Tan lotions

Suntan is the defence reaction of the organism to the harmful rays got by the body. The skin becomes darker under the influence of the sun because the special cells produce the pigment called melanin. And this pigment is responsible for colouring of our body.

People with light colour of the skin are less protected from the sun because their skin produces melanin very slowly. And in such case the suntan lotions will be very good. Besides to be really effective it is necessary to use the lotions that contain the special ingredients and filters.

But such filters may cause the allergic reaction including the photo allergy. This is the paradox reaction when allergy is reflected only after getting to the sun. Another danger connected with such lotions is the exceeded trust to them. Putting the lotion on the skin we loose the necessary carefulness and the sun rays continue being the most dangerous for our skin.

The most modern sun blocks contain the mineral filters. They have the great variety of the block effect methods and are safe for people with the sensitive skin because they rarely cause the allergic reactions. Lotions with filters from the sun rays protect the skin from the influence of free radicals. To make the effect stronger different antioxidants are added to the lotions such as for example the vitamin E.

Don't forget to use the tan lotions going to solarium as it doesn't protect your skin from the influence of ultraviolet rays. That is why the necessary detail of any beach fan must be the suntan lotions.
