Remind Yourself Regularly Use 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.

Quite a few find that they get their sun screen mixed up with their sun tan lotion. To assist with this dilemma, you can now buy combination screens, blocks and sun tan lotion. These allow you to get a tan while protecting the body from the more harmful UV rays. The tanning process works in unison with proteins naturally produced within the body. This helps to tan, or darken, skin tones.

If you are looking for a combination sun tan lotion and sun screen, always look for the letters SPF. These stand for sun protection factor. Most people seem to look for an SPF of at least 20, the higher the number the longer an individual can stay out in the direct 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.

Anyone who was about in the 1980s might remember the very successful slip, slop, slap campaign. It started in Australia, and was instrumental in raising awareness to the dangers of overdoing sun worshipping. Thirty years down the line and it is still just as important to remind yourself, when out in strong sun slip a loose shirt on, slop on your sun tan lotion, and protect your head by slapping on a hat.

It is not only aimed at people on the beaches, but also in their own backyards, and to those who work outside in the sun. All too often there are construction workers who have taken their shirts off while they are working in full sun. They are not trying for a tan, and because they are not using sun tan lotion will often just go red. This can have an adverse effect on their health as they can end up having to take time off of work due to sun burn.

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.

No one is saying to ignore the sun during the summer months. Just to use a little bit of common sense, and a good sun tan lotion. You will be tanned before you realise.
