The summer is upon us. We have already entered the best phase of pool parties, evening barbeques, slow and relaxing tea times, and lounging out on the beach side. It is a popular trend to go tanning every summer and this year is no different. If you are planning to go tan this summer, we have compiled a couple of tips for you to get a safe tan.

Tip #1: Don’t be stingy with sunscreen.

This is by far the most important tip you should remember any time you go tanning under the sun. It doesn’t matter what tone your skin is or how easily you get burns, sunscreen is going to be your new best friend. It is recommended that a sunscreen with SPF 50 is good enough for your tanning session. Lather up on sunscreen to protect yourself from the harmful UV rays of the sun.

Tip #2: Keep hydrating yourself during your session under the sun.

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping yourself hydrated. Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration and severe headaches later. Prioritizing hydration will reap long term benefits as well. Your skin will stay hydrated instead of drying out because of continued exposure to the sunlight.

Tip #3: Exfoliate before applying sunscreen and change angles.

Exfoliate before you apply sunscreen as it will remove all the dead skin cells and open up your skin pores. The sunscreen will then easily settle into the clean pores and protect your skin more effectively against harmful UV rays. It will also help you tan evenly.

Don’t sit or lay in one position for too long. Change your positions often so each side gets an equal and healthy amount of sunlight. Staying in one pose is a disaster recipe for bad skin burns and uneven tan lines.

The How-To’s of Sunscreen Use

With spring right around the corner, the sun is going to start making its grand appearance. So what does this mean for our delicate skin? It means that it’s time to start thinking about protection from those sun rays. Throughout this blog, we will discuss the correct way to use sunscreen for these upcoming sunny months!

Ingredients

When choosing a sunscreen, taking a hard look at the ingredients is key. Many sunscreens don’t have all the essential components that are necessary to protect you from the sun. You should look for a sunscreen that has both UVA and UVB protection; this ensures that you are protected from the burning and aging effects of the sun. A good way to know if it protects against both is to see if it contains zinc or zinc oxide.

SPF

When choosing an SPF you should aim for no less than 30. If you choose a sunscreen that has less, then you aren’t as protected as you should be. It’s also good to keep in mind that if you are choosing an SPF that is higher than 30, you still need to treat it as if it were exactly 30. This means reapplying it every two hours, especially if you are sweating or playing in the water.

Reinforcements

If you’re spending a day out in the sun, you shouldn’t be relying on sunscreen alone. While your skin is temporarily protected, there are other parts of your body that also need to be defended. It’s also important to note that sunscreen only does the bare minimum. Using a hat to cover your face and keep the sun off can be extremely helpful. You should also keep in mind that your lips and eyes need protection too. Sunglasses and chapstick are also extremely important when spending time out in the sun.

 

Conclusion

Without proper protection, the sun can be extremely dangerous; that doesn’t mean it needs to be our enemy, however. With the proper precautions and education, you can still fearlessly enjoy the sun this coming spring. Make sure you check the ingredients, stay smart about the SPF level, and bring out additional sun-shielding  protection to ensure a fun and safe time for all. For more skin tips check out our website!
