Different Forms Of Cheap Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


The cost of protecting ourselves from the harmful effects of radiation from the sun can seem shockingly expensive. We spend the money because it is preferable to damaging our skin and risking cancer. If we are prepared to look, it turns out we can find top quality, big name brand cheap tanning lotions.

Suntan enthusiasts may not be aware that there are different cheap tanning lotions out there for different usage scenarios. For instance, products for working on a suntan naturally are different from those used in salons or without exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Products for outdoor use are rated using what is called a sun protection factor (SPF). The greater the SPF factor, the longer the user can remain in the sun without causing damage to their skin. Not everybody wants protection from UV rays. For them, there are cheap tanning lotions that actively focus the rays of the sun onto the skin's surface to facilitate development of a suntan.

Babies, as well as little children, should always be protected by an application of high-SPF product when they are out in the sun for longer than a few minutes. Anybody with a pale complexion or who has freckles should also use moderate to high-SPF cheap tanning lotions. The risk of getting skin cancer increases with exposure to the sun so everyone who spends a lot of time in the sun should use at least low-SPF protection some of the time.

There are some people who prefer to work on their sun tan indoors on special beds or in booths. Indoor cheap tanning lotions work by facilitating the synthesis of melanin, a dark pigment that the skin produces naturally when exposed to sunlight in order to protect the body from absorbing too much Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones, but it is toxic at high levels.

These cheap tanning lotions are created especially for use with an ultra-violet light source such as a bed or a booth. They do not offer protection from the sun nor do they contain sunscreen. Another effect of these cheap tanning lotions that accelerates development of a sun tan is by increasing blood flow to the skin.

Some of the ingredients used in indoor cheap tanning lotions are L-tyrosine and melanin. L-tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid. Extracts of green tea, copper and tea oil may also be found in these products. It should be noted that tanning beds all use a protective shield made from 100 per cent acrylic. The types of oils that are found in cheap tanning lotions designed for use when working on an outdoor suntan damage this acrylic surface and should not be used indoors for this very reason.

One way of creating the appearance of a sun tan is to apply special chemicals to the skin. This method does not involve exposing the skin to the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun or in suntan salons. These cheap tanning lotions are increasingly popular as reports linking UV exposure to a higher incidence of skin cancer continue to appear in the news. A lot of sunless cheap tanning lotions contain chemicals called carotenoids, which occur naturally in certain fruits and vegetables, especially carrots.

One carotenoid that is safe for use at high chronic doses is Lycopene. This may also provide protection from certain forms of cancer. Not all carotenoids are this safe. Products for all types of suntan generation can be found in the form of cheap tanning lotions.
