Why A Tanning Lotion Is More Sensible Than Straight Exposure To The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


One would think that by this time most people have got the message that exposure to the sun is dangerous to their health. Yet people still desire a golden brown skin and allow the sun to bake them into ill health. Cancer is not the only threat. Ugly skin scars, liver spots and wrinkles are all results of over exposure to the sun. The better option is to use self 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.

Fashion and beauty magazines are also a rich source of information. Most of these magazines feature advice columns and they normally make sure that questions from readers are answered by experts. Consumers should also consider a visit to a beauty salon that stocks these products. These establishments are often also able to test the skin type and to recommend a product that will work best with that type of skin.

Experts warn that cheap tan products should be avoided at all cost. Inferior products pose a real health threat. Apart from the possibility that it will cause blemishes and even blisters, it can also result in a highly embarrassing color. Correcting such undesirable results can be both expensive and time consuming. It is better to forego a tan than to use inferior products.

It is very important to be aware of the ingredients of any beauty before it is used. If it contains allergens the user can experience itching, swelling and pain. Experts advise that it is better to avoid using products that do not list all the ingredients used in its manufacturer. Even when the ingredients are listed it is always a good idea to test the product on a tiny area when using it for the first time.

Consumers are increasingly aware of the impact their purchasing decisions have on the environment. When it comes to beauty products one of the biggest contributions consumers can make is to avoid products that have been tested on animals or that have been manufactured by businesses that have a poor record in terms of pollution.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is dangerous, even when applying a good quality sunscreen. It can result in cancer and premature ageing. If a tan is desired, the use of a good quality tan lotion is by far the better option. Many products are easy to apply and produce highly satisfactory results.
