Sunburn is literally a “burn” to the skin that is caused by overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The energy contained in the UV rays is absorbed by the skin and slowly builds up over the course of exposure. A short exposure can cause tanning, longer exposure can cause burns. This means that all you need to do to prevent sunburn is limit your UV exposure – and there’s lots of ways to do that.

Decide whether you want to get rid of your tan lines by exposing the whiter areas of your skin to more ultraviolet rays or if you want to use a sunless tanner or bronzing lotion to achieve a more consistent skin tone. While evening out your tan lines with a sunless tanner may be a safer alternative, it may be harder to match your natural skin tone to the tan the product creates.

Apply self-tanners to safely get the tan you want. Many of the new brands include SPF in their sunless tanning lotions. A variety of shades are available depending on the brand you choose. This is a healthier way to get a tan since you don’t have to put your skin at risk by sunbathing, plus you get the added protection of the SPF.

Exfoliate. This is a critical step. If you skip it, you’re almost guaranteed uneven results. Sunless tanners work by coloring the dead surface layers of your skin. So, the faster the dead skin cells flake off the faster you lose your tan. Dry rough areas also tend to absorb more tanner and become too dark. If you don’t exfoliate, you’ll end up with some really dark areas and some areas where the color is peeling off.

You may not ever take a look at your back but when you’re wearing that sexy strapless swimsuit, your back is bared for all to see. You want your tan to be even across your entire body and that means making sure that your indoor tanning lotions are properly applied to your back. Solicit someone else at the salon to smooth it on for you. Some salons even provide this service as a really offer.

Choose your clothes carefully - You should pick clothes that cover all the parts you do not wish to tan. Self-tanning nude is not recommended for newcomers, because the results can be unpredictable. Make sure you select tight fitting clothes so that the self-tanner cannot go under your sleeves. You should also choose dark colored clothes, since spray tanners will stain light clothes.
