It's pretty common knowledge these days that tanning can be very dangerous. Nonetheless, sitting in the sun for small amounts of time every day will ensure you are getting enough Vitamin D and improve lots of skin issues you may have, eg or eczema. We all like to look golden and tanned. Thankfully, there are lots of ways to attain a gorgeous tan that are sure to impress those around you.
The Sun
Of course sun tanning has received negative press due to skin cancer and sun damage. Regardless, lots of people still like getting a tan naturally, by tanning in the sun. Tanning by the sun will help you achieve a natural golden look but always make sure you wear 30 SPF sunscreen so that your skin will be protected from dehydration and the dreaded sunburn.
Tanning Booths and Beds
Today, you don't have to wait for the sun to tan. You can go get a good, golden tan in a solarium. This method has become very popular. There are tanning salons in just about every city. Many people like this method better than natural tanning because the amount of light exposure is monitored and limited, unlike that done under the sun. There are two types of tanning solariums, those that use beds and those that use booths. The solariums that use booths allow users to stand up so that every part of the body gets tan, including areas that are usually unexposed, such as the backs of the legs. If you tan in a bed, you can lie down while you do so. When you tan in a solarium, you can tan much more quickly than you can naturally. UV light here is much stronger. This means that a session should only last you between eight and 10 minutes.
Getting That Temporary Tan
You can have a golden tan in just 20 minutes these days compared to those that wait all summer. By spraying a mist of tanning product all over the body in one or so coats. There are even technicians trained to spray on the tan just right for you but also stand up booths that automatically spray the tan for you 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.
You can also opt for a quick tan that washes off with soap and water. A product called "Dream Tan" has been used by bodybuilders for years for a quick, bronze like glow that's temporary. However, you have to be careful because this product can rub off on your clothes.
You may have a special reason or occassion coming up that warrants a tan. Whatever the case, consider the best method for you and your skin type. Once you have your tan, enjoy the admiration of your golden glow. - 15359
