How Teachers Can Use 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.

Three different choices are available for you to be able to get a tan. Going outside and into the sunlight is one of these. This form actually uses UV radiation to help your skin to tan. This is something that many people are warned about today because of possible damages.

You might even find that you want to spray or rub one of the special lotions on your skin in order to get a tan. Since this is so safe it has become quite popular with everyone worrying about the harm from UV rays. The only downside is that it has to be done with care to avoid an undesired shade.

The third choice is one that requires you to go to an indoor tanning area where you can get some safer UV rays. This is a great way to increase the amount of Vitamin D that you have in your body as well. Even though this gives you exposure to UV rays there are some benefits that you will have that you can not get if you do not have them.

There are actually choices of specific lotions for each way to get a tan. Even though they are all unique and work for just one purpose, they can easily be confused with each other and you might mix them up. Sometimes you might only be wasting your money if you choose the wrong one but other times you can actually cause damage to your skin.

The tree different choices in lotions are those that have sun protection with SPF which are called sunscreens, those that will help to tan the skin with out UV which are called self-tanning, and those that will help to create a more even tan which are a called enhancers. The sunscreens are made for you to be used when you are going to be outside or in direct sunlight for a long period of time. Today these are found everywhere and most cosmetic and moisturizing products have them.

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.

The last choice of tanning lotion is that which will enhance your tan. These actually help your skin to be able to have more resistance to the UV rays of the sun because they build up melanin in the skin. This makes the skin darker because melanin is what gets dark when you tan with UV rays or any other choice of self-tanner.
