Many people think that tanned skin is beautiful. However, in an effort to make it such, it is important not to overdo it in sunbathing. If you want a beautiful and even tan, prepare your skin in advance and use caution when visiting the beach or summer cottage.
Instructions
Step 1
The tan will lie better on smooth skin. To achieve this quality, apply a body scrub before sunbathing. It is better to use it in the evening - on the eve of the first day of sunbathing. The result is a smoother and more beautiful tan.
Step 2
Apply sunscreen. The lighter your skin, the more protection you need. It is measured in SPF. When the skin, after a few days of exposure to the sun, has already tanned a little, which means it will receive natural protection, the level of SPF - sun protection factor can be reduced.
Step 3
You should only sunbathe at certain times. The most suitable time for tanning is from 9 to 11 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. You will have to spend more time on the beach for the skin to acquire a chocolate hue than at lunchtime. But on the other hand, such a tan is safe for the skin.
Step 4
Don't spend more than two hours in the sun every day. If your skin is very light, start tanning gradually - from 5-7 minutes a day. Expose your body gradually to avoid possible allergic reactions. This is especially true if you are sensitive to sun exposure.
Step 5
Remember to apply after-sun products. They are designed to cool the skin and moisturize it. If the skin is damaged by excessive exposure to the sun, and you experience discomfort, after-sun products will help to cope with this problem.
