Reasons For Using Sun Lotion For Suntan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Over the years you may have gone through a lot of changes in regard to which tanning lotion you use when the time comes for being outdoors. And this is true for most people, given that the last twenty years, the practice of laying outdoors for hours with little or no protection is no longer a healthy option. Apparently it was not then either, people were just not aware of it at the time.

The reason for this is that the sun has become something that we have to take a lot more seriously than we did in the past. At one time laying outside all day, with little or no protection was the norm. There were even some who would use other products such as baby oil, in order to give them the perfect dark tan, that everyone wanted.

But no longer can this be the case. And now all year round you will find sun products lining the shelves of just about every store. And the brands and protection levels have gone through the roof. Trying to offer consumers the best tanning solutions with the best protection at the same time.

And so now you will find these products for sale all year round, rather than as just a seasonal product. And that is okay. Because given this change in attitude, they now have even more variety. And it is only a matter of deciding what you hope to accomplish that will allow you to decide which one will serve you best.

But each one has positive and negative things that should be taken into consideration. For example, if you are more interested in protecting your skin than getting a tan, you will want to find a product that has a high SPF factor. This is what keeps your skin from being damaged by the sun. And the higher the level of protection the better off your skin will be. But this can reduce the amount of tan you will get at the same time.

That is not to say that the oils that are used for sunning are not also available with SPF protection, only they may not come with such high levels. And for many this too is okay. They are not as concerned with the protection as they are with the look that will result from their days outdoors. And if this is the case there is something for them as well.

Tanning lotion has gone to a whole new level, sunless and salon bed items. These are for the person who has little time or interest in being outdoors, but still like to look as though they have spent hours working on their tan. At one time they could only be bought in specialty stores, but today you will find them in just about any location that sells this type of product.
