Sun Tan Spray Fights The Bite Of The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


Sun tan spray has been a popular product since the mid 1900s. When applied to exposed skin, it acts as protection against harmful UV (Ultra Violet) rays. There are many brands on the market. You can choose from lotions, gels, creams or sprays.

Sunscreen should never be confused with suntan oil. The oil is made for people who wants to tan quickly. It actually strengthens the heat of the sun to ensure a deeper and quick tan. This product does not provide any protection and is not meant to do so. Sunscreens like sun tan cream reflects and filters the heat to protect the skin against harmful rays. When buying a product for a day at the beach, make sure to choose right.

The sunscreen products, also called sunblock, is meant to protect the skin against long periods of exposure to the sun. Never leave it behind when you will be outdoors for an extended time, especially on a hot day. Another use for sunscreen products is in skin lightening products. Lighter skin can easily be damaged by harsh sunlight.

Whether you choose a small tube or spray on version of the cream, it is necessary to spread it evenly over all exposed skin. A generous blob in the palm of your hand should be sufficient to cover an adult body.

The traditional belief is that the best way to apply sun cream is treatment two to three hours before you go outside. This is now being challenged by researchers who say you need to apply the product fifteen to thirty minutes before going outside and then again after being outdoors for the same period. After a swim the product should be applied again, except if it is water resistant.

There is no best type available for babies. Babies should not be exposed to the sun at all as their skin is too delicate to cope with the harsh sun. As adults we are all aware of the dangers of excessive exposure. We should never subject the precious new skin of an infant to the unforgiving rays. Seek advice from a physician if there is no avoiding exposing your infant to the sun. Not all protection products are suitable for skin younger than six months. Baby's tender, sensitive skin may react badly to sun lotions.

Older children love to have fun at the pool or seaside on a hot, summer day. It is vitally important that their young bodies get maximum protection. SPF 30 provides protection for most of the day. For example if you get sun burn in 10 minutes, SPF 30 will protect you for 300 minutes. If you use SPF 15, you will be protected from the sun for 150 minutes.

The sun is a cause of skin cancer. It is dangerous and must be treated as such. For this reason the American Cancer Society recommends the use of sunblocks. When you use it though, keep in mind that it van wash of or wipe off. Re-apply when you think it is necessary. There is no sense in paying a very high price of fun in the sun, especially not if sun tan cream can prevent it.
