Remember Always Use Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


The sun is always a welcome visitor to the summer skies. It always seems like the first real sunny day brings out the sun worshippers in their droves. Any spare piece of ground is taken up by those trying to get a tan, and many do claim to feel healthier for having obtained a tan. It is hoped that these individuals have applied a sun tan lotion.

It is simple to confuse a sun screen with a sun tan lotion. Help is at hand with the two combined in one easy to use lotion. The benefits of sun screen is that it protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun, the sun tan lotion works jointly with proteins, which the body produces, to darken the pigment of the skin.

Remember when shopping for a combination sun tan lotion, ensure that the letters SPF are present. This is the acronym for Sun Protection Factor. A lot of folk use an SPF of 20 as a good baseline, but if the number is higher the individual will discover they are able to withstand the direct sun's rays a lot longer.

One effect from the sun is that it will dry the skin. This is why your skin feels tight if you have sun burn. The sun tan lotion's cream aspect is designed to be readily absorbed by the skin, so keeping it hydrated. This will also assist in maintaining the skin's natural elasticity.

If people are old enough they might just remember the slip, slop, slap campaign that originated in Australia in the 80s. It was designed to alert sun worshippers to the possible dangers from overexposure. It is still valid today, and worth reminding people that when out in the sun to slip on a shirt, slop on your sun screen and sun tan lotion, and slap on a hat.

It is not only aimed at people on the beaches, but also in their own backyards, and to those who work outside in the sun. All too often there are construction workers who have taken their shirts off while they are working in full sun. They are not trying for a tan, and because they are not using sun tan lotion will often just go red. This can have an adverse effect on their health as they can end up having to take time off of work due to sun burn.

Now for the good news for those who are making an effort to gain a tan. By utilising a combination sun tan lotion you're shielded against the sun's strength for longer. Which also means that the sun is able to work jointly with the natural melanin for longer. The melanin acts like the bodies own sun block, and in so doing causes the pigment cells in the skin to become darker.

The sun tan lotion should be re-administered regularly. Some might feel that because they are using a waterproof one, but not entering the water that it doesn't affect them. Unfortunately it does, due to the body naturally perspiring. So reapplication of the sun tan lotion is necessary even when using waterproof varieties.

So if you are looking forward to the sun, there are a few things to remember. Wear a sun tan lotion, and also regularly reapply it. A sun tan looks good, but sun burn doesn't.
