An Effective Way Of Getting The Best Sun Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Sun creams and sun lotions have proven to be a great way of protecting the skin against the sun when going outdoors to get the best sun tan. Unfortunately, skin cancer is still as rampant as it was a few years ago. As a matter of fact, skin cancer and other diseases of the skin are at a record high today more than ever before. This begs the question as to what the problem could be for all those people looking for the best sun tan.



One of the first mistakes that most people make is in the purchase of sun lotions and creams. For the best sun tan, you have to ensure you invest in a good lotion that will protect you against both UVB and UVA rays. Most of the time, sun lotions will only protect your skin against UVB rays.

Most people get sunburns in the name of getting the best sun tan because they did not protect against these UVB rays. While at it, people should also ensure they invest in good quality creams for protection against skin cancer. The good news is that there is enough information on the internet on how to get the best sun tan and protect against harmful UVs based on different skin types.



Consumers also make the mistake of using insufficient amounts of SPF coverage in their pursuit of the best sun tan. People should work at ensuring they get the highest possible SPF and this can only be made possible when consumers use the recommended amounts of the SPF products.

Most people will always get a product with say an SPF of 45, and end up using only a quarter of the recommended amount just so they can save and scale the product. In simple interpretation, when consumers use a quarter of the recommended amount, they should be ready to get a quarter of the SPF rated protection. No doubt getting the best sun tan will equally be compromised.

The application of the best sun tan cream or lotion also plays an integral role in determining how even and consistent the best sun tan results would be. Consumers should massage thoroughly and evenly, and apply at least an hour before heading outdoors, and sometimes even 2 hours prior to, in case one will be going into the waters.

Once you are out in the sun for about 30-60 minutes, you should add some more and keep on reapplying your best sun tan lotion or cream every 2 hours. This may seem like so much effort, but it is very important when you want to get the best protection from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Finally, the best sun tan can only be got when one selects the right timing to go basking. Sun bathing when the sun is at its hottest i. E. Between noon and 3 pm may not be the wisest idea. This is because the intensity is quite strong and may cause more harm than good on the skin. Wearing protective clothing and ensuring one remains in shaded areas when the sun is extremely hot is strongly recommended for the best possible sun tan.
