How To Apply Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


There are many things that you should know about tanning lotion and the different types that are available to you. One of the things that you have to remember is that you can damage your skin and ruin your tan if you choose the wrong one for your needs. Today the term tanning means to attempt to make your skin a darker shade.

There are actually three different ways in which you can get a tan. One of these is to go out and be in the sun outside. The way that your skin tans when you are outside is through UV radiation. Today there are reports that this is not the best method and can cause damage to the skin.

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.

A safer way to tan with UV rays is through an indoor facility where you can go. There are occasions when these places are actually used by doctors to help patients get even Vitamin D. It is likely that you have heard about all of the dangers of being exposed to UV rays but what you might not know is that there are also benefits.

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.

There are a couple of ways in which the choice to tan yourself can work. The first is that they dye your skin in a similar fashion to how hair dye works. The other is that they actually use a chemical oxidation process with the protein cells, which are mostly melanin, on the outer or top layer of skin.

Finally you can looking for a tanning lotion that is meant to enhance your tan. When you use one of these you will actually build up the melanin that is in your skin which is going to allow you to have more protection from the sun and UV rays. Your skin will be darker in color when you self-tan or when you choose to tan yourself outdoors.
