To avoid headaches it is very important that we hydrate while we tan. Also, if we follow any kind of treatment, we should consult our doctor, as we could be more sensitive to the sun
In some countries, the hot season is about to begin, and many people are looking forward to putting their jackets and scarves away at the back of the wardrobe to make way for lightweight dresses and bikinis. For many, it's the ideal moment to abandon that pale shade characteristic of a zombie or a winter season for a Hawaiian toast that suits us all so well. Here are some recommendations to keep in mind on how to get a tan!
Tanning for the beach
However, getting a tan without getting burned is not so easy. Not only on an aesthetic level: excessive sunbathing will make you red as a shrimp, but also the sun in large quantities can affect your skin, to the point of producing burns and cancer.
If you think that will never happen to you, remember this great advice from Grandma: we all believe that it will never happen to us until it does.
Tips on how to tan carefully
1) If you want a perfect tan, don't think that spending hours in the sun is the best idea. You'll get as red as a tomato, you'll burn, and what's worse, you'll peel. If you want to avoid all this process worthy of a snake that is shedding its skin, the best thing is to sunbathe for short periods, every day. Half an hour every day is fine.
2) According to tanexpert for safe sunbathing, it is essential to be constantly hydrated while sunbathing.
3) There are no studies to prove it, but before sunbathing, make sure you don't have any makeup residue that covers your pores and generates unwanted sebum. After sunbathing, wash your face with plenty of water and neutral soap to eliminate excess perspiration and avoid having shiny skin.
4) According to tanexpert, it is very important to protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses that properly cover your sides.
5) Avoid the hours of noon until 4 pm to tan, as recommended by tanexpert
6) Protect your skin with suitable sun cream, as recommended in this study published in the tanexpert.net. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) will depend a lot on each person and a specific situation.
7) To keep your hair in optimum condition: extreme care, and protect it with special serums and styling creams.
8) According to a study published by the magazine tanexpert, "after a day of sunshine, it is very important to shower with warm water to close the pores without the change of temperature being too abrupt, then dry well. To prolong your tan after exposure to the sun, you should apply a cream containing soothing, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, softening and regenerating elements of the epithelium that a normal moisturizing cream does not have".
9) In some countries, it is not yet defined whether sunbeds are harmful to health. If you're looking for an artificial tan using this method: get advice on your skin type and how long it can be exposed to these rays. Never sunbathe and then go to a tanning bed, or undergo this treatment with less than 48% difference between one exposure and another. If you are pregnant, don't even think about this method.
10) If you are taking any medication and want to sunbathe, it is best to check with your doctor first to see if there are any problems.
11) If you don't want to become a raisin, don't even think about using any type of oil, even if it has some type of solar factor. You will burn like a French fry. Some go even further and use cooking oil to get a tan. Needless to say, those who do that are some kind of kamikazes: Don't ever do that! It's extremely dangerous.
