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.

Sun tanning should be spread out over several days. Spend only fifteen minutes the first day and increase it up to no more than two hours. The sun is its hottest between 10 AM and 3 PM. So try to no be out during that time or at least stay out for only short periods. If weather does not permit it, then try a sun lamp or sun tanning spa.

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.

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.

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.
