How to Tan Without Burning

Laying in the sun outdoors can be an extremely unpleasant and unhealthy experience when not conducted in the proper manner. A nice glowing sun kissed tan can be achieve at a safer level by knowing how to tan without the all the risk of burning.

Begin prepping the skin for tanning a few weeks before time. Do a thorough job of exfoliating the skin. Dry, dead skin does not tan well and just sheds. Any dry skin that tans will be lost more quickly and can cause problems such as blotchy, uneven tans and skin dandruff. Also begin using a daily moisturizer. It might be a good idea to use it in the morning and at night. Moisturized skin is an essential key to maintaining a long lasting tan. If moisturizer with sunless tanner is used, please remember that a sunless tan does not protect from the damage of the sun and the skin will still burn as normal skin. Do not moisturize directly before tanning. Certain lotions can block SPF products from working correctly.
