Three Approaches To Attain A Golden Look With Sun Tan Lotion And Tan Airbrush Methods

By Haywood Hunter


It has long been known that the skin needs to be protected from the sun's rays. As a result, manufacturers have developed sunscreen and sun tan lotion for this purpose. These, while designed to allow people to have fun outdoors, can provide different benefits based on the ultimate goal.

It has long been known that solar radiation on an unprotected body, can cause skin cancer (melanomas), as well as severe burns. There is SPF in sunscreen which blocks the rays, but still can achieve that golden look although it often takes longer. It is still possible to get a slight sunburn which often disappears in a few days. Additionally, it must be reapplied whenever an individual leaves the water.

The obvious advantage of just lying in sunlight is the fact that a base coat is generated that is difficult to achieve any other way. Besides the exposure to cancer-causing radiation, the downside is that this method can also accelerate the aging process. This makes those who sunbath wrinkle faster and appear older than they are.

Tanning lotion available today is especially designed to ensure that one has the desired skin color after exposure to the sun. It allows a person to achieve this end very quickly and with a very natural look. It has more of an outdoor exposure look than that achieved in a tanning booth and many today also include SPF to maximize protection from the sun.

This is not to say that booths and beds are bad ideas. In fact, their construction allows them to imitate the effects of UV rays without the harmful side effects. They do this by using UVA rays which are quick, causes fewer burns, create the base needed, and are carried out in a controlled setting. Lotion is used in these situations to achieve the desired color.

The final option is chemical tanning which can come in the form of airbrushing, wipes, lotions, gels, or sprays. Although they do not provide a base coat, chemicals used most closely achieve the color desired. This option is growing in popularity and can be expensive and quicker. Although burns can still result because there is no base coat, a golden color is generated without the time or danger of other choices.

By using a good sun tan lotion product, you can safely achieve the color you want and have various alternatives for achieving that look. However, emphasis is placed on 'good' product. Over the years there have been some poor lotions on the market that have resulted in colors other than the desired tan.
