advice

ok so im sorry if this is a stupid question but does putting on sunscreen before you go outside to tan prevent you from getting tan? im using SPF 30 and it doesn't seem like im getting tan. im pretty white so i burn easily so what kind of sunscreen should i use if i do want to get a tan?

hey. if you put sunscreen on before you go outside, that does not prevent you from getting a tan. it is just to protect your skin from harmful rays. my advice would be to use a SPF 10-15 sunscreen. when you go outside to tan, stay out for about 20 minutes, come inside or about 5 minutes and then go back out. repeat this. this will allow your skin to soak in the rays so you wont get burnt. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
