Method 3 - Tanning Accelerators

For a speedier tan, you might elect to try a tanning accelerator. Generally sold as lotions or pills, these products list an amino acid called tyrosine in with ingredients. This amino acid is reported (but not proven) by some users to increase production of melanin, speeding up tanning process. Again, these are not FDA-approved solutions or drugs.

Method 4 - Tanning Lamps

Tanning lamps, unfortunately, can have same bad effects on body as direct sunlight. The equipment emits UV rays that are just as damaging as sun's. Some measures to take towards safety when using this type of equipment are closely monitor sessions, keeping to minimum number and timed lengths that are recommended, don't book sessions closer than every-other day, ALWAYS wear recommended safety eyewear, follow safety and other directions that come with equipment or are (or should be) posted near it, and do place some sort of protection like a thin piece of acrylic between your body and tanning lamps. (Check for this possibility with booths, too, by asking host or reading equipment's instruction booklet).

In conclusion, when looking for a tanning solution, check out variety of products available. Sunless-tanning products offer safer tanning and many choices of forms and formulas for everyone across board from young to old. And sunscreen products are definitely needed outdoors and also come in a variety of choices for everyone.

So be prepared. Be safe. And have fun in sun!

Chronic back pain caused by stress can hurt just as badly as chronic pain that resulted from falling off of a roof. It has been estimated that over 34 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, be it from arthritis, migraine headaches or their backs (with lower back pain being most common). 15 million people experience chronic pain at work on a daily basis. So if you are a sufferer of chronic pain you are not alone - though it can certainly feel that way.

What can you do about it?

To begin with, you must make sure clear lines of communication have been established with you physician(s) and any other health care providers being seen for chronic back pain. Do not just assume it is your cross to bear and suffer in silence. Though it is true that majority of back pain in general is not symptomatic of serious illness, do not assume you are therefore free from all risk. There have been cases of people whose backs' hurt persistently and they just mistook it for a fact of life and went on best they could, only to discover that "bad back" was really a sign of something much worse, like cancer or otherwise damaged internal organs.

So, in conclusion, if you are suffering from any form of back pain, do not suffer in silence and contact your doctor to discuss your problem at very earliest convenience.
