Sun Tan Lotion

As Sun Safety Grows, So Do The Benefits of Sunless Tanning The mission of the Foundation is to decrease the incidence of disease by means of public and professional education, medical training, and research. Learn more about the Foundation and its Mission . -- As Sun Safety Grows, So Do The Benefits of Sunless Tanning The popularity of self-tanning products is surging, showing that Americans are wising up about sun safety. They're putting their money where their skin is. Self-tanning products, also called ''sunless'' tanning lotions, contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless sugar that interacts with dead surface cells in the epidermis, staining the skin darker. The effect is temporary, because as the dead cells naturally slough off, the color fades, disappearing within a week unless the lotion has been reapplied. That's a lot more healthful than a suntan, however, because while suntans also start fading after a few days, the harm done to the skin is permanent. Getting a suntan breaks down the DNA in skin cells, but using self-tanners causes no such damage. At worst, sunless tanning products present a minimal risk of irritant or allergic reactions. Bigger and Better Recent improvements in these sunless products have made the demand skyrocket. "They're easier to use than ever, the color appears more natural, and some lotions even contain sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF)," says Stanley B. Levy, MD, adjunct clinical professor of dermatology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill. Recent research shows, furthermore, that while DHA provides only minimal SPF protection against the sun's shorter-wave, UVB rays, higher DHA concentrations that turn the skin darker may provide extra protection against the sun's longer-wave, UVA rays, which, like UVB, are linked to premature skin aging (photoaging) and skin cancer. But you can't assume you're adequately UV-protected just because your skin turns darker. At best, the DHA in self-tanning lotions offers protection equivalent to an SPF of only 2 to 4. The Skin Cancer Foundation maintains that SPFs of 15 or higher are required for adequate protection. So even if a product has a high concentration of DHA, it must also contain an SPF 15+ sunscreen if you want to be properly protected. "And remember, even if the lotion contains such a sunscreen, the protection lasts only a couple of hours, not for the duration of the color change," notes Dr. Levy. "After two hours in the sun at most, you should put on more sunscreen." Different Strokes Sunless tanning lotions now come in light, medium, and dark tones. People with dry skin can buy brands with emollients or humectants added for softness and moisture, while people with oily skin may find that gel or alcohol-based products work better. And recently, ingredients such as vitamins, herbal extracts, antioxidants, and alpha-hydroxy acids are being added to some products in an effort to expand their benefits. Buyer Beware A last caution from The Skin Cancer Foundation: Don't be misled when products sound like self-tanning lotions -- "Tanning amplifiers," "tan accelerators," "bronzers," "tanning promoters," "tanning enhancers," and worst of all, "tanning pills." Bronzers are merely a form of coloring, like tinted makeup, and offer little or no protection. Many of the other products interact with the sun to create the tan, so they actually end up accentuating the damage done to the skin. The pills - which are commercially banned in the U.S. -- are the worst. They contain the carotenoid chemical canthaxanthin (the same pigment found in carrots), and have been associated with hepatitis and urticaria, a condition that involves relentless itching and skin eruptions. "Read the ingredients on the label of all these products carefully," says Dr. Levy. "Unless their active ingredient is DHA, they're not bona fide sunless tanners, and they could very well be harmful for your skin."

One of the most common causes of stretch marks is from pregnancy weight gain. During pregnancy weight gain, the skin is stretched quickly and excessively and it causes tiny tears in the dermis layer causing stretch marks or pregnancy scars (striae). Over a period of time stretch marks can fade in color, however, the scars will remain if untreated. Even though stretch marks seem to be inevitable for many people, keeping the skin hydrated and moist is one of the best ways to prevent them. Soft-E-Lotion™ is very useful in the process of keeping skin hydrated and elastic during pregnancy or excessive weight gain. Soft-E-Lotion™ is a proactive anti stretch marks product that contains very high amounts of antioxidants and lipids essential to the protection and repair of stretch marks. If you already suffer from stretch marks, the lipids, vitamins, and antioxidants found in Soft-E-Lotion™ can help shed dead skin cells and aid in the process of replacing them with healthy skin cells. This will help reduce the appearance of scars associated with pregnancy stretch marks. Soft-E-Lotion™ contains over 5% all natural vitamin E. All natural vitamin E has been shown to play an important role in protecting and repairing stretch marks from scaring caused by excessive skin stretching during pregnancy. Vitamins A & C, aloe, shea butter, sweet almond oil, and squalene are also incorporated into Soft-E-Lotion™ and are essential in the repair of skin that is damaged, scared or has stretch marks. The prevention and repair of stretch marks is due to the unique blend of antioxidants, lipids, and vitamins contained within our Soft-E-Lotion™. The use of this moisturizing stretch marks lotion while gaining weight during pregnancy is crucial to ensure the protection and increased elasticity of your skin. Soft-E-Lotion™ is not only for pregnancy stretch marks but also for bodybuilders who have gained muscle too quickly, adolescents whose fast growth has caused stretch marks, or people who suffer from obesity. Soft-E-Care™ recommends the use of Soft-E-Lotion™ twice per day for the treatment, and prevention of stretch marks. For best results to get rid of stretch marks, apply this lotion after bathing. We also recommend proper nutrition and supplementation with natural vitamin E , folic acid , and omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy. Soft-E-Lotion™ is non-greasy, fragrance free, and has not been tested on animals. Size: 8 fl.oz.
