This is the time of year for tanning…all you guys need to make sure you remain safe though…the sun can be dangerous!!
To tan safely without burning follow these steps:
1. Start with 10 or 15 minutes of exposure to the sun or a tanning lamp, and gradually increase the time as your body becomes more tanned.
2. Start with a sunscreen with an SPF factor of under 15, but no less than 8.
3. Keep skin moisturized with after-sun lotion - preferably with aloe - to make your tan last.
4. If you notice your starting to burn put on a hat, cover up, or go inside!
5. Some medications (especially acne medications) lower your resistance to sun.
6. If you are light-skinned/fair, you are more prone to sunburn than people with darker complexions take extra precautions
so be safe guys!
