Tanning


Question Posted Wednesday April 27 2005, 11:33 am

Hey, I am 16 and a female. I really want to get a tan (since I live in FL). I am afraid about skin cancer and aging skin. Is it safe to tan out for about 10 min at a time? I have very fair skin and I don't want to mess up my skin. Has anyone ever tried natural glow by jergens, does it work?

its actually really dangerous if you stay out in the sun and not where sunscreen if you want to get a tan you can get a spray tan

i would put on sun tan lotion so you dont get burned but you will tan slowly.

i've tryed something like natral glow,it dosent really tan you skin that much,but just enough,its good for me at least,so i dont look like a pale person. Well tanning,i'd say do something active in the sun for 45 mins. Thats what works for me,i have fair skin as well.

Well, if you dont want to go to a tanning bed, Im sure you'll be okay for more than 10 minutes (if you're comfortable doing that) out in the sun. For your skin to get messed up, I guess meaning burnt, or even tan, it would take much longer than 10 minutes so no worries. Just make sure you apply lots of sunscreen a few minutes before you go outside so your skin can soak up the sun screen and work properly! Since you have fair skin + if you burn easily, I would go for a 15 at the minimum SPF. ♥ always Laura

You should be fine as long as you use a sunscreen. Make sure to apply it about 20 minutes before you leave the house.
Use a very strong SPF (say 15-30) so that you don't have to worry about it wearing off if you're staying dry or so that it last longers if you plan to swim or hang out at the beach.
