By Haywood Hunter


Most people like having a good self tan. It greatly enhances their appearance especially if it is done well. A person can either use sun or sunless options to have their skin tanned. Whatever option a person may settle on each has specific advantages and disadvantages that are attributed to it. There are several benefits and disadvantages of sun self tan.



Cost plays a key role in determining the type of service a client may go for. Sunless lotion that can get the skin tanned are quite expensive. There are also sprays which may be used that are expensive too. For a person who may not have so much money they would still want a glowing skin, self tan is thus essential. Sunbathing is free and one does not have to pay anything to have their skin tanned.

When an individual is exposed to sun rays during self tan process melanin is produced by the skin. Melanin is the one that is responsible for making the skin darker. This therefore is a much effective way of having glowing skin. Some of the sprays for tanning people use contain dangerous chemicals which can cause great damage to the skin. It is better for one to use the sun to get a tan.



Each individual requires vitamin D in their bodies. This is a very essential nutrient and the lack of it can lead to one having rickets. When one is therefore exposed to sun rays during a self tan process, they not only tan their skins but they are also getting vitamin D from the sun which is important for the proper functioning of the body.

Most sunless lotions, take time before one can notice the impact or the change of their skin. This therefore means that one will have to use them for a considerable amount of time before they can see the change. This also translates to more money that needs to be spent since one has to follow the instructions of application for the required period of time. The sun is very effective since it immediately enables the skin to produce melanin that causes the skin to darken naturally and within a short period of time.

The sun is good but if not made use of appropriately it can lead to great skin damage. Exposure to ultra violet rays without SPF protection while one is self tanning can lead to one getting cancer. Several studies have indicated that too much exposure to ultra violet rays during self tanning can be dangerous considering someone has to stay in the sun for around ten minutes without sunscreen in order to achieve the tan they desire.

Most people generally want to look good and young. This is however not possible since one has to grow old at one point in time. Even if one is expected to have wrinkles at a certain age, too much exposure to the ultra violet rays during sun self tan can lead to one developing wrinkles must faster than they should have.

There are quite a number of benefits of sun self tan. One must however evaluate their options and the advantages and disadvantages of various ways of achieving a tan before they can settle on one way. Self sun tan however is more beneficial than various methods.
