Why A Tanning Lotion Is More Sensible Than Prolonged Contact To UV Rays

By Haywood Hunter


By this time one would think that everybody has received the message that exposure to the sun is harmful and that it can lead to a host of health problems. Yet many people still expose their bodies to direct sunlight and risk the contacting of a host of skin diseases. These diseases include skin cancer but cosmetic damage such as premature wrinkling and unsightly marks are also common. For those that wish to boast a tanned skin it is far better to use a tanning lotion.

There are numerous products available and almost all of them promise an instant even tan. Consumers should be aware, however, that these products are designed for a specific skin type. A product that works wonders for one person would therefore not necessarily provide the same satisfaction for another. It is advisable to read product reviews before selecting a specific brand. There are many websites that publish such reviews.

The internet is a great resource for information and advice, but consumers should be careful about the advice that they accept. It is advisable to use sites that are independent and that provide reviews of different brands and that publish the results objectively. It is also important to make sure that the reviews are based upon real tests. Accepting advice from the manufacturer of these products can be risky since they are interested only in promoting their own products.

Many fashion and beauty magazines also offer advice to their readers and they may even conduct tests themselves. Their advice is normally independent and objective. It may also be a good idea to ask advice from a beauty salon that has experience in this field. They will also be able to determine the exact skin type and the products that will work best with that skin type.

Good quality products are expensive. Buying a cheaper product is a risky business. Inferior products can cause highly unfavorable results. The resultant skin color can be uneven and it can range from orange to red. The skin can become blotchy and in extreme cases blisters can develop. It is most certainly better to rather not use such products if a high quality brand cannot be afforded.

Consumers should always be aware of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the beauty products that they use. Many products contain allergens that can cause itching and irritation. If a product does not list all its ingredients it should be avoided. When using a product for the first time it is always a good idea to first test it on a small area.

Consumers are increasingly aware of the impact their purchasing decisions have on the environment. When it comes to beauty products one of the biggest contributions consumers can make is to avoid products that have been tested on animals or that have been manufactured by businesses that have a poor record in terms of pollution.

There is no arguing that the sun can cause irreparable damage to the skin and even cancer. The best precaution is to stay out of the sun and to wear sunscreen when it is unavoidable. For those that still want a tan, the use of a lotion appropriate to the specific skin type is definitely a much wiser option.
