Choosing The Best Lotion Sun Tan Products Available Today


by Haywood Hunter


Many people with fair complexions feel that at least a light brown hue is desirable for the summer months. People want to look like they have an active leisure life that includes lots of fresh air and sunshine. However, fears of harmful UV rays, worries about dry skin and future wrinkles, and a lack of actual time outdoors makes many need a lotion sun tan style.

California movie stars and European celebrities have made it fashionable to have a bronze tint to their faces, arms, and legs. Personal taste differs, with some people tanning to a rich brown and others wanting just a light, biscuit tone. However, the medical establishment agrees that the UV rays of the sun can be damaging to the skin, leading to later wrinkles and skin cancers even if painful sunburns are avoided.

There are many creams, lotions, and even sprays on the cosmetic shelves that promise to make tanning faster, more even, safer, and better for total body health. Many contain natural oils and plant extracts designed to nourish the skin while protecting it from drying or sun damage. The scent, the texture, the long-lasting nature of the product, and the appearance of the container are all part of the appeal.

Safety is found in those products that have a SPF factor, which rates the levels of protection offered. While some dark tanning oils have no added ingredients (some, like coconut oil, are thought to contain natural sun protection), most have some sort of sun-screening effect. Even make-up now has its SPF rating listed, from powers to foundations to lipsticks.

Research has shown that sunscreens are effective if use properly. However, authorities still recommend wearing a hat when outside, staying out of direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, and limiting the amount of exposure. Sunscreens also need to be reapplied after swimming or exercise.

There are also products that are designed to darken the skin without exposure to the sun. These self-tanning lotions work by developing the pigment melanin, that is the natural protective agent of fair complexions. This sort of cream is applied directly to the body after exfoliation, with care being taken to spread the substance evenly to achieve natural looking results. Some of these work gradually, darkening gradually while moisturizing and nourishing the outer layers of the epidermis, while others promise an instant look of weeks of exposure.

Many feel that using an instant tanning product is better than letting the sun do the work, or even using a tanning booth. Even a booth exposes the customer to UV rays, which are known to carry risk. In fact, some medical advice holds that any tanning is a sign of damage already done.

There are enough choices of lotion suntan style to satisfy all consumers, whatever degree of tanning they prefer. You can choose by SPF factor, scent, consistency, or even the appearance of the container or the cachet of the name.
