Sun Tan Spray Fights The Bite Of Deadly Sunlight

By Haywood Hunter


Sun tan spray has been with us for quite a while. The deadly UV rays of sunlight has forced people to try and develop some kind of protection. The result was lotions that can be applied to the skin. Many types are available.

These must not be confused with another kind of product, suntan oil. Whereas sunblock protects the skin by reflecting and filtering dangerous rays to minimize damage, the oils actually magnifies the impact or the sun's heat. This is to assist the person using it in obtaining a deep and fast tan. When you want to spend a summer's day on the beach, make sure you buy the right product.

The cream is also known as sunblock or suntan lotion. It is an essential sunscreen product and offers protection to anyone whose body is exposed to the sun for long periods. This must never be left behind when you plan to spend a summer day on the beach. Skin lightening products have sunscreen to protect lightened skin because light skin is more susceptible to sun damage than darker skin.

It does not matter whether you prefer you sunblock in the form of a gel, spray or cream, it must be applied evenly on your skin. One good squeeze of the tube should release enough for an adult body.

Often people will say suntan spray should be re-applied every two to three hours. Some researchers have found that applying it fifteen to 30 minutes before going outside into bright sunlight, and then re-applying fifteen to thirteen minutes after exposure started, offers the best protection. After swimming or sweating it must be re-applied again. There are products on the market that resist water and perspiration.

There is no best type available for babies. Babies should not be exposed to the sun at all as their skin is too delicate to cope with the harsh sun. As adults we are all aware of the dangers of excessive exposure. We should never subject the precious new skin of an infant to the unforgiving rays. Seek advice from a physician if there is no avoiding exposing your infant to the sun. Not all protection products are suitable for skin younger than six months. Baby's tender, sensitive skin may react badly to sun lotions.

Older kids love the water. Outdoor water fun, unfortunately has the sun's heat as side-effect. Their skins must also be protected. To do that to the most effective extent possible, use a sunblock with enough shielding power. Say for instance a kid gets sun burned in ten minutes that a SPF 30 block will provide protection for 300 minutes. SPF 15 will do the job for 150 minutes and so on.

Keep in mind that the rays can cause skin cancer. Medical organizations such as the American Cancer Society recommend the use of sunscreen because it prevents the squamous cell carcinoma and the basal cell carcinoma. Also keep in mind that water can dilute or wash off some sunscreen products. If swimming is involved, keep the sun tan cream handy and re-apply when necessary.
