Pros And Cons Of Sun Self Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Having a good tan is a way of improving the appearance of a person. There are various different ways of achieving a tan that a person can use. The most commonly used one is the sun self tan although some people prefer using the sunless lotions to achieve a self tan. There are various benefits and disadvantages associated with sun self tan.



Cost plays a key role in determining the type of service a client may go for. Sunless lotion that can get the skin tanned are quite expensive. There are also sprays which may be used that are expensive too. For a person who may not have so much money they would still want a glowing skin, self tan is thus essential. Sunbathing is free and one does not have to pay anything to have their skin tanned.

When one is exposed to sun rays, their skin produces melanin which makes one to have a tanned skin. This is a very natural way of having glowing skin unlike when one using lotions that may contain chemicals which can be very dangerous to the skin. The effect of a self tan from the sun is much more and effective than from when one is using a lotion.



Vitamin D is very important in the body since it enables the bones to form well. Lack of this essential vitamin can lead to a person having rickets which may not be treatable. As someone is letting their skin to self tan, they can also get vitamin D which is essential in their bodies.

Most sunless lotions, take time before one can notice the impact or the change of their skin. This therefore means that one will have to use them for a considerable amount of time before they can see the change. This also translates to more money that needs to be spent since one has to follow the instructions of application for the required period of time. The sun is very effective since it immediately enables the skin to produce melanin that causes the skin to darken naturally and within a short period of time.

Skin damage can be brought about by too much exposure to ultra violet rays of the sun without any protection. One can even get skin cancer due to exposure to these dangerous rays during self tan. The greatest disadvantage is that one will have to be in the sun without sunscreen for several minutes each day. Exposure to sun rays without SPF protection can be quite disastrous to an individual.

Most people generally want to look good and young. This is however not possible since one has to grow old at one point in time. Even if one is expected to have wrinkles at a certain age, too much exposure to the ultra violet rays during sun self tan can lead to one developing wrinkles must faster than they should have.

The benefits of sun self tan are quite many and one should consider this method. It is however essential for a person to visit a doctor who can also advise them appropriately. This will ensure that one does not achieve a tanned skin at the cost of their health.
