Solutions To The Harmful Ramifications Of Uncontrolled Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


While sunbathing has been around for what seems like forever, it simply cannot continue to be a normal part of life because it comes with its own set of serious problems. Alternatively, the natural son can also bring the all-important vitamin D. This vitamin is absolutely necessary for overall good health, and being deficient can bring on numerous health problems. Thankfully, there are solutions with regards to tanning, and how to get that natural glow without the dangers.

Being careful is the most important thing. In order to get the required amount of vitamin D, an individual must sit in in direct sunlight for 15 minutes. Anything more than that is just excessive and can cause health problems.

People should learn how to deal with the sun in order to stay healthy and avoid diseases from developing. Having said that, avoid being outdoors and in direct sunlight during a high reading of the UV Index. The next thing is to dress appropriately, especially protecting the face and head from direct sunlight.

Forget about laying about all day, soaking in coconut oil to achieve the darkest tan. Doing so is like rolling the dice, as it comes with great risk of developing skin cancer. It's all over the news how this form of cancer is continuously on the rise.

If that's not enough, too much exposure to the sun will age the skin. It begins with the development of freckles and fine lines, which will eventually turn into deep wrinkles. The more one exposes oneself to the sun, the more wrinkles that they will develop. However, that does not stop people from wanting that beautiful sun kissed glow that makes them look better and healthier.

May be a natural tan is out of the question, but there are alternatives that can let you look and feel great while maintaining the moisture in the skin and avoiding the dangers of skin cancer from developing. These begin with lotions. They are applied directly onto the skin, and gradually overnight, they begin to take effect and provide that healthy glow people want.

Another solution is to spray tan. It is popular, effective, and safe. Many use it throughout the year, although more so during the summer months. Special lights are incorporated in beds to also provide that a healthy glow. Unfortunately, many of these are made with less than favorable light that could cause a lot of damage.

Such equipment should undoubtedly be avoided to protect the skin from premature aging and to protect against the development of skin cancer. Aside from that, people should still get out and enjoy the outdoors by wearing some protective clothing, and of course, sunscreen only after they have gotten their dose of vitamin D. All this of course must be done at times when the sun is not at its peak.
