Beach Vacation: Secrets of the Perfect Tan
Dreamed of the perfect tanned skin? Learn about safe tanning rules, choosing products, and after-sun care.
A golden tan is not only beautiful, but also a sign of healthy skin if you tan correctly. The sun can be both a friend and an enemy, so it is important to know the basic rules of safe tanning.
First and most important — always use sunscreen with SPF of at least 30. Apply it 20-30 minutes before going out in the sun and renew every 2 hours, especially after swimming. Avoid the sun at peak activity — from 11 am to 4 pm. It is during this time that ultraviolet rays are most aggressive and can cause harm.
After the beach, be sure to take a cool shower and use moisturizing after-sun products. Drink plenty of water — this will help avoid dehydration and maintain skin elasticity. Don't forget about eye protection — sunglasses are mandatory. And remember: beauty is important, but health is above all!
