From childhood, people are warned about the danger of too much sun. Protection from UV rays is provided with sunscreen, but today the same results can be achieved with sun tan lotion with the added bonus that a golden color will result. Both of these products have different ingredients and produce different results, but today's desire to achieve that perfect golden look can be achieved easier than ever.

It has long been known that solar radiation on an unprotected body, can cause skin cancer (melanomas), as well as severe burns. There is SPF in sunscreen which blocks the rays, but still can achieve that golden look although it often takes longer. It is still possible to get a slight sunburn which often disappears in a few days. Additionally, it must be reapplied whenever an individual leaves the water.

For many years people just lounged in sunlight to get a tan, without using protection. They did not realize that they were causing their skin to age and wrinkle, making them look older. They were also exposed to radiation from the sun's rays which resulted in life-threatening conditions when they got older.

Tanning lotion available today is especially designed to ensure that one has the desired skin color after exposure to the sun. It allows a person to achieve this end very quickly and with a very natural look. It has more of an outdoor exposure look than that achieved in a tanning booth and many today also include SPF to maximize protection from the sun.

Many people who wish to achieve this look year-round take advantage of tanning beds and booths. These products are constructed to imitate the sun's rays through fluorescent UVA lamps and work well at replicating natural tans acquired from exposure on a beach. Lotions for this kind of tanning are specially formulated as the outdoor type would damage the acrylics of the machinery.

There is also the option of chemical tanning. This is achieved with airbrushing, lotions, wipes, sprays, or gels. Although the desired outcome can be achieved, often at less cost, obviously results are not as long lasting. It should be remembered this does not offer any protection from the sun's rays.

Regardless of the option selected, sun tan lotion is a key ingredient in achieving the perfect golden color. Once the color is perfect, that white dress sparkles and others will take notice. The hardest part is finding the perfect color the first time with a good product.
