Tips to get a safe and perfect tan

 

1. Always use protection

Before we talk about tanning, we have to get one thing straight: sunscreen is always mandatory. If you’re afraid it will prevent you from getting darker, think again.

2. Exfoliate gently and regularly

Tanning is your skin reacting to the sun. Make sure you exfoliate regularly to avoid build up or to prevent the dead skin from blocking the rays.

3. Moisturize before and after

A softer skin looks better tanned. Get your body moisturized the night before you plan to sunbathe and make it as silky as possible.

4. Move around

The last thing you want is to have different colors on you, so make sure you turn around to give all of your body access to the sun’s caresses.

5. Protect your eyes

Bright light on the optic nerve stimulates the hypothalamus gland, which produces melanin thus achieving a better tan.

6. Go for the outdoors

Tanning beds being safer is only a myth. In fact it’s much healthier to get exposure from the sun. And that’s because with a tanning bed you get a higher concentration of UVA, as much as 12 times more.

7. Watch the time 

Doctors recommend to avoid sun bathing between the hours 10 a.m and 4 p.m, even when it’s cloudy outside.

8. Shower after

Taking a bath or a shower, either hot or cold, is always a good idea after sitting in the sun, in order to remove all the lotion, oils or salt and sand from your skin to get it looking silky.
