Sunblock in the solarium, in the sun. Which is better to choose for fair skin, pregnant women, children

The solarium is visited by those who do not want to lag behind the bronze beauties, and there is not enough time to visit the beach. Using a cream designed for tanning in a solarium and enhancing ultraviolet rays, you can quickly get a chocolate shade that cannot be distinguished from a regular tan.

Why do I need a sunblock

Cream for tanning in a solarium should perform several tasks:

• moisturize and give the skin a special nutrition;
• protect from the harmful effects of UV rays;
• prevent the appearance of burns;
• contribute to the creation of an even tan with the desired shade;
• stimulate the metabolism in the cells of the skin defect, as a result of which the cell is renewed.

A cream intended for tanning in a solarium has a different effect, unlike what can be seen in the hands of vacationers on the beach:

• it does not have filters that repel UV rays, because this fiction becomes unnecessary, dumps allow a certain number of rays to pass through;
• the protective function is simply necessary, because for many people the skin is of a light type, which is very sensitive;
• tanning lays in even layers gradually, tanning cream “attracts” the sun’s rays to the skin;
• the components of the cream stimulate the renewal and increase of melanin, which stimulates the darkening of the body.

Many tanning products are available:

• a developer cream is necessary for those who have just come to the solarium; applied in the first 3 visits;
• tanning agents give the right shade to tan;
• bronzing creams enhance the effect of UV; This option is used by those who want to get a bronze shade of the body.

Varieties of creams depending on the purpose

In any beauty salon you can find a large assortment of cosmetics for tanning salons:

Tanning cream release form in the solarium

In cosmetic stores you can find a wide range of creams and lotions.

Creams in tanning salons are used to prevent the aging process of the skin, which, under the influence of ultraviolet rays, can develop rapidly.

The following creams are effective:

• Soleo’s product is a brand among cosmetics designed for artificial tanning, thanks to subtle scents with fruity notes.
• The Caribbean Gold brand is also loved by women, as the tan is smooth and saturated, while the skin has a healthy appearance and retains a natural shade.
• Using Emerald Bay products, a protective film is created on the skin, which contributes to high-quality tanning. The tanning tone is determined by the composition of the selected product.

Many women prefer to use other options, because it is difficult to apply creams with an even layer, they are absorbed slowly.

• Spray lotion is instantly distributed on the skin.
• Serum contains a high concentration of coloring substances, it is better to add it to creams.
• Spray – water is convenient if you need to even out the color of the tan.
• Mousse for oily skin: well absorbed, slightly drying the skin.
• Napkins. They are necessary if it is necessary to adjust the color of the face and hands. They are saturated with anti-tanning components.

Disadvantages of spray-protected sunscreens

Going to the beach or to the solarium, many women prefer to take a spray with them, since it is convenient to apply.

However, cosmetics in this form have a number of significant drawbacks:

• The spray is sprayed with a wide spray fountain. It is possible that its particles can enter the nasal cavity. The consequences can be very different – from sore nose, redness of the mucous membrane to asthmatic cough.
• The substance is distributed unevenly over the skin, drains, so you have to grind it.
• The spray consumption is quite large, and its price is much higher than conventional sunblocks.
• Some manufacturers may supply a low-quality product that can stick, rinse off quickly and smell bad.
• The composition of the spray to create a drying effect has alcohol. If the skin is very sensitive, then redness, itching may occur.

Composition and action of sunblock

Sun creams consist of specific and non-specific components:

• The first group is substances that block ultraviolet rays. Thanks to these substances, the skin will be protected from the harmful effects of UV rays, which ensures an even tan.
• The second group includes moisturizers, nutrients, microparticles that preven
  t skin aging, vitamin E, which is necessary for moisturizing, oils from various natural ingredients that nourish the skin.

The action of a tanning agent is based on blocking UV rays, so you need to apply it on the skin at home, in about 30 minutes. before the release, so that the composition has time to absorb.

What does SPF and PPD mean

Sunblock in the tanning bed has the letter SPF, which stands for sunburn protection.

Near the inscription is a number – from 2 to 50:

• means with indicators 2-5 are suitable for people with dark skin;
• dark-skinned people sunbathing without burns, choose a cream with the letters SPF5 – SPF10;
• average designations suggest that such a cream is intended for children’s skin;
• high levels of protection for people who have very sensitive skin.

To find out what time the cream saves, you need 15 (the figure defined by statistics as the safe time in the sun), multiplied by the figure next to the abbreviation.

Another designation that some manufacturers knock out on packaging with cream is PPD, an indicator of protection from sunlight. But in most cases, this index is necessary for the manufacturer to see the extent to which this tool complies with the standards. The consumer does not need these subtleties, it is enough for him to see and be able to decipher the first designation.

The difference between filters and screens

Filters and screens are special components that provide protection from sun exposure, which differ in their mechanism of action.

These differences can be represented as follows:

• Filters are particles that penetrate the upper layer of the skin, which linger there and trap UV. – Screens remain on human skin and scatter the sun’s rays, preventing them from penetrating the subcutaneous layer.
• Filters change UV into thermal energy. The process that has begun is indicated by increased sweat production by humans. – Screens do not produce such an action.
• Screen microparticles are easily removed during bathing. You have to re-apply the cream on the skin. – Filters, penetrating under the skin, remain there for a long time, nourishing the skin, transforming the sun’s rays.

Types of filters used in tanning creams

In tanning creams, the manufacturer uses 2 types of filters:

1. The physical filter (the second name is “mineral or natural”) incorporates zinc oxide and mineral components that do not penetrate the skin, but remain on the surface, reflecting the sun’s rays.
2. Chemical filters contain UV trapping chemicals. Scientists have a double opinion regarding mexoril, cinnamate, benzophenone, camphor. Some claim the negative effect of these compounds, while others assure that these elements are absolutely harmless. However, the following information should be alerted – benzophenone, an integral element of such creams, is quickly absorbed under the skin and spreads through the arteries and capillaries throughout the body, exerting a detrimental effect on the reproductive system.

The difference between the two filters is the safety of the first, created on the basis of natural components. Such cosmetics do not cause manifestations of allergic reactions, do not provoke the appearance of rashes of a demotic nature.

The decision to use a cream that contains free radicals (a product with chemical filters) is made by each person independently.

The choice of cream by skin type

Seeing a girl with bronze skin, you may get the impression that she is lying on the beach for days under the scorching sun and plus, she uses sunblock. This opinion is erroneous, because the color of the tan depends on the phototype and skin.

If you want to enhance the effect of tanning, you need to choose a sunscreen, focusing on your skin type:

• For sensitive skin, milk or emulsion is suitable, the light formula of which will not cause irritation. If there is an individual intolerance to any components, then you definitely need to get acquainted with the composition of the product so as not to harm yourself.
• For dry (normal) skin, an ideal choice would be an oil or cream of a thick consistency, without alcohol. Due to the high air temperature and hot sunlight, moisture evaporates from the skin, so it is necessary to moisturize the skin, give it nourishment.
• Lotions, sprays, emulsions for combination skin, which is not only oily, but also problematic. It is necessary to choose a cream that will regulate the action of the sebaceous glands. Cosmetics containing various oils are contraindicated.

Rules for choosing funds for the beach

When choosing a tanning product on the beach, you need to focus on the skin phototype:

• Owners of blond hair with a reddish tint, freckles on the face, and milky skin (Celtic type) feel uncomfortable on the beach, because their skin is completely deprived of melanin. Hot sun rays cause instant burns. Such people need to be on the beach only in the morning or in the evening, when the sun’s rays glide over the surface, or hide under an awning and always use creams with maximum protection (SPF 50).

  

• People with European skin types also quickly burn out, but they can achieve a golden honey tan if they observe a strict beach regime: stay on the beach for 1 hour in the morning (before lunch) and in the evening, when the sun is declining. At the beginning of the vacation, they need SPF 50, until a certain amount of melanin is produced in the skin. Then you can go to the lower formula – SPF 30. The filters that make up cosmetics will protect the skin from damage and ensure even tan distribution.
• People of a European type quickly sunbathe, but owners of dark brown hair and skin, ivory shade can also burn out if they lie for a long time in the scorching sun. Reasonable enjoyment of a beach holiday, the use of the protective formula SPF 20 will bring an even tan that will last all summer.
• People of the Mediterranean, Asian type (dark-haired, brown-eyed with creamy or olive skin tones) are not afraid of the sun. They can sunbathe w
  ithout any cosmetics, but in order to exclude the appearance of wrinkles and age spots, you need to use oils with low protection.
