Why A Tanning Lotion Is Better Than Direct Contact To The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


By this time one would think that everybody has received the message that exposure to the sun is harmful and that it can lead to a host of health problems. Yet many people still expose their bodies to direct sunlight and risk the contacting of a host of skin diseases. These diseases include skin cancer but cosmetic damage such as premature wrinkling and unsightly marks are also common. For those that wish to boast a tanned skin it is far better to use a tanning lotion.

A basic internet search will reveal that there are a staggering number of different products on the market. Each one of them promises that consumers can look forward to a beautiful tan that is natural looking and easy to attain. Consumers should be careful, however, because these products are developed for very specific types of skin. A product that works very well for one person may not be the right product for someone else.

The internet is a great resource for information and advice, but consumers should be careful about the advice that they accept. It is advisable to use sites that are independent and that provide reviews of different brands and that publish the results objectively. It is also important to make sure that the reviews are based upon real tests. Accepting advice from the manufacturer of these products can be risky since they are interested only in promoting their own products.

Many fashion and beauty magazines also offer advice to their readers and they may even conduct tests themselves. Their advice is normally independent and objective. It may also be a good idea to ask advice from a beauty salon that has experience in this field. They will also be able to determine the exact skin type and the products that will work best with that skin type.

Good quality products are expensive. Buying a cheaper product is a risky business. Inferior products can cause highly unfavorable results. The resultant skin color can be uneven and it can range from orange to red. The skin can become blotchy and in extreme cases blisters can develop. It is most certainly better to rather not use such products if a high quality brand cannot be afforded.

The ingredients of a product should also be studied very carefully. Many products contain allergens that can lead to extreme discomfort. If the product does not list all its ingredients it is better to avoid using it. Even if all the ingredients are listed, it is still wise to test the product on a small area of the skin to make sure that there are no adverse effects.

Users of all types of beauty products should be environmentally responsible when they select their products. No responsible consumer will even consider a product that has been tested on animals or that has been manufactured by a company notorious for pollution. Care should also be taken when disposing of containers since many of the products are harmful to the environment.

There is no arguing that the sun can cause irreparable damage to the skin and even cancer. The best precaution is to stay out of the sun and to wear sunscreen when it is unavoidable. For those that still want a tan, the use of a lotion appropriate to the specific skin type is definitely a much wiser option.
