Getting brown in sunlight - interesting facts about solar radiation

When it comes to tanning quickly despite sunscreen, there is a lot to be said about sunlight and its effects on you skin to know:

  • The skin reacts to the invisible part in sunlight, the UV component in it.
  • Sunlight consists of visible light that you perceive as brightness, infrared radiation that you perceive as warmth and UV light that tans your skin but can also damage it.
  • The UV light is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C radiation. The UV-C radiation is completely absorbed in the atmosphere,
  • The UV-A radiation makes you tan within a short time, but it also causes the skin to age quickly and can lead to skin cancer. You rarely get sunburn from this radiation and not so much. The quick tan hardly increases the natural sun protection of the skin and lasts only a few hours.
    • Deep tan despite a high sun protection factor - this is how it works

    "Have you put on cream?" - "No, I want to get a tan." These arguments ...

  • The UV-B radiation causes a delayed tanning of the skin, you will only notice this tan after about three days. This tan is also a light protection. If you expose yourself to too much radiation, you will get sunburn. Vitamin D is given to people who are never exposed to this radiation 3-A deficiency that can manifest itself as rickets.

So if you want to get a tan despite sunscreen, you should try to get only UV-B radiation if possible.

Damage from UV-A rays despite sunscreen

To use sunscreen properly, you need to know something about it, then it goes without saying how you get tanned despite sunscreen:

  • They know that sunscreen is always labeled with a sun protection factor. This is calculated on the basis of the protection against UV-B radiation. If you would get sunburn due to UV-B radiation in 20 minutes without sunscreen, for example, you will get it after 200 minutes with an SPF of 10. But if you apply a cream with SPF 30, you can stay in the sun 30 times as long before you get sunburn, i.e. 600 minutes.
  • Take a look at the packaging of the sunscreen. This should also show a circle in which UVA is written. Then the sun cream also protects against the UV-A rays. Protection against UV-A radiation means doing without the quick but also unhealthy tan that does not last long.
  • You should also note that the duration of UV-A protection is only a third of the duration of UV-B protection, i.e. the LFS. So if you can stay in the sun for 20 minutes, as in the skin type example, SPF 30 means 600 minutes of protection from UV-B rays, but only 200 minutes from UV-A rays. After this time you have to get out of the sun because the UV-A rays damage your skin.

Tips for proper sunbathing

  • How long you can actually expose yourself to the sun depends on your skin type. The lighter the skin color, the shorter you can be in the sun without protection. Have very light and red skin hair, they should even be exposed to the sun for less than 10 minutes.
  • So if you want to get a tan with sunscreen, always apply a cream with a high sun protection factor, so that you can expose yourself to UV-B radiation for as long as possible without fear of damage from UV-A radiation have to. For example, if you were to use a sunscreen with SPF 10, you would have to get out of the sun after just over an hour, you could no longer expose yourself to UV-B radiation, with SPF 30 you only have to get out of the after about 3 hours Sun. In this way, you can expose the skin to long-lasting tanning UV-B radiation for two hours longer.

The only disadvantage with this method is that you don't get a tan quickly because the tan only becomes visible after three days, but the tan lasts longer.
