Sun Tan Methodning Vs The Popular 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.

Some self tanning methods involve using carotenoids. Many types of vegetation contain this, which help to change the skin tone. Lycopene is another, which provides a nontoxic, strong color that is popular as food coloring in Australia and other countries.

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.

Protecting oneself is very important. Although these chemicals are considered safe, from government bodies all over the world, being cautious is always best. That means avoiding the inhalation when the application is being sprayed, and remember to keep the eyes shut.

Of course, there are many other self tanning methods as well, such as bronzers. These are generally applied by the individual, and come in the form of creams or lotions, sprays, mousse, and others. Sometimes, depending on the product, it could lead to streaking, and other problems, like staining. What's more is that these can come off in the shower, so they're only good for a day or so.

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.
