Sun Tan Spray Fights The Danger Of Deadly Sunlight

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.



These must not be confused with another kind of product, suntan oil. Whereas sunblock protects the skin by reflecting and filtering dangerous rays to minimize damage, the oils actually magnifies the impact or the sun's heat. This is to assist the person using it in obtaining a deep and fast tan. When you want to spend a summer's day on the beach, make sure you buy the right product.

The cream is also known as sunblock or suntan lotion. It is an essential sunscreen product and offers protection to anyone whose body is exposed to the sun for long periods. This must never be left behind when you plan to spend a summer day on the beach. Skin lightening products have sunscreen to protect lightened skin because light skin is more susceptible to sun damage than darker skin.

Whatever kind of package you get it in, the cream should be applied to all skin that is exposed to the sun. For most adults, one squirt should be close to enough to cover all the areas that needs it. It is also available in a spray.

Often people will say suntan spray should be re-applied every two to three hours. Some researchers have found that applying it fifteen to 30 minutes before going outside into bright sunlight, and then re-applying fifteen to thirteen minutes after exposure started, offers the best protection. After swimming or sweating it must be re-applied again. There are products on the market that resist water and perspiration.

It should never be necessary to use sunblock on babies because they should not be in the hot sun. Their skin is much to delicate for the sunlight and also for the sunblock. Adults know the sun can be dangerous. Babies do not. If there is no other way out than to take baby into the direct sunlight, consult a doctor toe find out how best to safeguard the skin. Babies may react to some products.

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.
