All those fair-ladies and chocolaty hunks who are charmed by the sexy look after getting sun-tanned may be exposed to a bad surprise once their skin is affected by skin cancer. An article on summer skin care gives a couple of tips to make a beautiful balance between tanning and avoiding sun damage. The tips are as foolows:
1. SPF Count - Well anything from SPF 2 to 45 would work depending on your skin requirement. The article points out three layers of SPF, where those who have a family history of skin cancer are advised an SPF of 30; a combo of sunblock and sunscreen to work well for best sun protection and a combo antioxidants and sunscreen to protect aging skin from sun damage.
2. Application - Application of sunscreen and sunblock lotions must be applied half an hour before the skin is exposed to the sun.
3. Artificial Tanning - An artificial tan is better than the application of a base tan before going out on beach.
4. Feet Care - Application of sunscreens on the toes is very important as reports point out that heels crack in the summer season due to excessive dryness.
5. Skin Cancer - Use sunscreens if you want to avoid skin cancer.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your valuable advice. You are right tanning should be done with the back-up of a high SPF lotion. Do keep dropping in with your suggestions and participation in the blog.
Hugs,

I totally agree, sunscreens are a must to keep our skin protected from those harsh UVA and UVB rays. We are now switched on thankgod and are educated to understand that these rays not only cause cancers, they break down our collagen and elastin. What better and cheaper way of staying youthful than to apply suncreen. At my clinic we only use non-chemical sunscreens which studies have shown that the chemical componants of sunscreens can be absorbed by the body and into our liver. Not good. So, make sure your suncreen contains either titanium dioxide or zinc oxide and no nasties.
