Six Simple Suggestions on Getting the Perfect Sun Tan

When you want the perfect tan, it’s imperative that you don’t overdo it or under do it. That being said, there are some methods that you can incorporate into your daily routine that can empower you to get that perfect sun kissed tan each and every time. While you do have artificial options of tanning – like spray on tans or tanning salons – we are talking about naturally tanning using good old ultra violet light that’s emitted by the sun. Use these six tips to make your bronze a perfect, lasting one every time.

1. Monitor the UV index: You need to be sure that you monitor the daily UV index. You want to avoid tanning during the sun’s peak to avoid getting burned or increasing your risk of skin cancer. Generally, that means you should not tan between 12-2pm every day.

2. Use a bronzer: A bronzer can help you more easily tone your skin. It will also help you to more evenly tan. Just make sure you don’t overdo it with your bronzer, lest you end up a lot more tan than you had desired.

3. Moisturize often: Your skin is made up of mostly water, about 80% actually. So when you are purposely exposing your skin to the sun, you will lose a lot of water. Make sure that you moisturize often. A good method is about every 15 minutes or so for the best results.

4. Monitor your moles and skin tags: You need to be proactive when tanning. Since tanning can increase your risk of skin cancer, you need to make sure that you are monitoring your moles and skin tags. Have your doctor fully examine your skin every six months.

5. Tan nude when possible for even tone: While you may need to do this in the privacy of your back yard, if you want an even body tone, you need to tan nude. Make sure you add extra sunscreen to those sensitive areas down there.

6. Don’t drink when tanning: Drinking alcohol will dehydrate you and make your skin a lot more prone to burns. It will also increase chances of blemishes and contracting heat related illnesses like heat stroke.
