HOW TO SERIES...

HI!! SO this is the beginning of my "How To" series!!

In the spirit of summer, I'm kicking the series off with a safe sun section!

Always remember SPF!! (even if you're not planning on staying in the sun for long)

How to get a good Tan without Burning

Do you have light skin or dark skin? 

1. Light skin will need a higher SPF sunscreen and dark skin that is not prone to burning needs a lower SPF.
   
2. Don't sunbathe in the afternoon, as these are the hottest hours in the day, mostly 11am until 3pm.
3. If you are going to be swimming or cooling off in a pool, make sure your sunscreen is waterproof, and reapply it every hour.
4. Dark colors absorb sun so wear light colored clothes which will reflect the light and keep you cooler. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. 
5. Don't lie in the sun for hours in a row. Every hour or half an hour, get up and cool off. 
6. If you do get sunburned, stay in the shade until it has healed. After you have gotten burned, have a cool bath and apply a cool compress to the burns to soothe them. (Aloe works well!)
7. If you're young and burn very easy OR if you're just coming back from college and are super pale!!, use a factor 50/40 so your skin can get use to the sun. 

This is the TANNING part!!!

1. Exfoliate your skin using a loofah. This will remove DEAD SKINNNN
   
2. Apply suntan lotion with a low SPF, such as 8 or 10. The suntan lotion should have a moisturizer in it, such as macadamia nut oil, as well as aloe vera. Aloe helps prevent burns, and keeps the skin moist.
3. Lay out in an area that receives a lot of sun light.
   
4. Tan for no more than 15 or 20 minutes the first time, and no more than 30 minutes each day thereafter.
5. Wash your body with a moisturizing body soap. **Regular soap can dry the skin, making the tan fade faster.
6. Repeat this entire process, minus the exfoliating, until you have reached your tanning goal.
   

SO basically. Try to have a burn free summer!! :D

Enjoy!
