scars on legs?

i hav many scars on my legs from teenage spots. i thought at the time i was very lucky only 2 get 'em on me legs unlike me sis who got em everywhere (ha, lol). anyway. a friend told me if i get my legs out in the sun they should fade a bit, is this true? as i think my legs are really horrible i'd rather use sunbed, would this do the same trick? if at all? and yes...i kno..uva n uvb all go towards causing skin cancer, but i cant live in a bubble all me life can i? n no, wont use it all the time, just until the scars dnt look so horrible.

if this wouldn't work could sum1 suggest summat else? coco butter didn't work n neither did bio-oil

Yes the sun will help in small safe doses, still use factor 15 or more, the sun will still do it's job with less damage risk. You can also try applying vitamin e cream.
Possibly if it's really bad, it might be worth contacting a cosmetic surgery and enquiring as to whether a type of micro-dermabrasion might work?
Good luck chicky

Responses of Plant to UVB Radiation $380.76 The research in this book covers papers on a great number of research projects on the responses of plants and crops of natural terrestrial ecosystems, of agroecosystems, and of aquatic ecosystems, to enhanced solar UVB as a result of stratospheric ozone depletion. Some introductory chapters deal with general aspects of how plants respond to UVB radiation. Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) is a primary energy resource for terrestrial plants, necessary for plant growth. Inevitably terrestrial plants absorb UVB when exposed to solar radiation. The spectral balance between PAR and UVB is discussed in several chapters. The responses of plants and ecosystems from the Antarctic and Arctic to enhanced solar UVB radiation as a consequence of the hole in the ozone layer are considered in some detail. In addition the papers in the book discuss the problem of how responses of plants to UVB radiation interact with other environmental factors. The book is of great importance for those who are involved in global change topics: biologists, ecologists, earth scientists, agronomists, environmental scientists, and those who develop environmental policy.

Spray Tanning – A Brief History

Spray tanning has really become incredibly popular in the UK largely due to the negative and fear publicity created by the more dramatic daily publications and certain concerns with their own agenda regarding the theoretical dangers of sunbeds and the sun.

Tanning became popular during the 1950's and with the advent of foreign holidays, became a reality in the 1960's.  However, it was not until the mid 1970's that the sunbed was available and suddenly everyone (who tanned) could boast a Mediterranean tan.

During the late 1970's, throughout the 1980's and early 1990's the use of sunbeds grew dramatically until the drip drip effect of certain scare stories began to take effect and gradually the general public began to believe that using a sunbed would cause skin cancer.

The whole aspect of sunbathing in the UK is now in a state of confusion as the sun and sunbeds stand accused of being the harbinger of ill health.  The truth is that it (i.e. sunshine – UVA/UVB therefore sunbeds) are one of the four essentials of life, without ultra violet we would die.  It has taken mankind millions of years to evolve in a radiation filled world and this radiation is vital to all life as we know it on our planet.

Most of the major supplies of suntanning equipment (sunbeds and stand ups) have been devastated in many ways by the trend away from natural tanning to the increased use of spray tanning, which really started in the mid 1990's with the success of the American product, St. Tropez marketed in this country by Judy Naake who was an agent for one of the main sunbed companies on the cosmetic side from 1990 to 1994!

The runaway success of this alternative to sunbeds has created a huge number of other company's trying their hand at self tanning creams.  In the salon, spray tanning both with a manual spray and with an automatic booth has now become an important alternative.  However, what is worthy of note is that this is the only country in the world that has vilified sunbeds (and to a lesser extent – the sun) and has created such a following with a chemical application of fluid which turns the skin brown!

One major new player in the spray tan market is Quadra Medical of Italy and has for the last eighteen months been relatively successful in the UK in providing, probably, the best of the spray tan products available with the “That'So” range which not only incorporates the fluid, but also a very classy manual spray system and a very compact, futuristic looking and highly effective automatic spray cabin.

As with so many crazes few, if any, of the original companies from ten years ago who were supplying equipment and spray tanning fluids survive today and it is down to the more established sunbed companies, to continue with this diversification of the market into the salon.

The most important aspect of spray tanning is to say that it is a very effective cosmetic with no health benefits whatsoever but it is a highly suitable product for those who wish for a tan, who do not normally tan or for those who wish for a quick fix!

Spray tanning certainly has a place in the ‘instant' market or indeed with people who do not easily tan but it cannot take the place of the commercial sunbed in the long run.  Nor can it offer the health benefits of Ultraviolet and the creation of Vitamin D3 which is so essential in our lives in keeping us healthy and is a major factor at keeping cancer at bay.
