Obtaining the perfect tan

Nothing looks better than a natural tan. There are lotions, sprays and creams you can use that will produce a fake tan, but there really can be no substitute for the golden brown of a natural tan, obtained through long hard hours of lying in the sun. Despite the fact that all you really need to do is lie in the sun, getting a natural and good looking tan can be harder than you think. Here are a few pointers on how to get the perfect tan.

The aim of the game is to become as brown as possible without damaging your skin, or running the risk of getting skin cancer, and there are several hoops to jump through to do this. The thing you should do above all else is making sure you are well protected from the sun. Make sure that you have rubbed sun cream into every exposed bit of skin you have, which will avoid you developing arbitrary burn patterns on your body. And remember that how small the factor number is not a function of how tanned you will get, but rather is an indicator for how often you have to reapply the lotion to your skin.

The second thing you must do is be patient. Lying in the sun for too long at any one time increases the risk of skin cancer or just burning. You should only be spending a couple of hours in the sun at a time, and be taking regular breaks in the shade, to build up your tan incrementally. It will take longer than just lying in the sun all day, but the result will be a great tan that you have not sacrificed your health for.

The backs of your arms, your armpits, and other places like places on your thigh are often very difficult to get tanned. If you are really dedicated to getting the perfect tan, you will have to adopt some pretty strange positions for some extended periods of time, to make sure you get that even sweep of golden brown skin. You may look like an idiot lying with your limbs splayed on the beach, but the results will be worth it.

Once you have obtained your tan, and even while you are still in the process of getting it, looking after your skin by using moisturiser is vital. This ensures that even when winter comes, your tan will maintain its golden glow.
