There are many men and women who enjoy a healthy glow that sun tanning gives their skin. Crowds of people will travel during the winter to tropical locations in order to spend time on the beaches and work on their tans. To help get the best from sun tanning, some brief tips are listed below.



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.



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.

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 sun is going to dry out your skin so remember to also drink plenty of water. Also remember your eyelids and lips while sun tanning and either cover them or moisturize and protect them with a strong SPF. The bottom of your feet also have to be remembered while in the sun. You probably do not want a tan on them, but they will burn quickly, so cover them.
