What Is The Best Sun Tan Cream To Face The Hot Sun

What Is The Best Sun Tan Cream To Face The Hot Sun


by Haywood Hunter


One of the most essential cosmetic products selling off the shelves during the summer months is the sun tanning lotion. Also known as a sunscreen, it helps absorb or reflect the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun and prevents our exposed skin from getting sun burnt. One should understand what is the best tanning lotion that suits their needs.

In that breath, it is good to understand the ingredients that make the lotions. In order to reflect the ultraviolet radiations, the manufacturers use zinc and titanium dioxides which are physical absorbents of the sunlight. Those sun blocks that work by absorbing the UV rays of sunlight are called chemical lotions and they comprise of organic compounds.

The sun cream was developed by Franz Greiter in 1938 but today he is more popularly known as the man who founded the SPF or the Sun Protection Factor. He came up with this revolutionary concept in 1962. Today the SPF is used as a benchmark or standard to measure the capacity of the creme to protect the skin from sunlight. Today we observe that most advertisers use this criterion to market their brand.

By SPF strength, we measure the limit of UV radiation that could be considered harmless for us if we apply the particular product. Thus the lower the SPF, the more you should be sure of avoiding this item. So when you need to choose from many brands, it is easy to come to a conclusion by looking up at the SPF number printed on the packing.

Once you are clear about the SPF strength, you need to assess your skin type and your lifestyle. A particular brand might not suit all kinds of skin hence its best to choose one which suits your skin. Also hobbies like swimming washes off the applied sunscreen. So if you frequent the pool, you need to get a creme that does not get washed off easily. Another factor to be remembered is the amount of creme applied and how soon would you apply again.

For example, those who sit in their offices most part of the day do not need that much protection as others. Hence, the latter category of people would benefit from using cremes with higher SPF. Also, contrary to applying every 2 to 3 hours, new findings indicate that applying once around 30 minutes before stepping out and reapplying again after about the same period of time would is best to protect the user from the harsh sun.

There also are indoor tan products. These do not have a SPF and they just help in improving melanin production for the skin. Also, they keep the skin moisturized as tanning generally dehydrates the skin. They thus keep the skin healthy and smooth.

Manufacturers use natural oils such as tea oil and green tea extracts to make the sunless tan lotions. Recent research has come up with sunscreens that can be used in water; under heat conditions and even if we sweat. Hence, with a proper clarity on the benefits of using these cosmetics, one can discover what is the best tanning lotion suiting ones needs.
