Sun Tan Lotions - Oh, What a Tan!

Oh, what fun to be under the sun… basking and lazing, baking under the sun. But I see a plethora of sun tan lotions, prancing before my eyes… which should it be? Is it the 'Black Gold', or the 'Blame It On Rio'? Can I use the 'Body Drench' or the 'Coco Beach'? There is the 'Cote d Azur Mango Flambe' – that sounds yummy… or may the 'Designer Skin Drama Queen'? What's with these brands of suntan lotion? Isn't it enough that I'm under the sun?

 

Now that may have sounded silly, but to the uninitiated like me, to choose a suntan lotion could be quite a complicated task. Now let's see…

 

When you plan to go out in the sun, like participating in an outdoor sports activity or just lazing on the beach on a gorgeous, sun-filled day, a suntan lotion is a must. A suntan lotion gives you a healthy, glowing tan while it also protects your skin with the necessary moisturizers and sunscreens. While moderate exposure to the sun is healthy and needful, you must also be aware that staying under the sun for extended periods could be harmful to your skin. The sun is at its hottest from 10 am to 2 pm, so be smart and find a shade somewhere.

 

Sun Tan Lotions Can't Do All the Work

  1. Don't get sunburned. Develop a base tan first. You can do this in tanning salons. Expose yourself gradually. Sunburn is not a tan. A sunburn means burned skin from overexposure to the sun.

  2. Protect your skin with quality SPF sun lotions. Different skin types react differently to sun exposure, so know your skin type first. Depending on the level of protection that you choose, the suntan lotion will let in a certain amount of UV rays for you to tan.

  3. Protect your eyes. Use suitable eyewear when tanning so that both UVA and UVB light rays are blocked. Do get other accessories like hats to protect your eyes from the bright sunlight.
