Why A Tanning Lotion Is Better Than Prolonged Exposure To The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


By this time one would think that everybody has received the message that exposure to the sun is harmful and that it can lead to a host of health problems. Yet many people still expose their bodies to direct sunlight and risk the contacting of a host of skin diseases. These diseases include skin cancer but cosmetic damage such as premature wrinkling and unsightly marks are also common. For those that wish to boast a tanned skin it is far better to use a tanning lotion.

Even a rudimentary online search will reveal that there are numerous products that promise to produce an instant tan. Some of the sites provide reviews of various products but consumers should be careful about accepting advice from such sites. The secret is to find a product that will work on the specific skin type on which it will be used. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another.

Care should be taken when researching products online. Some manufacturers have websites disguised as consumer sites and it is obvious that they will promote their own products. It is best to look for websites that are truly independent and that compare various products objectively with each other. It would also be wise to use only sites that employ the services of content managers that are experts in this field.

Many fashion and beauty magazines also offer advice to their readers and they may even conduct tests themselves. Their advice is normally independent and objective. It may also be a good idea to ask advice from a beauty salon that has experience in this field. They will also be able to determine the exact skin type and the products that will work best with that skin type.

Good quality products are expensive. Buying a cheaper product is a risky business. Inferior products can cause highly unfavorable results. The resultant skin color can be uneven and it can range from orange to red. The skin can become blotchy and in extreme cases blisters can develop. It is most certainly better to rather not use such products if a high quality brand cannot be afforded.

Consumers should always be aware of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the beauty products that they use. Many products contain allergens that can cause itching and irritation. If a product does not list all its ingredients it should be avoided. When using a product for the first time it is always a good idea to first test it on a small area.

Consumers are increasingly aware of the impact their purchasing decisions have on the environment. When it comes to beauty products one of the biggest contributions consumers can make is to avoid products that have been tested on animals or that have been manufactured by businesses that have a poor record in terms of pollution.

A beautiful even tan remains desirable to many people. It is not worth it, however, if the long term results can be cancer and prematurely aged skin. Using a lotion is a better and wiser option. There are a large number of products that cater for every type of skin and many of them produce excellent results.
