1 Sun Tanning
2 Salon Tanning
3 Sunless Tanning
Tanning in the sun is probably the most inexpensive and favorite way to tan. We love the outdoors and the rays of the sun giving us the feeling of warmth while giving our skin the tan we desire. There are many suntan lotions and sun blocks on the market today. Choosing the best one can be difficult. Sunscreen absorbs the Ultra Violet (UV) light so it does not reach your skin. Sun tanning lotions should contain a SPF to keep the UV rays from your skin. Sun block physically blocks the suns Ultra Violet Light Rays as well as Ultra Beyond Violet (UVB) rays.
Salon tanning is also a favorite way to tan. We go in a private room, lie down in the tanning bed and shut the lid. We can listen to music or just relax in the quiet privacy of your tanning room. Tanning can take anywhere from 8-15 minutes a visit. Newer tanning beds have iPOD hook-ups. There are many suntan lotions on the market to use for salon tanning. A lot of the products are bronzers that jump start the tanning process. Most of the bronzers do not contain a SPF.
The last form of tanning is sunless tanning. Using a sunless tanner is quick and you can put it on in the privacy of your own home. Sunless tanners can also choose just certain parts of the body to have the natural look of a tan such as face, arms, or legs only. Be careful when choosing a sunless tanner. You want your skin to look like you have a natural tan. If you are very prone to getting a sun burn a dark sunless tanner would not be for you. Be sure to read the bottle and match the color of the sunless tanner to your skin type. Even though sunless tanners are temporary lasting 5-7 days it is also the safest way to have a natural tan.
Whatever tanning method you choose be sure to choose the product that fits your needs. Read the back of the bottles so you know what kind of product you are purchasing to match your skin type. Now, go get that Tan.
