How To Apply Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


There are many things that you should know about tanning lotion and the different types that are available to you. One of the things that you have to remember is that you can damage your skin and ruin your tan if you choose the wrong one for your needs. Today the term tanning means to attempt to make your skin a darker shade.

To be able to get a tan you need to choose from one of three ways. The first is that you can just go into direct sunlight. UV radiation will be exposed to your skin when you are outdoors and then you will find that it tans. Of course many people are no longer comfortable with this choice because of harmful damages that could happen to you skin.

You might even find that you want to spray or rub one of the special lotions on your skin in order to get a tan. Since this is so safe it has become quite popular with everyone worrying about the harm from UV rays. The only downside is that it has to be done with care to avoid an undesired shade.

A safer way to tan with UV rays is through an indoor facility where you can go. There are occasions when these places are actually used by doctors to help patients get even Vitamin D. It is likely that you have heard about all of the dangers of being exposed to UV rays but what you might not know is that there are also benefits.

Of course depending on the way that you plan on getting a tan you will want a specific category of lotions. Each one of these is made to serve a single specific purpose but it can be really easy to choose the wrong one. If you do that there are some chances that you are taking including that you might end up with damaged skin.

The tree different choices in lotions are those that have sun protection with SPF which are called sunscreens, those that will help to tan the skin with out UV which are called self-tanning, and those that will help to create a more even tan which are a called enhancers. The sunscreens are made for you to be used when you are going to be outside or in direct sunlight for a long period of time. Today these are found everywhere and most cosmetic and moisturizing products have them.

There are a couple of ways in which the choice to tan yourself can work. The first is that they dye your skin in a similar fashion to how hair dye works. The other is that they actually use a chemical oxidation process with the protein cells, which are mostly melanin, on the outer or top layer of skin.

When you are looking for the right tanning lotion the last choice is an enhancer. This choice actually works in two ways, one of which is to help you to be protected more against the UV rays from the sun because it builds up the melanin in the skin. This has a second effect as well which is to help you when you are tanning to get darker.
