Sun protection products are vital if you want your looks to stay
safe from the suns uva and uvb rays, especially if you’re serious on
protecting yourself against the deadly skin cancer by sun damage.
There are safer bronzing methods available and investing in quality Sun
protection products, or trying spray tans will keep your skin and
health safe from harm. But beware, there are also dangerous products
and practices that can be devastating to your looks and health. The
dangerous solariums, tanning pills, or simply ‘raw sun bathing’ are a
definite no nos’!. Read on as we cover safe, and unsafe ways to achieve
that glowing bronzed look all year round...
Solariums…Time capsules..
Statistics indicate that there still seems to be
large numbers of people who still believe
solariums are safe....Little do they know...
The world health organisation has recently
released some surprising figures indicating just
how dangerous solariums are and how they can be
just as deadly as smoking cigarettes. Solariums
increase the chance of skin cancer by 75%. So
whatever you do, stay clear from solariums
(sunbeds). Solariums are compared to time
capsules....when you step into one..... it will zap
you into looking older than your years within a short burst of time and could end your
life just as fast. Thousands of skin cancer cases from uva and uvb exposure emitted by
solariums have been responsible for this over the past few decades . Some countries are
trying to get solariums banned from public use in a bid to save their citizens skin and
health.
Don’t take Pills my Sun..
There are certain types of ‘tanning pills’ that contain Canthaxin and
other dangerous chemicals which supposedly give you a fake tan
after ingesting a few tablets. These tanning pills are now banned
commercially in the US. and other countries by the FDA (food and
drug administration) These pills have been known to cause liver
damage and other health related problems. Canthaxanthin and the
carotenoid chemicals, which are ingredients within tanning pills
have been linked with hepatitis and hives, plus all sorts of peculiar
and abnormal reactions. One of the many side effects from these
tanning pills give the skin an itchy, red and bloated look.
PROTECT YOUR LARGEST AND BEST LOOKING ASSET....
Its imperative to invest in good quality sun protection products if you want to
keep your skin safe. The higher the sun protection factor (SPF.) the safer your skin and
your looks will remain. One of the sun protection products we’ve tried out is the Is.
Clinical Sunscreen (SPF. 25) which is a quality sun protection product and an essential
weapon for protecting your skins health and looks. Long gone are the days when you
would have to wear a thick white zinc based lotion to protect yourself from the suns
uva and uvb rays. Most new sun protection products, such as Clear Clinical sunscreen
cream (SPF. 30) act like a protective barrier from the suns Uva and Uvb rays. Its light;
non greasy, easily absorbed and easy to apply on your face and body.
The good news is that a lot of modern moisturisers are also made with built in Sun
protection. Check out Dermalogica Age smart Dynamic skin recovery (SPF.30) which
contains vitamin C and enhances skins firmness. If you want to try a tinted moisturiser,
then another highly rated product is Dermalogica Sheer tint moisture SPF 15. This
product will give you a Sun kissed look while protecting your skin from sun
damage......perfect! Not only are these products great in preventing Sun damage, but
they also help put your skin back into shape. Check out our Sun Products page for
more quality Sun protection products.
‘So how do I get that sun kissed look without solariums;
tanning pills, beaches, parks.....or putting my head in the
oven?’
For the face:
We’ve tried and tested Sun Laboratories Strictly Faces which is a great tanning lotion
and works very effectively to give you a golden glow as if you’ve just stepped off a
beach. This tanning lotion contains DHA, which is a safe chemical that gradually gives
you a healthy looking natural tan with a couple of applications. Dermaquest Self tanner
is also a quality tanning lotion which gives you the tanned look without streaks and will
save you from damaging your skin or health from the Suns uva, uvb rays.
Recommended For the body:
Peter Thomas Roth natural self tanner is a high quality all over tanning lotion. This
tanning lotion takes care of bronzing your face and body. The more you apply, the
darker your tan will become due to the DHA. Always remember to wash your hands
after every application when using any chemical based tanning lotions.
More people are turning away from dangerous solariums or raw Sun bathing as they
become aware on the dangers of skin cancer from Sun damage and are turning towards
smarter, safer Spray Tans. Spray tans will save you from watching your skin erode over
a short time from the Suns Uva, Uvb rays. Spray tans wont damage your skin and will
make you look bronzed fast! Re application is only required once a week, or once a
fortnight, depending on how bronzed you want to keep looking. Getting a safe spray
tan is actually a fun process which takes only minutes. There are tanning booths, or
hand-held machines available. You will step out of the spray booth in the salon looking
as sun kissed as you choose. If you want to try a safe spray tan at home, then try Fake
Bake instant self tanning spray. Along with vitamins and antioxidants, this is another
good quality product that wont let you down and is easy to apply.
A Safer Spray of Sunshine....
Keep enjoying glorious sunshine but become aware of the invisible dangers from
the suns uva, uvb rays which can lead towards skin cancer from sun damage.
Even on days that aren’t sunny, its still important to protect yourself. Invest in good
quality sun protection products, stay away from dangerous solariums and
tanning pills and you’ll be doing your skin, your looks and your health a huge
favour.
