Solutions To The Harmful Effects Of Uncontrolled Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


It seems like forever that people have been sitting out in the sun to get a color. Unfortunately, this practice comes with its own set of very harmful effects. On the other hand, the sun also provides vitamin D, which is best absorbed in this way and is extremely vital for overall good health. Many health problems can develop if someone is deficient in this vitamin, and many north of the equator are actually vitamin D deficient. Below, discover the alternatives to natural tanning.

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.

Protecting oneself is the most important way to deal with the sun. No one can avoid it altogether, but being cautious with the UV rays is the way to go. For one thing, avoid exposure to the sun at peak times, and especially if the UV Index is high. Wear protective clothing, including a thick rimmed hat that will protect and the face from the harmful UV rays.

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.

Thankfully, there are solutions that exist, so people can get the best of both worlds while remaining safe. For starters, there are available lotions that are applied directly onto the skin, and in time develop a darker tone. The better ones go on without any streaks, developing gradually for a more natural tan.

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.
