Many people enjoy having a tan. Sun tanning products are varied and make many promises. There are a few things to remember when choosing products to use on your skin in the sun. Do not let your skin burn, exfoliate before applying sun tanning lotion, and keep your skin hydrated.

One of the most important things to remember about sun tanning is to not get a sun burn. It is counter productive to your goals, it hurts, and it can lead to serious complications later. Complications include skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Getting a burn will undo the effect you are trying to get from sun tanning.

The amount of time spent sun tanning should be spread out over several days. Never spend more than two hours at one time in the sun. It is best to start with fifteen minutes then increase time spent sun tanning slowly. If you are in a hurry or the weather is too overcast, there are tanning spa's you can try.

Before applying any sun tanning products to your skin, exfoliate first with a loofah. This can help your skin hold the tan longer by getting rid of all the dead skin cells first. Also use moisturizer after being in the sun to keep your skin and tan looking supple and beautiful.

A sun tanning lotion with at least a fifteen SPF should always be used. If you have fair or freckled skin, use a higher number SPF. It is a good idea to apply the sun tanning product to your skin at least thirty minutes before going out. This will allow it time to absorb into the skin. In addition, reapply the product every time you get in and out of the water or participate in activities.

When outside sun tanning, do not forget about your lips, eyelids, and the bottom of your feet. You may not want to tan them but you do need to cover them in order to protect them from getting sunburn. Also drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
