Different Solutions To The Harmful Effects Of Uncontrolled Tanning That Still Provide A Sun Kissed Glow

By Haywood Hunter


While sunbathing has been around for what seems like forever, it simply cannot continue to be a normal part of life because it comes with its own set of serious problems. Alternatively, the natural son can also bring the all-important vitamin D. This vitamin is absolutely necessary for overall good health, and being deficient can bring on numerous health problems. Thankfully, there are solutions with regards to tanning, and how to get that natural glow without the dangers.

Being careful is the most important thing. In order to get the required amount of vitamin D, an individual must sit in in direct sunlight for 15 minutes. Anything more than that is just excessive and can cause health problems.

People should learn how to deal with the sun in order to stay healthy and avoid diseases from developing. Having said that, avoid being outdoors and in direct sunlight during a high reading of the UV Index. The next thing is to dress appropriately, especially protecting the face and head from direct sunlight.

Remember the good old days where people would lay out in the sun for hours on end, forget about them. Overexposure to the sun can lead to the development of skin cancer. Certainly, everyone is aware of this form of cancer being on the rise, everywhere around the world.

In addition to all of the above, overexposure to the sun damages the skin. It is one of the major culprits of premature aging that begins with the formation of fine lines, which developed into wrinkles. Furthermore, freckles are also developed, as are age spots. The sun kissed glow is something that most people want because they end up looking healthier and more attractive.

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 solution is to spray tan. It is popular, effective, and safe. Many use it throughout the year, although more so during the summer months. Special lights are incorporated in beds to also provide that a healthy glow. Unfortunately, many of these are made with less than favorable light that could cause a lot of damage.

Obviously, those are to be avoided to protect oneself from aging and skin cancer. Having said all that, people don't need to hide themselves completely from the sun. Being well protected with sunscreen and the right clothing, they can enjoy time outdoors and get the necessary vitamin D. However, they must be smart about when to do so, avoiding the sun between the hours of 10 and 2, when it is the strongest. Being smart changes everything and allows people to enjoy life without taking unnecessary risks.
