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.

One of the most important things to remember about sun tanning is to not get a sun burn. It is counter productive to your goals, it hurts, and it can lead to serious complications later. Complications include skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Getting a burn will undo the effect you are trying to get from sun tanning.

One way to prevent getting burns is to spread your sun tanning through out several days. Try to only be in the sun for short periods of time between the hours of 10 a. M. And 3 p. M. If you do want to stay out longer do it only after you have developed a tan or wear protective clothing. During the winter you can try sun tanning spa's to develop or maintain your tan.

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.

It is highly recommended to always use a sun tanning lotion with an SPF of at least fifteen. Apply it thirty minutes before going outside to allow it to absorb into the skin. Be sure to reapply after being in the water or after activities that cause you to sweat.

The eye lids, lips, and bottom of the feet are often overlooked while sun tanning. Remember these delicate areas and either protect them with a higher number SPF or cover them completely. The soles of your feet are probably not where you want a tan but they will hurt immensely if they get a sun burn. Follow these few simple tips and have a safe and beautiful sun tanning experience.
