Sun Tan Spray Fights The Danger Of The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


Sun tan spray has been with us for quite a while. The deadly UV rays of sunlight has forced people to try and develop some kind of protection. The result was lotions that can be applied to the skin. Many types are available.



Suntan oil is different altogether. It is not made to give protection from the sun, but to help you tan quickly and effectively. Suntan spray gets to work absorbing, reflecting and filtering the rays while the oil actually has the purpose of intensifying the rays to enable a person to tan deeper and faster as they normally would. Make very certain to choose the right one.

The cream is also known as sunblock or suntan lotion. It is an essential sunscreen product and offers protection to anyone whose body is exposed to the sun for long periods. This must never be left behind when you plan to spend a summer day on the beach. Skin lightening products have sunscreen to protect lightened skin because light skin is more susceptible to sun damage than darker skin.



Whether you choose a small tube or spray on version of the cream, it is necessary to spread it evenly over all exposed skin. A generous blob in the palm of your hand should be sufficient to cover an adult body.

Often people will say suntan spray should be re-applied every two to three hours. Some researchers have found that applying it fifteen to 30 minutes before going outside into bright sunlight, and then re-applying fifteen to thirteen minutes after exposure started, offers the best protection. After swimming or sweating it must be re-applied again. There are products on the market that resist water and perspiration.

There is no best type available for babies. Babies should not be exposed to the sun at all as their skin is too delicate to cope with the harsh sun. As adults we are all aware of the dangers of excessive exposure. We should never subject the precious new skin of an infant to the unforgiving rays. Seek advice from a physician if there is no avoiding exposing your infant to the sun. Not all protection products are suitable for skin younger than six months. Baby's tender, sensitive skin may react badly to sun lotions.

Most older kids though seem to love playing outside, so it is extra important to put sun block on them to protect them. If they get sun burn in ten minutes, SPF 30 block will give them protection for 300 minutes and SPF 15 for 150 minutes.

The sun is a cause of skin cancer. It is dangerous and must be treated as such. For this reason the American Cancer Society recommends the use of sunblocks. When you use it though, keep in mind that it van wash of or wipe off. Re-apply when you think it is necessary. There is no sense in paying a very high price of fun in the sun, especially not if sun tan cream can prevent it.
