The Central Components Of Suntan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Suntan lotion products can refer to sunscreen or indoor tanning lotion. Though these two products are used for alternative purposes. Sunscreen, also known as sunblock, is used to protect skin from UV radiation. On the other hand, tanning creams are used to aid in the process of tanning.

The L-Tyrosine, as well as melanin, are common ingredients found in indoor tanning products. Copper, numerous oils, tea extract may also be added. Some products include ingredients that are skin moisturizers or bronzers. As suggested by their name, these lotions are not to be used outdoors because they do not block skin from sun exposure.

The creams may work in one of two ways. They may increase the melanin production or the blood circulating to the skin. Either way, the melanin of the skin is increased. Typically these creams are used with a tanning machine that gives off UV light.

The product that can be used outside is known as sunscreen. This formula, which is used to absorb or reflect ultraviolet rays from the sun, can come in many forms, including gel, cream and spray. Sunscreen can also prevent sunburn from prolonged sun exposure.

There are organic particulates, chemical compounds or inorganic particulates in every type of sunscreen product. Sunblock may be classified as physical or chemical, depending on its function. Formulas considered chemical are designed to absorb sun rays. Formulas known as physical are made to reflect sunlight. Sunblocks are recommended for use by everyone, regardless of skin type, this is because it is known to prevent skin cancer or sunburn.

Suntan lotion can refer to sunblock or tanning cream products. These may be used differently, but both include formulas that are applied topically to skin. Sunscreen blocks are used as protection against exposure to the sun and tanning cream are used for indoor tanning, bronzing and moisturizing.
