Our skin usually looks better when it's a bit tanned - it gives the skin a warm glow, conceals blemishes, and helps colorful outfits stand out. However, getting beautiful tanned skin isn't easy - you'll worry about the effects of UV rays, skin turns oddly red from sunburns, and uneven spots. With a little knowledge and preparation, though, you can overcome these obstacles and get the tanned skin you want - this article will show you how. Follow these simple steps for shiny brown skin in no time!

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Sun exposure

1. 

   Choose a UV source. For sun tan from ultraviolet rays, nothing can beat the familiar sun. However, if the weather doesn't allow it, it's also effective to use a dye bed, an alternative you can use year-round for glossy brown skin.
   • Keep it in moderation - beautiful skin can turn into tan if you stay in the oven for too long.

2. 

   
   
   Moisturizes the skin. Skin supplied with enough moisture will have a more beautiful tan than rough dry skin.Before preparing for eye-catching tanned skin, you should do the following:
   • When you take a shower, remove the dry, dry cuticles by gently rubbing them with a hard towel, a loofah, or an exfoliating soap.
   • Moisturize the skin with lotion containing PCA salts. It is a naturally occurring ingredient on the skin that helps maintain a healthy skin epidermis and is responsible for absorbing moisture from the air.
   • Wear a sunscreen with an SPF that is appropriate for your skin. If you have fair skin, use a cream with a higher SPF than someone with darker skin. However, no matter what type of skin your skin is or how you take care of it, you should always use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.
   • If you plan to go into the water, make sure the sunscreen is non-slip or apply extra sunscreen when out of the water. If not, you can apply more sunscreen according to the product's instructions - usually after a few hours.

3. 

   
   
   Apply sunscreen when sun drying! If you only sit on the beach and stay in the sun for about an hour, use a product with a sun protection factor of 4 to 15, depending on the brightness of your skin and your level of skin care.
   • If you don't use sunscreen while you are in the sun, UVA and UVB rays can still harm your skin even if you don't get sunburned!
   • Use more lip balm with sunscreen. Ideally, you should apply sunscreen in the shade and let it soak into your skin about 20-25 minutes before going out into the sun. Apply additional sunscreen as needed if you go swimming and the cream you use is not waterproof. You should also apply the cream every few hours as directed on the product.
   • If you notice redness in your skin, stop sunbathing right away - you already have sunburn and continuing exposure will worsen the sunburn, increasing your risk of serious damage.

4. 

   
   
   Choose suitable clothes when sun drying. If you do not want your skin to appear unevenly colored, you should wear a swimsuit you will use when swimming. Wearing the same swimsuit will help you show off your smooth, flawless brown skin.
   • Or don't wear a swimsuit in the sun if possible. The spotless brown skin is definitely still better than the skin with a few irregular markings.

5. 

   Find a sun drying spot. You can sunbathe in your yard, at the beach, or anywhere that's sunny. All you need is a tanning lotion, water and a couch or towel.
   • Place a chair or towel in a place where sunlight can shine directly on you.

6. 

   Move while sun drying. Think of a "roast chicken". For beautiful, even brown skin, you have to be constantly on the move. You will expose it to the front, back, sides, and areas where sunlight cannot reach - like the skin under your arms. Or take one day to expose the body later and the other to expose it first.
   • If you don't want to lie down all day and still have brown skin, another alternative is a brisk walk or just a walk. This not only helps you get more sun exposure for brown skin, but also helps you become slim and slim at the same time. Great!

7. 

   Protect eyes. The eyes can also burn. Even so, when sunbathing, it's best to wear a hat or close your eyes instead of sunglasses. Because direct sunlight on the optic nerve stimulates the anterior hypothalamus gland of the brain, leading to the production of melanin, giving you dark brown skin.

8. 

   Water supply! Make sure you drink plenty of water. Or sometimes you can jump into the pool to cool off. Don't worry, this won't have much of an effect on tanned skin. Don't forget to apply sunscreen right away.

9. 

   After sun exposure, moisturize your skin. Use a lotion with aloe extract to soothe and moisturize the skin. This will keep the skin healthy and prevent dry, flaky skin caused by the sun. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Use a tanning product

1. 

   Skip the sun drying step. If you have fair skin and are often prone to sunburn or want to reduce your health risks, then sun drying or using a UV-dyed bed is a wrong choice. You will not know if your skin is sunburned until your skin is truly sunburned and damaged.

2. 

   Self-browning skin. Companies like Neutrogena, L’Oreal, Victoria's Secret and many others make products that help you have even, smooth brown skin.
   • According to the instructions, you will apply lotion or spray the product evenly on the skin, making sure to cover the entire surface of the skin. The best lotions are those that do not squash, that is, do not clog pores.
   • You will need a friend's help to apply the product on your back, unless you have very long or very flexible arms.

3. 

   Resolve your restrictions. Visit a salon that has a tanning service and let them help you get your full brown skin. In just a few minutes, they will professionally spray the tanning product over your entire body.

4. 

   Read product information. Before you run out of money, read reviews of products and services - be careful when using a tan spray as the skin can turn orange. advertisement

Advice

• Aloe vera can be used as a skin care product after sun exposure and / or as a soothing product that prevents burns.
• When you are in the sun, make sure your sunglasses do not leave circles around your eyes.
• Focus on applying a lot of sunscreen to your shoulders, face, ears, and feet, or in places where there is little sun exposure.
• If you get a sunburn, you should try using 100% olive oil and iodine or cocoa powder and don't stay in the sun for a few days. This will help you have an eye-catching brownish skin right after.
• Begin sun exposure for a short period of about 10 minutes a day for sensitive skin. If you don't see a problem, you can gradually increase your sun exposure time. If red or itchy skin develops, you should stop sun exposure for a few days.
• Don't share sunscreen or compare yourself to others. If you have fair skin and sunbathe on the beach with a friend with darker skin then you will need a sunscreen with a higher sun protection rating and you cannot stay in the sun for too long.
• If you choose an artificial tan - which is usually safer and gives you a real tan, choose one that doesn't give your skin an orange color.
• If it's your first time using a tanning service, don't take it too long; Talk to the staff there about recommended durations.
• Drink plenty of water so that the body does not become dehydrated and wax your legs before sun, if you wax your legs after sun exposure, you will see white spots on the legs.
• Do not use baby oil on your skin to help brown your skin. You will get sunburned.
• Remember to use lip balm to protect your lips.
• Be sure to turn around when you sunbathe so that you don't get streaks on your skin.

Warning
