TIP TUESDDAY!

Yes, tanning still isn't safe but, i know you all tan, or would love to have a tan. Here is my TANNING TIPS:

OUTDOOR TANNING... 

MY FAVORITE:

If you're tanning outside:

Wear sunscreen. Sunscreen is an absolute must.  Sunscreen has an SPF factor, which is the number of times you're being protected by the sun's harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays. This means that sunscreen still allows you to get a tan; it just makes tanning more gradual and prevents you from burning.

Re-apply. You need to apply sunscreen approximately 20 minutes before going outside, and re-apply if you go into the water, even if your lotion is waterproof.

Do NOT use oil.  oil is literally asking the sun to radiate your skin and fry you.

Do not get burned. Speaking of getting burned, people erroneously believe that a burn will fade away into a nice tan. This could not be more false. A burn will cause your skin to become all blistery and splotchy (since a sunburn means you have broken blood vessels), and your skin will just peel away to reveal the next layer.

Think gradual. The best attitude when it comes to tanning, You will not get a great tan in one day, but you will after several days of being exposed to the sun.
