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.

One thing to always remember about sun tanning is to protect your skin and not get a sun burn. Allowing your skin to burn will lead to serious skin complications that might show up immediately or years latter. These include skin that ages prematurely and skin cancer. Letting your skin burn is going to undo all the reasons for you sun tanning to begin with.

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 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.
