What is the best way to tan without going to a tanning salon? What products? What environment?

I heard that oil is not good for you and also that to get a better tan it is best to be doing something physical or active and that is why construction workers across the street have better tans than the girl laying out by the pool all day. I heard that hydration is great for tanning and also lotion but not oil. Is any of this true? Do you have any other suggestions. I need a tan and quick. Its bothering me bad.

The oil is not good for acheiving a tan. Mineral Oil is not absorbed by the skin. It forms a layer and so your skin cannot get sufficient oxygen to oxidize a tan. And yes it is true that people who are active in the sun get abetter tan then just laying there. Because those that are active have a greater amount of blood supply pumping thorugh....more BLOOD=MORE OXYGEN=BETTER TAN. And yes hydration is key to a tan. You should use an aloe vera based lotion after showering and tanning to replenish moisture lost. When you skin is healthy it tans better as a tan is natures response to the sun...You do not want to burn. Burning is what can lead to damage of the skin. Start off using a higher SPF until you build up a base tan. As your skin developes a tan it will also function as an SPF...Your skin is a beautiful thing....and if you would like more information about the benefits of getting sun....www.tanningtruth.com. For all the people who say the sun will give you cancer....THE SUN IS WHY LIFE IS POSSIBLE ON THIS PLANET! Look into how many people actually die of melanoma vs. people who die from osteoprosis...melanoma last study I read 1500 vs 50,000 or more from osteoprosis! What does the sun give you VITAMIN D!!!!!

Reply:Use a good tanning lotion with a spf blocker to keep from getting skin cancer. A pool does it the best it is the reflection off the water. Get someone with a boat, and lay on the deck.


One day your brown or if you can;'t get a cleap pool that you can lay in and stay cool while you toast.
