The story behind tanning spray usage

Everybody wants to share a beautiful bronzed, tanned and fit body. Nowadays, going to the gym goes hand in hand with dispatching a golden, healthy tan. But isn’t the tanning concept a little unhealthy from the start? Acquiring a dark tan may cause skin cancer, at least this is the warning you get from dermatologists. However, in the modern society, a white pale skin is a considered to be a fashion flaw and therefore many choose to risk their health over their social position and look. Some look for a long lasting tan that is carefully maintained for the course of the whole year. Other would require it just on a special event, like a weeding or prior to a vacation spent on the sea-side (after all, exposing to the sun rays with a wintry white skin may prove to be a misguided action). For random reasons, the need for a quick tan on special occasions is tremendously increasing and baring in mind the hazards of direct sun rays or using indoor tanning bed lamps, many are looking for safer alternative solutions to this. One of these options would be the usage of tanning spray.

However, it wasn’t like this in the past. For a great period of time, in the history, a white pale skin was a sign of aristocracy, meaning that you were enjoying a good job, not a dangerous, bad paid and outdoor working place. The person responsible for chancing this is, apparently, considered to be Coco Chanel, a famous French fashion designer. Looks like, she accidentally had too much sun exposure during her trip to Cannes on a yacht and turned out with a dark to brown tan. This caused an instant stir among the celebrities of that time. Basically, everyone, from movie stars to politicians wanted to copy her style and pose with a great tan. The rich immediately start nurturing their tan on sunny places, while the poor worked on their tan by lying in the sun rays for hours. The percent of skin cancer appearances was growing in alarming rhythm. It wasn’t until the 70s that suntan lotions appeared along the first tanning beds and spray booths. However, the misguided usage of tanning lamps continued to cause skin cancer and the FDA started looking more into this matter. Their conclusion was that the tanning beds were as hazardous as the natural sun rays, if not more damaging since people were using them on a high intensity for the whole year looking for long lasting and steady results.

A good choice on discount tanning lotion

Nowadays there is a large offer of indoor tanning products that can be used by customers all around the world. Every manufacturer is looking to improve and innovate its products each year, adding a new dimension to the competition in order to gain more share market.
However, there aren’t many ways one could enhance an already good product. Adding a certain scent, providing more skin care by involving a new moisturizing agent or changing the tanning technology behind the scheme is always an option but for sure, for most of the new products it is all about remarketing and rebranding. In this sense, it makes a difference to look for already so called consecrated lotions, proven to be fairly effective and reliable then looking for something new, more fashionable. This is why it makes perfectly sense to buy a discount indoor tanning lotion rather than buying the latest merchandise on the market.

Tanning bed supplies

Although for centuries tanning was associated with summer and sea-side, modern technology has made it possible to acquire and maintain it for 12 months a year without needing the actual sunlight. Of course, I am talking about indoor tanning and foremost about tanning beds.

Usually, you could find them in an indoor tanning salon or, if you can afford it, you can even bring it at home. So what would the tanning bed supplies consist of? Well, I think it’s naturally to think about tanning bed lotions. They work as a tanning accelerators enabling, at the same time, the skin protection we all desire and need. They can be applied before or even after you came out of the tanning bed. That is possible because the tanning process continues long after you are no longer in the sight of the light bulbs. The tanning beds lotions are controlling the tanning process by increasing the body’s production of melanin and that’s why it contains this special amino acid called tyrosine. Melanin is the body compound that accelerates and controls the darkening process of your skin cells. Moreover, this tyrosine is also known to be a powerful antioxidant which means that it will help your skin by properly cleaning its pores. Most of these tanning bed supplies also contain Vitamin E which is an antioxidant too and will help cleaning the pores as well and will reduce the visibility of scars or any skin flaws.

The differences between Sunscreen and Suntan Lotion

Most people use the words sunscreen and suntan lotion to describe the same thing. Although these products may share same characteristics, there are some differences that need to be taken seriously into account, especially when it comes to spending quality time in the sun or trying to get a natural tan look artificially.

We will talk about them separately getting to the common terms they share and then see the discrepancies between them.

First, let see what does suntan lotion means: usually, it refers to any specific kind of lotion that should be worn while spending a day in the sun. The main feature of the suntan lotion is to minimize the chances of any sunburn to occur while still letting the sun rays do their job which is to darken the skin. However, the accent here is put on controlling the skin’s exposure to the damaging UV rays rather than actually trying to protect the skin by filtering them out. Therefore, sun tanning lotions will not emphasize on reducing the possibility of the sunburn to occur or any damaging effect it may stir on your skin cells.
