Men and women both enjoy sun tanning. During the winter months people flock to the tropics in order to spend time on the beach working on their tans. Here are a few tips on sun tanning to help you get the most out of the sun without damaging your skin.

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.

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.

A sun tanning lotion with at least a fifteen SPF should always be used. If you have fair or freckled skin, use a higher number SPF. It is a good idea to apply the sun tanning product to your skin at least thirty minutes before going out. This will allow it time to absorb into the skin. In addition, reapply the product every time you get in and out of the water or participate in activities.

When outside sun tanning, do not forget about your lips, eyelids, and the bottom of your feet. You may not want to tan them but you do need to cover them in order to protect them from getting sunburn. Also drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
