How Moms Can Use Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


You will find that you have a lot of different choices when you are looking at tanning lotion. Each one of these is made for different purposes so you need to know what you are looking for to avoid any possible damages to your skin. Of course you should know that the word tanning means to make one's skin darker.



Three different choices are available for you to be able to get a tan. Going outside and into the sunlight is one of these. This form actually uses UV radiation to help your skin to tan. This is something that many people are warned about today because of possible damages.

Another way that you can get a tan is with a one of the special lotions that can either be rubbed onto the skin or even sprayed onto the skin. Today this is perhaps the safest choice. You must keep from having a skin color that you are not happy with by being very careful.



The third choice is one that requires you to go to an indoor tanning area where you can get some safer UV rays. This is a great way to increase the amount of Vitamin D that you have in your body as well. Even though this gives you exposure to UV rays there are some benefits that you will have that you can not get if you do not have them.

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.

There are actually three options for you to look at with lotions which include those that will help you to get a natural looking tan without UV rays, called self-tanning lotions; those that are going to keep your tan longer, called enhancers; and those that are going to help you to avoid damages from the sun with SPF, called sunscreens. The ones that protect your skin from UV rays are made specifically to be used outdoors. In the past these might have been harder to find but today you do not have to look far because SPF is found in almost all lotion choices as well as in make up.

There are a couple of ways in which the choice to tan yourself can work. The first is that they dye your skin in a similar fashion to how hair dye works. The other is that they actually use a chemical oxidation process with the protein cells, which are mostly melanin, on the outer or top layer of skin.

When you are looking for the right tanning lotion the last choice is an enhancer. This choice actually works in two ways, one of which is to help you to be protected more against the UV rays from the sun because it builds up the melanin in the skin. This has a second effect as well which is to help you when you are tanning to get darker.
