Sunbathing Compared To The Spray Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Many people don't like to admit things that go against what they've been accustomed to or something they like. For example, sunbathing is appealing to many people, even though they know that it can be dangerous to their health. There have been links between sunbathing and skin cancer, so this isn't a myth. Having said that, there are alternatives which can provide a beautiful healthy glow, coming from the very popular spray tan.

With the use of chemicals that are completely safe, people get the natural sun kissed glow they want, without the fear of developing skin cancer. The popularity of self tanning has risen because links were created by health government bodies between sun exposure, along with others, like sunbeds. Artificial sun block soaks up ultraviolet light and prevents it from reaching the skin but can decrease vitamin D absorption dramatically.

An effective and safe approach to self tanning involves certain carotenoids, which are anti-oxidants found in some forms of produce, like celery and tomato plants. They change the skin tone when added to one's diet, in high amounts, for instance. Another is lycopene, which has a strong color and is non-toxic, used in different areas of the world as a safe food coloring.

Sunless tanning has a great effect, although it is temporary and fades away after several days. In other words, the individual will have to go for another session, which are primarily available at spas, salons or gyms. These are generally similar to shower stalls or cubicles where the individual is sprayed all over.

It's important for consumers to protect themselves, such as with avoiding inhalation at the time of spraying and that their eyes remain shut throughout the application. Moreover, some may be prone to an allergic skin reaction, due to the preservatives within the chemical solution. However, this method has been carefully studied by various government bodies around the world, and have found it to be safe.

Because it's such a popular industry, there are many solutions, like bronzers applied by the individuals. They come in a variety of forms, so people can choose their favorite. However, many have experienced some problems, especially with staining and streaking. More often than not, the tan can wash off in the shower, so they don't have longevity on their side.

The best solution is the sprayed on tan, either in the shower stall style or one that is airbrushed on the consumer by a professional. The latter will last up to 10 days. This is a perfect solution to anyone who is in need of a sun kissed glow for a special event.

Whatever the case, there are lots of options which all lead to everything but what was the norm. Natural tanning is to be avoided at all costs. No one is denying the fact that vitamin D is necessary for good health, and that can be absorbed in just 15 to 20 minutes of daily exposure to indirect sunlight. Everyone should be true to themselves and try to avoid exposure to the sun in its peak hours, which can easily lead to the skin burning very quickly, and thereby increasing risks to developing skin cancer.
