Remember Always Use Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Finally it looks as though summer is trying to make an appearance. As usual at the first hint of sun, plenty of people will be outside trying to obtain a tan. So wherever there is sunshine, people are going to try and make the most of it, as everyone seems to feel healthier when they have a tan. Hopefully they will remember to apply a sun tan lotion.

A lot of people get sun tan lotions mistaken with sun screens. The good news is that you can purchase combination sun tan lotion and sun screen. The screening effect will help to protect you from the harmful ultra violet rays, whilst the tanning element works in conjunction with the bodies naturally occurring proteins to darken the skin's pigmentation.

For those who seek a combination sun tan lotion and sunscreen, remember only buy one that says SPF. This is the acronym for Sun Protection Factor. An ideal starting point seems to be an SPF of 20, if the number if greater than that it will lengthen the time that you can expose yourself to the sun.

A downside to sun worshipping is that it does tend to dry the skin. Just think to how tight your skin felt the last time you had sun burn. The sun tan lotion is specially designed to be easily absorbed by the cells in the skin. This will prevent that dry feeling, and the skin will still have its normal suppleness.

If people are old enough they might just remember the slip, slop, slap campaign that originated in Australia in the 80s. It was designed to alert sun worshippers to the possible dangers from overexposure. It is still valid today, and worth reminding people that when out in the sun to slip on a shirt, slop on your sun screen and sun tan lotion, and slap on a hat.

It is not only aimed at people on the beaches, but also in their own backyards, and to those who work outside in the sun. All too often there are construction workers who have taken their shirts off while they are working in full sun. They are not trying for a tan, and because they are not using sun tan lotion will often just go red. This can have an adverse effect on their health as they can end up having to take time off of work due to sun burn.

Now for the good news for those who are making an effort to gain a tan. By utilising a combination sun tan lotion you're shielded against the sun's strength for longer. Which also means that the sun is able to work jointly with the natural melanin for longer. The melanin acts like the bodies own sun block, and in so doing causes the pigment cells in the skin to become darker.

Remember to reapply your sun tan lotion at regular intervals. There are sun tan lotions that are meant to be waterproof, and even if you are not going swimming the body itself will be sweating. So even the waterproof sun tan lotion will need reapplication.

No one is saying to ignore the sun during the summer months. Just to use a little bit of common sense, and a good sun tan lotion. You will be tanned before you realise.
