Just about everyone wants a golden tan. It just makes you look and feel better about yourself. There are "fake tanning" options out there, but for those of you who must have the real thing, here are some tips to make that tan last longer.
The first thing you want to do is apply a SPF. Contrary to what you might think, SPF lotions do not block out all the rays. The more fair your skin, the higher the SPF. This is crucial if you want to look like you spent the right amount of time with the baby oil, and not too much time with the kerosene heating oil.
Also, you will want to tan in blocks. Do not spend hours in the sun in the hopes of getting the tan that will last for the summer. That is not what is going to happen. Instead, you are going to end up with a burn that will hurt for days and then peel off by the end of the week. Instead, tan on one side about 10 minutes (no more) and then flip and do the other side for the same amount of time and that is it. If you want to stay outdoors, apply a high SPF.
Last, moisturize your skin after sunbathing and about 3 times daily to help keep that tan glowing.
