Brief Information About Sun Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Many people enjoy having a tan. Sun tanning products are varied and make many promises. There are a few things to remember when choosing products to use on your skin in the sun. Do not let your skin burn, exfoliate before applying sun tanning lotion, and keep your skin hydrated.

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.

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.

Exfoliate your skin before applying your sun tanning products. Your skin will be able to hold the tan longer if you do this first. After spending a day sun tanning, use plenty of moisturizer all over your body to keep the skin from drying out. It will look smooth and show off your tanned skin.

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.

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.
