Introdcution to suntan lotion

Back when I was 15 to 20 I tried every Summer to get the greatest suntan ever and I used to tell my buddy Darin White and I would one day write a book about how to get the best suntan. Well this is not a book but it is an opportunity to spill everything I ever learned over the years about how to get the best suntan.

Using Suntan lotion

I know that you may think that using suntan lotion may be against the idea of getting a dark tan it is really a requirement. First of all choose a suntan lotion that has a lot of moisturizer in it. What I would recommend if you want to get a dark tan is to make sure that you have about a SPF factor of 8 or 10 and make sure that you spread it all over, do not miss any spots.

The good thing about wearing a suntan lotion is that it allows your body to gradually get a tan instead of tanning very quickly and then getting a burn. You want to go slow getting a great tan as it will last longer and be easier to get dark without burning. Remember that suntan lotion does not do anything for about a half an hour so you must but the sun tan lotion on a little while before you go out.

Using suntan lotion on your whole body

If at all possible get some kind of reflective blanket to lie on when you are suntanning so that your sides as well as the insides and outsides of your legs get a tan. The sun comes from above and the most impressive tan is one that is smooth and even around your whole body. It is easy enough to get your front and back tanned but how about your sides and the back of your arms?

When tanning your front have your arms up and your head slightly back so that you can tan under your arms as well as the back of your arms and get your neck tanned as well. When on your stomach keep your arms out as well so that you are tanning the tops of your forearms and shoulders. Flip every 15 minutes to half hour.

Natural suntan lotion

Natural sun tan lotions can be found with a wide variety of herbs and plants that have been added in to help prevent the sun from ruining your skin. They are not only used as a natural sun tan lotion, but some also have extra features added to them.

For instance, some natural sun tan lotions will add in things such as aromatherapy to help you relax, or some nutrients that will not only stop the sun from burning you, but also will help to moisturize your skin. Another excellent benefit of natural suntan lotion is that it is better for marine life. Why enter the ocean with chemicals and damage marine life when you can help prevent it?

CONCLUSION

If you are looking for the perfect suntan lotion, natural suntan lotions are as good as it gets. The ingredients in many natural sun tan lotions are superior in quality and will give you excellent results while helping to protect your skin.
