Sunbathing by the swimming pool or sitting on the beach is sometimes preferred to other laborious safe tanning methods, because it makes for a pleasant, even relaxing pastime. Exfoliate and moisturize your skin before going to the beach – this way you create a smooth, ready-for-tan skin. You shouldn’t wear any makeup or perfume.
Apply a broad spectrum SPF protective lotion every 30 minutes or right after getting out of the water.
For an even, healthy tan change posture every 15 to 20 minutes, and stay no longer than 3 hours in the morning or in the afternoon, when the sun’s effect is less harmful.If you have sensitive, fair colored skin, you might want to get a good healthy tan without sun exposure: this way you avoid irritations and sunburns. We recommend L’Oreal’s Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Salon Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist which provides continuous wide angled coverage for you to create an even, gorgeous-looking healthy tan.
Also, if you prefer something fast drying, which will get you that deep, dark tan, you can try out Fake Bake Self-Tanning Mousse, containing natural ingredients that will make your sunless tan last longer than with other self-tanning products.
Whatever your choice of product to get that good, healthy-looking tan, your first step is to carefully exfoliate your body, paying particular attention to your knees, elbows and ankles. When applying the product, be sure to cover all your areas, without making any droplets.
