How Teachers Can Use Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


You will find that you have a lot of different choices when you are looking at tanning lotion. Each one of these is made for different purposes so you need to know what you are looking for to avoid any possible damages to your skin. Of course you should know that the word tanning means to make one's skin darker.

Three different choices are available for you to be able to get a tan. Going outside and into the sunlight is one of these. This form actually uses UV radiation to help your skin to tan. This is something that many people are warned about today because of possible damages.

The second method is to choose one of the special types of lotions that are available to spray or rub on. This is one of most popular choices because it is so safe. However it is one of the choices that you have to be the most careful with to avoid ending up with a skin color that is not desired.

The third choice is one that requires you to go to an indoor tanning area where you can get some safer UV rays. This is a great way to increase the amount of Vitamin D that you have in your body as well. Even though this gives you exposure to UV rays there are some benefits that you will have that you can not get if you do not have them.

There is going to be a certain choice of the lotions that you want to use when you decide which way you are going to get a tan. This is important because each type is made to be applied for a specific choice of how to tan. It can actually cause you to have damaged skin if you pick out the wrong one but with so many this might be easier said that done.

There are actually three options for you to look at with lotions which include those that will help you to get a natural looking tan without UV rays, called self-tanning lotions; those that are going to keep your tan longer, called enhancers; and those that are going to help you to avoid damages from the sun with SPF, called sunscreens. The ones that protect your skin from UV rays are made specifically to be used outdoors. In the past these might have been harder to find but today you do not have to look far because SPF is found in almost all lotion choices as well as in make up.

If you are choosing to give yourself a tan then you will have two different ways in which it might work. One of these is that the lotion is going to actually dye your skin. The other is that it is going to use a chemical process that oxidizes protein cells, mostly melanin, in the top or outer layer of the skin.

The last choice of tanning lotion is that which will enhance your tan. These actually help your skin to be able to have more resistance to the UV rays of the sun because they build up melanin in the skin. This makes the skin darker because melanin is what gets dark when you tan with UV rays or any other choice of self-tanner.
