Remind Yourself Always Utilise Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Raptis


Finally it looks as though summer is trying to make an appearance. As usual at the first hint of sun, plenty of people will be outside trying to obtain a tan. So wherever there is sunshine, people are going to try and make the most of it, as everyone seems to feel healthier when they have a tan. Hopefully they will remember to apply 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.

For those who seek a combination sun tan lotion and sunscreen, remember only buy one that says SPF. This is the acronym for Sun Protection Factor. An ideal starting point seems to be an SPF of 20, if the number if greater than that it will lengthen the time that you can expose yourself to the sun.

After exposure to the sun, the skin starts to dry. This is more evident when you suffer from sun burn, as your skin feels as though it has shrunk. The skin can readily absorb the sun tan lotion. This sun tan lotion will help avoid the tightness and keep the skin supple.

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.

The warnings aren't just for beach goers, you can catch the sun just as easily in your own backyard. There are also people like farmers and construction workers who work outside. Many wear just shorts and safety boots while they work in the scorching sun. They don't want to tan, anyone not using a sun tan lotion will turn red. If it is too severe it can be counter productive as sun burn might mean time off of work.

Should you be one of the lucky ones able to sun bathe, by utilising a combination sun tan lotion you will be able to prolong your exposure. As a result these sun's rays will be working on your skin for longer. It works with something called melanin, which is the bodies natural sun block. The pigment within the skin steadily begins to darken, or tan.

It is just as important to administer further coatings of sun tan lotion. Numerous sun tan lotions and oils claim to be waterproof, even if you are not going in the water it is worth using these due to the body perspiring. Consequently even this type of sun tan lotion needs to be re-administered.

So by all means go out and enjoy the sun this summer. Get yourself a nice healthy tan, but try not to overdo it. Always remember to use, and reapply, a good quality sun tan lotion.
