Have a Tan, Avoid Sun Burn
They say that if you want to get a tan fast, you should just go and lie under the sun for a certain amount of time. But going under the sun without any protection is great risk factor. You are going to get your self a wrinkle, sun burn if there is no proper protection.
There are a lot of claims that sun bathing with the use of sunscreen and other products with SPF is a way to get a safe tan. This claim is completely false, exposing your self under the sun for several hours even minutes can still cause skin problems even with sunscreen. Though, there are ways to lessen the possibility of getting sun burnt.
The first thing you should do is to know how sensitive your skin is. Usually, people who are fair-skinned get their skin easily burnt. Another thing to know is the place where you are having a vacation. If the altitude is high, UV radiation is higher.
When you are buying sunscreens and tanning lotions, you should take a look at the SPF level it has to offer. If you are not sure which product to buy it is better to consult your dermatologist. You might be buying something that can cause irritation to your skin.
Knowing the right time to sun bathe and get a tan is also important. Sun bathing after 9 AM is dangerous because UV radiation is stronger at that time. That is why they recommend babies to stay under the sun before 9 AM because it helps with the immune system of the baby. This fact is also applicable to adults, actually sun bathing between 10 AM and 4 PM is not recommended.
Swimming is the first thing on everyone's mind during the summer. Some might think that they do not need to apply sunscreen because they will be in the water most of the time. But this is not true, UV radiation reaches up to 9 feet even if you are in the water. The worst part is that you are getting sun burnt without even knowing it.
Every 20 minutes apply your sunscreen lotion. Even if you are using a tanning lotion you should still use a sunscreen because tanning lotions does little when it comes to protecting the skin.
