Spray tanning is a safer option than tanning beds or exposing the skin to too much sun.
Many people choose their
clothes based largely on
their own unique fashion
sense. But the clothes people
wear can serve a greater
purpose than broadcasting
their sense of style to the
world. The Skin Cancer Foundation
notes that clothing is
the fi rst line of defense against
the sun’s harmful ultraviolet,
or UV, rays.
The right clothing can absorb
and block ultraviolet radiation,
and the Foundation
recommends wearing such attire
as part of an effective sunprotection
regimen. When purchasing
clothing, consumers are urged to
determine each article’s ultraviolet
protection factor, or UPF. The UPF factor
indicates what fraction of the sun’s
UVA and UVB radiation can penetrate
the fabric and reach the skin. Clothing
with a factor of 50 will only allow
1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to
reach the skin.
The rating system is relatively new,
so consumers in North America may
not fi nd UPF ratings listed on the labels
of clothing they typically purchase
from their favorite retailers. In
addition, the sun protective clothing
industry in North America is self-regulated,
which means some, but not all,
manufacturers’ claims regarding the
safety of their clothing may be dubious.
However, consumers concerned
about the safety of the clothing they
wear when spending time in the sun
can speak with dermatologists about
fi nding clothing manufacturers with
strong reputations of producing sun
protective clothing that can protect
them from the sun’s UV rays.
Many men and women want to
have a sun-kissed look come
summer, and that may drive
them to spend hours out in the sun
or inside tanning salons.
Repeated, unprotected exposure
to ultraviolet rays, whether
from the sun or tanning beds, can
cause skin damage, eye damage,
immune system suppression, and
skin cancer, according to a variety
of health sources. The Skin Cancer
Foundation says each year there
are more new cases of skin cancer
in the United States than there are
incidences of cancers of the breast,
prostate, lung, and colon combined.
About 90 percent of nonmelanoma
skin cancers are associated with exposure
to ultraviolet radiation.
While a tan can make a person
appear healthy, over time ultraviolet
exposure can accelerate the effects
of aging, causing noticeable changes
to the skin. Overexposure to these
rays can cause skin to sag as the
skin loses its ability to go back into
place after stretching. Sun exposure
can cause fine and coarse wrinkles,
freckles, mottled pigmentation, dilation
of small blood vessels under the
skin, and cancerous tumors.
Exposure to radiation of any kind
puts a person at risk for skin ailments.
Cumulative ultraviolet exposure
may even lead to melanoma
— the most serious form of skin cancer
that is responsible for 75 percent
of all skin cancer deaths — later in
life.
Those who want to look tan can
still rely on artificial means to
achieve a sun-kissed glow:
Bronzers: Bronzing powders are
cosmetics that are brushed on the
skin and typically applied to the areas
of the body that would be touched
by the sun, such as the bridge of the
nose, apples of the cheeks, collarbone,
and shoulders. Bronzers are
commonly used to contour the skin
to de-emphasize certain features or
play up others. A bronzer will wash
off with soap and water or a cosmetic
removal cleanser.
Sunless tanner: Sunless tanners
come in sprays, lotions, and even
moisturizers. Sunless tanners have
been around in some form since the
1960s, and they work by employing
DHA, a colorless sugar carbohydrate
that interacts with dead skin
cells of the epidermis. The sugar
causes a chemical reaction that results
in a color change. Results may
take a few applications and can last
up to a week.
Spray tanning: Many spas and
salons offer spray-tanning services.
A safe dye is sprayed on to the skin
to temporarily change its color.
Spray tans should be applied by a
qualified and experienced person to
avoid streaking or a hue that seems
unnatural. Once set, the pigment
should not easily wipe off the skin,
but it’s best to use caution around
light-colored fabrics.
Tanning lovers have many cosmetic
choices when it comes to giving
their skin a healthy glow. Such
options not only provide desired results,
but also reduce a person’s risk
of developing potentially harmful
conditions that result from overexposure
to ultraviolet rays.
