To achieve a beautiful sun kissed look, many people rely on tanning beds. Although effective, tanning salons may accelerate wrinkle formation; however, by implementing the following 3 strategies, you can get that sun kissed look that you want without having to worry about aging. Those who would like a more intense treatment option can get wrinkle treatments in St. Clair Shores.
Opt for Larger Tanning Goggles
The skin around your eyes is probably the thinnest and most fragile when compared to any other part of the body, as it lacks collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin in this region and area tend to be most vulnerable to the effects of tanning and will be one of the first areas that you see wrinkles begin to form. As your eyes attract the most attention, wrinkles in these areas can add years to your age.
To prevent wrinkles from forming near your eyes, never forget to wear tanning goggles that will help block out any harmful ultraviolet rays being emitted from the tanning beds. Choose larger tanning goggles capable of protecting a larger area for optimal effectiveness.
Moisturize Your Skin Before and After Entering the Tanning Beds
Wrinkle formation results from exposure to ultraviolet rays, which tend to dry up the skin. To prevent your skin from losing moisture and collagen, make sure that you moisturize your entire body before and after entering the tanning beds.
Moisturizing your skin will not only prevent wrinkles, but will also guarantee that you get a better tan, as your skin is silkier and smoother. Dry skin is one of the main causes of a patchy tan. You want to make sure that you pay particular attention to moisturizing problem areas like elbows and knees. Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water will also help.
Follow the FDA Guidelines
More wrinkles will begin to form and develop based on the amount of exposure that the skin receives to ultraviolet rays brought on from tanning. Be sure to follow FDA guidelines, and at most once a week after the tan has been developed.
Spending too much time in the tanning salons may have counteractive results, and may cause skin to become much more wrinkly. It is important to set up and follow a strict schedule.
Tanning salons can help you achieve that beautiful bronzed look that you have been dreaming about. When you first start tanning, start slowly and avoid using the maximum exposure time, as you can easily get burned. By being diligent in your tanning routine, you can easily enjoy the benefits of tanning without having to worry about getting wrinkles. Fillers from St. Clair Shores can fill in some of the deeper wrinkles to give you flawless, plump skin.
