are available in popular salons, gyms, and spas. The individual only needs to stand in a shower like a stall and await the application which takes moments.

Thankfully, the chemicals used in sunless tanning sprays have been very well examined by government bodies from across the globe. The findings claim them to be very safe, although some may develop skin reactions due to allergies to the preservatives. At the same time, these government bodies recommend people avoid inhaling and to keep their eyes shut during the application.

Because it's such a popular industry, there are many solutions, like bronzers applied by the individuals. They come in a variety of forms, so people can choose their favorite. However, many have experienced some problems, especially with staining and streaking. More often than not, the tan can wash off in the shower, so they don't have longevity on their side.

The sprayed on tan may very well be the best solution. It's quick and easy and lasts up to 10 days. Airbrushing is another option that is completed by professionals, generally in spas, but may also be in salons. Airbrushing is a great way to get a natural looking tan for any special event.

A sure thing is that making under the sun is no longer an option, although some still do it. Some claim they do it to absorb the right amount of vitamin D. Of course, only 15 minutes or so of exposure to indirect sunlight will give people their daily dose of vitamin D, so that definitely isn't the case. The important thing to remember is to avoid exposure to the sun during its peak hours, which are generally between 10 AM and 2 PM.
