Looking good is at the top of most people's priority list, and this usually involves a nice-looking, golden-brown skin tone. Sun tanning has been used to produce tans for a long time, but it is also considered as dangerous. However, many people still like to go sun tanning on the sand, or next to the swimming pool. If you still like to go out into the sunlight for this purpose, there are a few sun tanning hints that you can follow.

Before heading to the beach, make sure that you are not wearing any make-up or perfumed body products, as these could enable the skin to burn. While getting ready to head out for a sun tanning session, be sure to apply a good sunscreen lotion with a low SPF to all parts of your body that will be exposed. Hypoallergenic skincare products are also available for those with sensitive skin. The sunscreen that you use before sun tanning should also be waterproof if you plan to spend time in the water.

You are most likely to get a sunburn rather than a nice tan if you are out in the middle of the day. It is recommended to avoid the hours between twelve and three in the afternoon, as this is when the UV rays are at their strongest. During this time you could protect yourself with clothing and a hat. Work slowly on your tan as well. Give your body at least a day or two between time spent outdoors so that your skin can react accordingly.

Sun tanning is not ideal for everyone. It is also a well know fact that the UV rays that create your tan can damage your skin. Nowadays, there are some good lotions that will give you a fake tan, but a natural-looking tan. They are called self-tan products.

Sunbeds are also used. They are perhaps slightly better than sunlight, because their strength can be adjusted, but they use the same UV rays that cause damage. Those who do use sunbeds should always apply a suitable sunscreen, preferably one with the chemical DHA, and should not use the bed for more than 10 to 15 minutes per session. Lamps with low UVB create better tans as well.

The good thing about self-tan creams are that they are harmless to the skin. They can be used by anyone, regardless of their skin type. A quality product is easy to obtain from various stores, both online and offline.

Therefore, Sun tanning lotions or sprays are recommended for most instead of conventional sun tanning methods or sunbeds. They are so easy to apply that you can do it yourself, although you can go to a salon. Take a shower before the application, and put on a moisturizer beforehand as well. Spray or rub in the product over the desired areas to be tanned.

Unlike sun tanning, self-tan products produce almost instant results. In just a few hours your lovely tan will start to appear. The improved products on the market today will also not produce an orange affect, and will not streak. It is quite difficult when sun tanning to get an even tone, but not with self-tan products.
