Beautiful tan

Remember that being at the sun is safe till 10 in the morning and after 5 in the evening. Even healthy and young people mustn't stay at the sun more than two hours a day.

Pay attention to your clothes. Fabric is not able to protect the skin from the harmful sun rays. For example, cotton lets through 6% of the sunrays, thin synthetic fabrics get through more rays that make about 10-50%. Even bathing in water no matter where in the sea or in the swimming pool the skin gets 60% of radiation. That is why the period of bathing must be included in the general time of staying at the sun.

Increase the doze of radiation not more than in 20%. Don't overdo and burn the skin. Even the little skin redness is bad. If it happened, stay in the shadow for some days. Don't even try to use the scrub after sunbaths because doing it, you delete the natural defence layer of our skin.

The lotions on base of the alcohol are also not the best variant. They dry the skin a lot and may cause its not even darkening. After the suntan the washing shower gel will be the best. It will be better if it has the note "after tan". The main speciality of all after sun cosmetics is the high concentration of the substances destined to wet and to calm the skin down. But if you don't have such gel, something for the sensitive skin will be good. The water for washing must be warm. After the shower it is necessary to put the mask or the moistening cream.

All tan lotions have the notes UVB and UVA. The SPF depends on the type of the filter that is defined with the help of numbers from 3 to 30.
