Methods That Can Be Used For Authentic Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


A lot of people love the idea of getting a perfect tan, but many believe that it is not possible to do so naturally. In fact, getting a good natural tan is well within the reach of almost everyone. The tanning tips outlined below will show you how to do it.

First, exfoliate your skin. Gently clean your skin as thoroughly as you can and remove any dead skin that has encrusted on it. This will make for a much more effective tan.

Secondly, you should employ sunscreen. It does sound paradoxical to employ sunscreen while attempting to get a tan. However, the sunscreen will prevent the skin from getting sunburn, and thereby increase the likelihood of a tan developing instead.

Third, keep yourself hydrated. Heat from the sun can dry out the skin, which makes for a less effective tan. Moisturizing your skin prior to tanning will help you keep your skin hydrated externally. To keep it hydrated internally, make sure to drink plenty of water. Moist skin tans more effectively than dry skin does, so it is important to keep this tip in mind.

Fourth, do not mistake sunburn for the development of a good tan. This is an urban myth that many people seem to believe in, but there is no basis for it at all. Sunburn simply means that the skin has been adversely affected by the sun's ultra violet rays. It is recommended, as above, that sunscreen be used to prevent sunburn from developing.

Employing the tanning techniques described above will aid you in acquiring a decent tan. The key part to remember is that your tan will be natural, and thus much better than a tan you have had to spray on your skin. The difference between the two is as clear as night and day, even if many people will refrain from saying so.
