Prep Your Skin
Exfoliate your skin a day before tanning to remove dead cells.
Keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing regularly.
Choose the Right Sunscreen
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Apply sunscreen 15–30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours.
Time It Right
Avoid peak sun hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) to minimize the risk of sunburn.
Opt for shorter sun exposure periods and gradually build your tan.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
Use a moisturizing after-sun lotion to lock in hydration.
Sun Protection Is Key
Wear a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective sunglasses for added protection.
Use a lip balm with SPF to protect delicate lip skin.
Maintain Your Tan
Moisturize daily to keep your skin supple and your tan lasting longer.
Avoid hot showers and exfoliating until you're ready to remove the tan.
Alternative Options
Consider spray tans or self-tanning lotions for a UV-free glow.
