How to Get a Good Natural Tan

While some people are obsesses with pale white skin, some enjoy a good bronze tan that makes their skin look sun kissed. There are many ways to enjoy a good natural tan and getting it can be fun if you know how. Well, you do not want to end up looking baked by lying for hours under the sun, all you need is a good melting gold appearance that gets you those second looks. Here goes, how to get a good natural tan.

Apply sun tan oil or lotion

Before you go under the bright sunlight smear a good amount of sun tan lotion or oil to keep your skin safe from sun damage and wrinkle free. You want the right amount of Vitamin D and a good shade of glowing gold. So apply the sun screen lotion generously all over your body. Do not forget the ears, toes and neck. Cover these areas particularly well. Applying a sun tan ensures good moisturization while you lay basking in the sun.

Wear your sun glasses

Put on those shades and walk into the bright sunlight. As you are getting a good natural tan ensure your eyes are not affected with specks of sand (if you choose to be on a beach) and also shield them from the sun rays.
Wear sun glasses that are dark and have a shield that protects your eyes from the harmful Ultra Violet rays.

Wear a two piece bikini suit

If you want a good natural tan you sure do not just want your hands and legs tanned and half yur body appears white. Well if you want to get a thorough job with good results wear a bikini suit so that the sun reaches every corner of your body that will stay exposed. It is the pefect opportunity to don a bikini and enjoy the sun in the warm weather.

Check the time

Getting a tan is good in the early hours of the morning. Stay under the sun from 8 to 11.30 am. It can be harmful for you to get a natural tan post 12 in the afternoon. The rays are extremely strong and can damage the skin or result in sun burns too. So get the tan in the morning sun that is pleasant and does not harm you. You can lie down and keep turning to tan your body well. You can use a timer to help yourself to take turns at the right time.

Arrange for a mat

Always carry a mat with you whether you decide to get tanned on your terrace, a friend’s garden or the beach. You can lie down on your mat and start the tanning process. You can even sit o it and apply sun tan oil or lotion. A thin sheet can help if you feel the sun is too harsh on you.

Stay hydrated with water

Drink plenty of water since the sun will dehydrate you. Keep a bottle of water besides to keep sipping as you keep tanning. 30 to 40 minutes in the sun are enough for a tan.

A good natural tan shows up in 2 -3 weeks. Do not try to force the results by spending extra hours in the sun. Do it steadily everyday and enjoy the glory of the Sun.
