Saturday, May 1st, 2010

There are definitely a lot of people who adore the sun for its ability to give them a better skin colour. When you think about this, it is quite obvious, that these people are looking for ways that they can acquire a tanned skin.

The methods that some people employ in order to get a suntanned skin include getting a tan outdoors from the sun itself, but also, tanning beds, tanning booths, spray on tanners, self tanning lotions and tanning pills. In part, the decision which of these methods you choose, depends on the length of time that you can spare to get a good tan.

Some people go for tanning pills, but in reality, they work a little differently from the other, more usual methods. For example, lotions work by spreading some of the liquid, usually oil based, on various sections of your body. It is your choice which parts of you, you want to change the colour of. However, tanning pills need to be taken orally and so will affect the whole of your body. Also, you will have to choose which tanning pills to use, because, unlike lotions, if you use tanning pills, you will have fewer colour choices.

You ought to be well aware of this important point, because you will need to choose a depth of tan which does not differ too unfavourably with the colour of other parts of your body like your hair, eyes, lips, etc. You can buy these tanning pills in the same stores as you buy your other tanning supplies.

You must however consult the label to find out if there are any precautions you will need to take. For example, one of the most important precautions that you can take, is to find out if you might have an allergic reaction to the tanning pills.

Can You Reduce Jet Lag On Your Holiday Or Vacation Flight?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Many medical experts have found that passengers on commercial air flights usually experience a worse bout of jet lag when flying to their vacation destinations from east to west. In general, the more time zones their flights cross when they travel from east to west, the more severe the symptoms of jet lag will be. However, airline passengers will only experience a milder bout of jet lag when their air flight is going from west to east.

Airline passengers can fly north and south, or south to north, for thousands of miles without experiencing jet lag. But as soon as the pilot of the airplane starts flying in an east to west direction and crosses more than one or two time zones, they can experience jet lag.

Passengers will not usually experience symptoms of jet lag until they exit the plane at their holiday destination. That is the time when their biological clocks will start to make internal adjustments inside their bodies to coincide more closely with the local time at their destination. If they travel across one, or even two time zones, their bodies can generally adjust very quickly. But if an airline passenger is in poor health, or not feeling well before the flight, jet lag can compound the problem. In general, you should allow for one day to recover for every time zone your flight crosses.

The following information may lessen the effects of jet lag when you fly.

Try to catch a flight that arrives at your vacation destination in daylight hours. Immediately fit in with the new time zone and do not go to bed. If you feel tired and want to take a short snooze, do it in a well lighted place.

In the evening, sleep in a darkened room as the darkness will help prepare your brain for sleep.

You should also avoid looking at television or computer screens as they are bright and have high frequencies that can easily over-stimulate your brain.

Until your jet lag symptoms subside, do not consume alcohol or any drinks such as coffee and soda that contain caffeine, as it can disrupt your sleep.

You may want to consider taking a melatonin tablet or capsule (as many air travelers do) in the early evening (your time) to help you adjust to the time zone at your destination. You may still have to take a dose of melatonin for the next three or four evenings in a row before you go to bed in this new location to help you readjust your biological clock. If you have never taken melatonin before, you should ask your doctor or local pharmacist for more information in regards to the suggested dosage.
