Ways To Do A Suntan Lotion Review

By Haywood Hunter


In today's society, most people are trying to live a healthier lifestyle. One product we buy on a regular basis is suntan lotion. It is important for a consumer to do a thorough suntan lotion review before purchasing a product for a family.

Recently the Food and Drug Administration better known as the FDA made some changes to how producers can label suntan lotion. Labeling was not trustworthy preceding this change. Today the bottle must have the protection of UVA (ultraviolet-A) and UVB (ultraviolet-B) separated so the consumer is aware of how much protection they are getting from each type of ray. Consumers will also notice there are not as many containers labeled "waterproof" or "all-day" because the makers of the lotions must now prove those claims before labeling their products with these claims.

There are numerous choices the consumer has for sun protection it is just a matter of preference. Customers can choose lotion, spray, cream, ointments, or gels to apply before going into the sun. There are separate products available specifically for the lips, eyes, and nose. Just check the SPF to see how much protection these products give.



Customers will notice numbers on the bottles that read SPF 30 in varying degrees. SPF refers to the sun protection factor the product offers. It does not mean you can stay in the sun 30 times longer than normal but it is referring to the amount of time under the same exposure type that a person can remain in the sun without burning. Numerous variables affect how much exposure a person needs before burning.

The best way to make sure you do not burn in the sun is to rub on the lotion or cream liberally. Most of the time consumers do not use enough of the product and end up sun burned even though they put on sunscreen. Make sure you put a lot of sunscreen on the first time and do it at least 30 minutes before you go outside.

Sunscreen can offer protection from UVA rays, UVB rays or both. A broad-spectrum sunscreen, which offers protection from both rays, is suggested for most people. However, baby's less than 6 months old cannot use sunscreen because the chemicals used to protect from the sun may harm their skin. Always pick one that offers the highest possible SPF.

Extended sun exposure can cause sunburns, cancer, and premature wrinkling. To maintain a healthy lifestyle and protect your skin form damage you should buy the suntan lotion product that gives them the most protection from the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. Remember to reapply every two hours and apply generously.
