Sun Tan Spray Fights The Danger Of Deadly Sunlight

By Haywood Hunter


The sun gives off ultraviolet rays, UV rays, that can be quite harmful to people. Sun tan spray can actually help prevent any damage. This lotion gets rubbed into the skin and has been used since the middle 1900's. It helps keep people from getting burnt by the sun. Sunscreen or sun block comes in different types such as lotion, gel, or spray. This product is, especially for those who are outside during midday when the sun is shining.

These must not be confused with another kind of product, suntan oil. Whereas sunblock protects the skin by reflecting and filtering dangerous rays to minimize damage, the oils actually magnifies the impact or the sun's heat. This is to assist the person using it in obtaining a deep and fast tan. When you want to spend a summer's day on the beach, make sure you buy the right product.

Sunblock is a very necessary product for anyone who will be exposed to the sun for a relatively long time. It is essential that the sunblock goes along and that it gets used when you spend a day at the beach. Sunblock also have another use. They sometimes serve as part of the arsenal of someone who has a light skin and wants to protect it. Light skins gets damaged very easily by the sun.

Whatever kind of package you get it in, the cream should be applied to all skin that is exposed to the sun. For most adults, one squirt should be close to enough to cover all the areas that needs it. It is also available in a spray.

Often people will say suntan spray should be re-applied every two to three hours. Some researchers have found that applying it fifteen to 30 minutes before going outside into bright sunlight, and then re-applying fifteen to thirteen minutes after exposure started, offers the best protection. After swimming or sweating it must be re-applied again. There are products on the market that resist water and perspiration.

Babies should not really need suntan lotion because they should not even be exposed to direct sunlight for a longer amount of time. Adults have been taught about the dangerous rays. If the child will be outside for long, a physician should be consulted to see what is safe for the baby. Babies many times will break out in rashes from any skin care products because of their sensitive skin.

Most older kids though seem to love playing outside, so it is extra important to put sun block on them to protect them. If they get sun burn in ten minutes, SPF 30 block will give them protection for 300 minutes and SPF 15 for 150 minutes.

The sun's rays are very dangerous and is a cause of skin cancer. Medical bodies including the American cancer society recommend sunscreens such as sun tan cream because it helps to keep away the possible development of squamous cell carcinoma as well as basal cell carcinoma. Keep in mind that some sunblock products will be washed away or diluted when water is present. The best is to re-apply the product after swimming.
