How Teachers Can Use Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


There are a wide variety of choices when it comes to tanning lotion so you might need some more information. This is so that you can easily find the best way to keep from damaging your skin while still meeting all of the needs that you have to get the desired shade of skin. There are many meanings to the word tanning but in this sense it means to try and get darker skin.

There are actually three different ways in which you can get a tan. One of these is to go out and be in the sun outside. The way that your skin tans when you are outside is through UV radiation. Today there are reports that this is not the best method and can cause damage to the skin.

You might even find that you want to spray or rub one of the special lotions on your skin in order to get a tan. Since this is so safe it has become quite popular with everyone worrying about the harm from UV rays. The only downside is that it has to be done with care to avoid an undesired shade.



A safer way to tan with UV rays is through an indoor facility where you can go. There are occasions when these places are actually used by doctors to help patients get even Vitamin D. It is likely that you have heard about all of the dangers of being exposed to UV rays but what you might not know is that there are also benefits.

Of course depending on the way that you plan on getting a tan you will want a specific category of lotions. Each one of these is made to serve a single specific purpose but it can be really easy to choose the wrong one. If you do that there are some chances that you are taking including that you might end up with damaged skin.

Sunscreens or those lotions that contain SPF which is a sun protection, self-tanning lotions which are those that will give you a glow with no UV, and enhancers which are products that help you keep your tan for a longer period of time are the three available choices. When you want to be outside for a specific period of time you will want to use sunscreens. Today these are easily found since they are actually added to a variety of different moisturizing and cosmetic products.

There are two ways in which a self-tanner can work. The first is that it could be dyeing your skin, much like when you get your hair dyed. The second is that it might be providing your top layer of skin which contains melanin with a chemical oxidation.

The last choice of tanning lotion is that which will enhance your tan. These actually help your skin to be able to have more resistance to the UV rays of the sun because they build up melanin in the skin. This makes the skin darker because melanin is what gets dark when you tan with UV rays or any other choice of self-tanner.
