For Best Skin Sun Care -Tanning:\u00a0Nefertari has scoured the worldwide web for the strangest, most bizarre myths associated with tanning.\u00a0 You won\u2019t believe what we found, and what people actually believe to be true about sun tanning.<\/p>\n

As you read these ridiculous misinterpretations of fact, remember to use our very REAL skin sun care and sun-tanning products that can be found in the \u201cSun Care<\/a><\/strong>\u201d section on the product page of our web site<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 There\u2019s no myth behind Nefertari choice of products such as our Sothys Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion<\/a><\/strong> and the Tanning Body & Face Lotion SPF20<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 just real, proven results.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, our list of the 5 most ridiculously untrue myths related to sun-tanning and sun protection.\u00a0 Here goes nothing:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Windows are the same as sun block.\u00a0 <\/strong>False!\u00a0 DO NOT think of the glass from the window as another layer of sunscreen.\u00a0 What we do recommend, however, is that you venture outside into the sun with the rest of the world, and use our highly effective SPF 30 lotion instead of a pane of glass from your bedroom window.\u00a0 Water is also not protection against the sun. Luckily, Sothys sun-care products are all water-resistant.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 UVA Rays are the only harmful rays.\u00a0 <\/strong>Again, not true.\u00a0 UVB rays also cause sun damage \u2013 only these rays give you warning signs that damage has occurred.\u00a0 UVA rays are more dangerous.\u00a0 Increased exposure combined with no protection against UVA rays can lead to serious consequences including skin cancer.\u00a0 Consult with your doctor and take the necessary steps this summer to protect against UVA rays.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 If you start with a base tan, you will be immune to sunburns.\u00a0 <\/strong>Discovery Health debunked this myth.\u00a0 And they\u2019re right: just because you begin a day at the beach with a tan does not mean you\u2019ll leave the beach without a burn.\u00a0 Always apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure, and then continue to reapply every 2 hours.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 People with darker skin are more immune to sun burns.<\/strong>\u00a0 Unfortunately for those without fair skin, this is yet another myth.\u00a0 While darker skin tones are less to show redness than their fairer skin counterparts, they are not completely immune.\u00a0 The same amount of care and attention to sun-protection should be practiced by all, no matter the color of their skin.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 It\u2019s partly cloudy!\u00a0 I can\u2019t get sunburned when it\u2019s cloudy!\u00a0 <\/strong>This is perhaps the most common misconception.\u00a0 While the power of ultraviolet rays is reduced, they are not eliminated.\u00a0 So even though you may view the cloud cover as a safety net, remember the cumulative effect of the sun\u2019s rays throughout the day is about the same on a partly cloudy day.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget to sunscreen!<\/p>\n
