Brief Information On Sun Tanning Safely

By Haywood Hunter


Men and women both enjoy sun tanning. During the winter months people flock to the tropics in order to spend time on the beach working on their tans. Here are a few tips on sun tanning to help you get the most out of the sun without damaging your skin.

The most important thing to remember while sun tanning is to not allow your skin to burn. A sun burn damages the skin and can result in skin cancer or skin that ages prematurely. The main reason people enjoy having a tan is for the healthy look their skin has so do not undo that effect by allowing your skin to burn.

The amount of time spent sun tanning should be spread out over several days. Never spend more than two hours at one time in the sun. It is best to start with fifteen minutes then increase time spent sun tanning slowly. If you are in a hurry or the weather is too overcast, there are tanning spa's you can try.

You can get your tan to last longer by exfoliating the dead skin cells before applying your sun tanning lotion. When outside, always reapply the sun tanning products after being in the water, toweling off, or exercising. When you come back in, shower immediately to remove the sun tanning lotion then use a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and soft.

Another important thing to remember is to use sun tanning lotions that are appropriate for your skin type. Always use a product with at least fifteen SPF. Apply your sun tanning lotions at least thirty minutes before going outside in order for it to absorb properly into the skin. Also, after being in the water or exercising, apply more lotion to keep your skin protected and moist.

When outside sun tanning, do not forget about your lips, eyelids, and the bottom of your feet. You may not want to tan them but you do need to cover them in order to protect them from getting sunburn. Also drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
