Why People Prefer Sun Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Looking good is at the top of most people's priority list, and this usually involves a nice-looking, golden-brown skin tone. Sun tanning has been used to produce tans for a long time, but it is also considered as dangerous. However, many people still like to go sun tanning on the sand, or next to the swimming pool. If you still like to go out into the sunlight for this purpose, there are a few sun tanning hints that you can follow.

Your skin will burn more easily if you are wearing cosmetics or other body perfumes and lotions, therefore, rather take them off. Even if you are planning on sun tanning your body, use a sunscreen with an adequate SPF. You don't want a sunburn. If your skin reacts easily to these types of products, try a hypoallergenic sunscreen. A waterproof sun tanning lotion is ideal if you like to swim, or play sports in the water.

The time of day that you go out is important. The UV rays are at their most harmful during midday hours, from about twelve to three in the afternoon. After a while out in the sunshine, you should cover sensitive skin areas with clothing. Wear a hat as well so that your face is protected. Try to not go out the very next day again. Give your skin some time to react by skipping a day or two between beach outings.

Sun tanning is not the only way anymore. With the realization of the harmful effects of UV rays, scientists have developed products that produce a fake tan. These products are referred to as self-tan lotions or sprays.

A tanned skin can also be achieved by using sunbeds. Be careful, however, as they can be just as damaging as the natural light that is so loved. You must use a sunscreen, because the beds also produce UV rays, and it is better to choose one with a low UVB. Short sessions are recommended.

The good thing about self-tan creams are that they are harmless to the skin. They can be used by anyone, regardless of their skin type. A quality product is easy to obtain from various stores, both online and offline.

Therefore, Sun tanning lotions or sprays are recommended for most instead of conventional sun tanning methods or sunbeds. They are so easy to apply that you can do it yourself, although you can go to a salon. Take a shower before the application, and put on a moisturizer beforehand as well. Spray or rub in the product over the desired areas to be tanned.

Sun tanning to produce a good tan can take some time, but self-tan products offer quick results. They start to work in about three hours after their application. The user of the products will also not have to worry about streaking or the dreaded orange-look of fake tans, as products nowadays are more advanced. Self-tan lotions can cover your whole body, but sun tanning in the nude is often not possible.

Top Chiropractor In North Royalton Helps Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Sufferers

By Hans Gerhard A prominent North Royalton chiropractor provides pain relief for those stricken with carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve that passes through the wrist to innervate the hands and fingers becomes compressed. Signs are pain, tingling and numbness. Eight bones form a tunnel in the wrist. The median nerve will be impeded if that tunnel narrows for any reason. There can be swelling around the carpal bones that cause it to become narrowed. Nerves pass through the wrist to activate the hand. Repetitive movements over time cause this painful condition. Someone might no longer be able to play the piano. A job that involves typing on a computer may be lost. Those people between the age of thirty and sixty are most susceptible. More of the sufferers are female. Someone who has connective tissue disease, diabetes or hypothyroidism is more at risk for developing this condition. Chiropractic care for this is preferred due to the fact it is non-invasive and do ...

Is There An Age Limit For Getting Braces?

By Rey Vetangelo There's no denying that childhood is the ideal time for getting braces. For many people it's a rite of passage: a mouthful of wires is all part of the growing up process. Seven is a great age for kids (or, rather their parents) to start thinking about orthodontics. This is because kids start losing their teeth around age five and generally have a full mouth of grown-up teeth by thirteen. At around age seven, most kids start to grow their molars - which guide everything else in their mouth. Those molars are the map for your kid's mouth and orthodontists can use them to predict upcoming tooth and jaw growth. At the age of 7-11, a kid's mouth will be full of growing action. Some take a little longer, but generally speaking, between the ages of 7-11, kid's mouths are very accepting of outside influence. Orthodontists like to call this 7-11 year old phase, "Phase I." Many types of toothpaste are also made specifically for children...
