Careless tanning has affected people around the
globe. And it can affect you too. Many people are reported to have
suffered from deadly skin cancer due to excessive as well as unprotected
exposure to UV rays. And such reports have given enough room to the
myths associated with tanning. Wherein, we should have worked towards
spreading tanning do' and don'ts to have a healthy tan. Better late than
never. Here is a list of caution for you.
1. First things first, know your skin type first. For, your skin type plays a crucial role in
deciding duration of your tanning session.
2. Now before you lie for a tanning session, it is important for you to clean your skin
completely from the ingredients of any makeup or perfume or deodorant as
these things make your skin more prone to sunburns. Take a shower before a session if possible.
3. Moisturizing your skin with lotions, before and after the tanning session, is also a must. Simply do not rub
on completely, allow some visible portion of cream to remain on the skin
to increase protection.
4. If you are tanning under the sun, wear hat and sunglasses. Tanning bikinis and nickers are also essential both
for sun tanning and sunless tanning. Inside a tanner wear those goggles
meant for tanning only.
5. Tanning session should be carried out for 15 to 20 minutes only. This time exposure doesn't allow the UV rays
to make extreme penetration. For sun tanning prefer the morning light
since it has low harmful radiations.
6. Don't drink water for three or four hours after tanning.
7. Give at least a gap of three days before the next tan. This time is needed for the synthesizing
the melanin in your skin.
8. Moisturize more and more from the next day of tanning. It helps to gain the tan faster. Choose SPF and DHA
formula lotions or moisturizers. They supply the required nutrients to your skin.
9. Consult a doctor immediately if you find something unpleasant like red rashes or spots or irritation of the skin after or
during the session.
