subject: The Best Tan Is Not From The Sun [print this page] Tanning is when the skin creates the brown-colored pigment called melanin, to protect it against the harmful UV rays in sunlight, but operates equally with artificial UV radiation. It's actually a natural process like antibodies.
Don't you just love that perfect bronzed tan? Or that deep dark tan you get after hours on the beach...
But too much of everything is always bad. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause significant damage to your skin.
Over exposure to the Sun can give you the following:
"Wrinkles
"Sun Spots or Freckles
"Sun Burn
"Skin Cancer
Getting your skin tanned is supposed to be about beautification or about having fun under the sun(preferably by the beach) not about getting wrinkled and getting sick with cancer.
If you are to be exposed in sun, you should always get your skin protected by sunblock with high SPF (can be used as an everyday protection from the sun) or if your at the beach and purposely getting your skin tanned, used a good tanning lotion to accelerate the tanning process.
Now, why expose your skin to the dangerous UV rays of the sun when all you want is too look good on you sleek sexy night gown. I think the Best Tan can be from alternative tanning methods like spray tan, airbrush tan, tanning machines, tanning lotions, even tanning vitamins where you get tanned from within. These so called fake tan can actually give you the best tan!
