All the sun's rays penetrate water, but each color penetrates to a different depth. The colors at the upper end of the light spectrum, especially the UV (ultraviolet) that causes tanning, penetrate deepest. The UV portion of the sun's light can penetrate into clear water for a hundred feet or more at midday. The safest way to avoid overexposure is to remember that if you can see the sunlight, it may cause sunburn, and to limit exposure accordingly or perhaps wear a T-shirt or wet-suit.

Yes, the sun's tanning rays, primarily UVA rays, can penetrate water. While water can absorb some of these rays, they can still penetrate to some depth, which is why you can get a tan or sunburn while swimming or diving in the ocean, especially in clear water.

But what you may not know is that a lot happens under the layers of your skin when you are out in the sun , unprotected. And these are the reasons, why every skincare expert advises you to never skip your sunscreen, before stepping out in the sun.

Actually, it does not. Scientist believe that sunlight does not reach down to the bottom of the ocean at all.

What is worse for you tanning in a tanning bed or in the sun?

This question has really several different parts to it. My question for you is where are you tanning? Because some parts of the earth are exposed to higher levels of sunlight. The higher the altitude the more you can get burnt because you are closer to the sun as well. Tanning beds expose you to different UV rays than normal sunlight so it all depends on the duration of time that you spend in the sun or the tanning bed. If you plan to tan outside instead of tanning indoors, check out different tanning lotions. Tanning lotions can make the whole difference between whether its better for you to tan indoors or outdoors. Some lotions block harmful UV rays while others allow UV rays to penetrate your skin so the melanin in your skin reacts. The reaction of your melanin will cause you to tan. To see a full review that may help you determine which tanning lotion is right for you go to my website. This may help you make that determination so whichever you prefer, outside or indoors, you can be properly protected. Tanning in a tanning bed is worse because you are closer to the uv rays and they can damage you more easily.
