By Haywood Hunter


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.

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.

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.

Before applying any sun tanning products to your skin, exfoliate first with a loofah. This can help your skin hold the tan longer by getting rid of all the dead skin cells first. Also use moisturizer after being in the sun to keep your skin and tan looking supple and beautiful.

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 eye lids, lips, and bottom of the feet are often overlooked while sun tanning. Remember these delicate areas and either protect them with a higher number SPF or cover them completely. The soles of your feet are probably not where you want a tan but they will hurt immensely if they get a sun burn. Follow these few simple tips and have a safe and beautiful sun tanning experience.
