Sun Tanning

Self-tanner should only be applied to healthy, unbroken skin. If a person is allergic to any of the ingredients, they should not apply self-tanner. Indeed, it would be wise to do a small patch test, just to be sure there is no reaction before applying it over large areas.

Yes. Sunblock is very important and without it you may develop diseases or illnesses such as skin cancer. So always wear sunblock when it is hot outside and you feel you are in danger of getting sunburn.

toothpaste is good, rub your hands together for about a minute and then mix with a little water. The whitening agent in toothpaste is going to remove tan spray from your palms, make sure you do around your fingernails and between your fingers.

When you are underwater, the UV light can only penetrate a short distance. But if you are swimming on the surface, the layer of water between you and the Sun generally isn't enough to protect you.

Yes, that is exactly what it is designed for, as tanning - any amount tanning - is damage to your skin. There is no way to reverse it, and it's ultimate destination is skin cancer.

yes, of course it is. it does not kill you for a start and you dont have to get sunburnt to get it,,,, or lie around all day onyer hol when u want to be out and about doing fun things.... and fake tan does not leave strips.

Yess I Totally Agree..fake is better than natural ne thing.. When a man cees a girl with long brown natural hair a natural light tan and no make up does he get an attraction?More Than Likely No..Or When He Sees agirl with long peroxide blonde hair caked makeup and orange tan ..Will he get attracted? more than likely Yess

Yes. I'm not sure what those are exactly yet. I know there are because Dita Von Teese doesn't eat them in order to stay white.. Which is why I'm looking too.. Any foods with Canthaxanthin in it. ketchup, Ocean Spray cranberry juice, etc.

It's also found found naturally in foods such as: Mushrooms, eggs, fish.

Fish: Carp, Golden Mullet, Sea bream, Trush Wrasse, Pacific Salmon, Farm raised trout.

Canthaxanthin isn't exactly good for you. Google it.

You can't exactly go out for 2 minutes and expect a tan. Also, you have to wear sunblock because even with it on you will STILL get tan. (Not saying you need spf 80, but 15 or 8 would be good for a tan...a few tans is not worth a battle against skin cancer).

Tanning depends on your skin type too. So its hard to say because if you have very light skin, you might get a little burnt and turn tan (but its not very dark or anything), or if you have the skin of my best friend, you tan very quickly and noticeably.

Like I said it depends on your skin type, but either way wear at least a little sunscreen.

It depends on the ingredients and how you store it. Paraben-free lotion is very marketable right now for skin care lines and tanning salons, but lotions with parabens often extend the shelf life of indoor tanning lotions. Make sure the lotion you buy wasn't sitting on a shelf for years. Most tanning salons offer higher end lotions with higher quality ingredients than a lotion you could could buy at a supermarket. They contain things like dihydroxyacetone, natural bronzers, silicones, caffeine, tingles, coolants, blushes, vitamins, firming and toning formulas, anti-oxidants, after tan odor minimizers, etc to help nourish your skin, optimize your tanning capability, and overall enhance your tanning experience. Also, storing your indoor tanning lotion is important. Keep your bottle somewhere at room temperature. Don't leave it in a freezing cold car or a steaming hot garage when you are not using it. The temperature change can damage ingredients in the lotions. Also, never buy indoor tanning lotions online. You would never know what it really is or how it was stored.

no because suntan lotion is sunscreen that will not let you tan or get sunburnt

No-- you can only get a tan in UV lights

No, you don't get freckles from sunburn, but for some people when they try to tan, they get freckles instead of a tan. So I hope I answered your question.

Whether it's a tanning bed or outside in the sun... MODERATION is the key. When you burn, you put your skin at risk for future problems. Slow exposure and not burning will give you the tan you're looking for with the minimum about of risk. Plus, hydrating the skin is critical when tanning .

Tanning is not a safe alternative to sunning. They used to say that you should get a nice healthy tan. There is really no such thing as a healthy tan. When your skin darkens it is because it is cooking. I know a lot of people that have had skin cancer and wished that they didn't go after that "healthy tan". If you insist on getting a tan then you should have your parents or guardians ask a tanning salon if they have an age restriction.

Depending on the skin of the person, he or she may become sunburnt if they're exposed to sunlight for too long. More severe consequences include heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

it means the amount of protection you get from the suns rays

Tanning with a sunburn is not a good idea because your skin needs time to heal itself. If you tan with a sunburn you could cause more damage to your skin and make the sunburn worse. Most likely resulting in skin peeling, increased chance of wrinkling and cancer. The best thing to do is wait for your sunburn to heal and make sure that you use the proper tanning lotions while tanning. Indoor tanning and outdoor tanning require different types of lotions and expose you to different types of UV light.

Getting a sunless spray tan, as in airbrush, mystic, or versaspa will give you a tan in a number of hours. Also using bronzing lotion will contribute to a quickertan. If using tanning beds advanced tanning lotions with tingle tan your skin faster as does using more advanced, high-tech tanning beds.

No hot water wont give you a sunburn but it sure will burn you! Sunburn is caused by overexposure to the sun's or a tanning bed's ultraviolet rays. Hot water will make a sunburn "burn" if you take a hot shower after getting a sunburn.

No tanning lotion works by moisturizing your skin and returning the vitamins and nutrients that are removed when you are sweating while tanning. You get Skin Cancer or Melanoma in tanning beds by the amounts of UVA and UVB.

Tanning doesn't 'give' you cancer.

However tanning, especially artificial tanning, increases sun damage to your skin. With increased damage to your skin comes the increased chance of developing skin cancer.

When you are exposed to certain wavelengths of light (UVA & UVB), they can penetrate through your skins epidermis and damage the deeper skin DNA, causing errors in your DNA, and increasing the likelihood of unchecked cell growth and regulation. (which cancer is, uncontrolled growth)

Apparently you can get cancer from everything these days. Having said that, I would have to say no. Getting your tan from a bottle is probably one of the safest forms of tanning yet.

Tanning begins as soon as you step out into the sun. UV rays hit your skin and start to break down the DNA in your. In order for the body to protect itself to prevent further damage to your body, it starts to produce melanin. The more melanin in your body, the darker the body becomes and the more protected you are from the sun. So someone who has spent a lot of time in the sun can stand out in the sun for longer periods of time without the risk of sunburn. A suntan needs to be gradual, so it is better to tan for only a little bit at a time and with the right sort of protection like using sunscreen.
