Tanning is the process of making leather, which does not easily decompose, from the skins of animals, which do. Often this uses tannin, an acidic chemical compound. Coloring may occur during tanning. A tannery is the term for a place where these skins are processed. Tanning leather involves a process which permanently alters the protein structure of skin so that it cannot ever return to rawhide. Making rawhide does not require the use of tannin and is made simply by removing the flesh and fat and then the hair by way of soaking in an aqueous solution (often called liming when using lime and water or bucking when using wood ash (lye) and water), then scraping over a beam with a somewhat dull knife, and then leaving to dry, usually stretched on a frame so that it dries flat. The two aforementioned solutions for removing the hair also act to clean the fiber network of the skin and therefore allow penetration and action of the tanning agent. The English word for tanning is from medieval Latin tannÄre, deriv. of tannum (oak bark), related to Old High German tanna meaning oak or fir (related to modern Tannenbaum). This refers to use of the bark of oaks (the original source of tannin) in some kinds of hide preservation. From Wikipedia under the

Long term - if you burn while tanning (indoor or outdoor) you may not realize the long term effects that happen to your body YEARS later! it prematurely ages you causeing fine lines and wrinkles to appear earlier then they biologically should. It can also cause hyperpigmentation to areas the sun sees everyday. If you don't wear an SPF every day this can increase your chance of hyperpigmentation. The skin gets cooked which can cause a leather like appearance to the skin. It can also increase your chances of skin cancer. It breaks down your collagen and elastin quicker as well (after 30 years old you lose 1% of collagen and elastin yearly). This list really can go on longer but… [cont.] Answered by Jennie - Sat Jun 14 01:41:54 2008 What tanning lotion is good for the face and body? Q.

Q. Ok, so besides the obvious, that one is for indoor tanning and one for outdoor, and that outdoor lotion may or may not have SPF, what are the differences? Can one use outdoor tanning lotion in a tanning booth? Does one specifically need to buy indoor tanning lotion for a tanning booth? Asked by TheDMV - Thu Feb 12 15:44:45 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. outdoor lotions have mineral oil and other ingrediants that damage the acrlyics of the beds. they usually check lotions and salons and even if not you may have to pay alot of money to get the acrylics replaced if you ruin them with your cheap lotion. you can use an indoor lotion outdoors but not the other way around Answered by bronze candy - Thu Feb 12 15:48:30 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Tanning" See also:
