help me get tan for school?
14/F
Advicenators,
I have a month until school starts
& i hav an hour or two every day to lay out
Just be outside, swim, read magazines, etc.
I was wondering, when is the best time of day to get tan? Is tanning oil a good or bad idea? Any tips? How long should i stay in the sun? How long does it take to get your face tan?
Thanks in advance

You might also keep in mind that while tanning gives a desirable skin tone, it could be endangering skin health later on down the road.

Well depending on where you live & how hot it gets there, it's normally best to not stay out between 10-2 for too long because thats the hottest part of the day. If you plan on being outside all day, use sunblock!!! If you just are out there for an hour or two you can use tanning oil because unless your REALLY white with no tan, you shouldn't burn.
Your face is normally one of the first things that tan.
When I tan, I normally stay out for about 2 hours on my back. Then I go inside and grab something to drink and/or eat, cool off, and go back out for another two hours on my stomach!
Good luck hun! ♥

Hey,
The best time to tan is usually between 12 & 2pm because the sun is basically at its highest and strongest point.
Tanning oil isn't a very good idea because it helps you tan but usually doesn't protect from UV rays that can cause skin cancer (and more wrinkles when you're older).
The best thing to use is a sunscreen, depending on how tan you are able to get usually, you could probably use an "8" sunscreen. The 8 sunscreen will provide you with the abililty to get tan, yet still help prevent bad UV rays.
Its best not to stay in the sun for too long or you may get burned & be sure to carry/drink plenty of water so you don't become dehydrated.
And the time your face takes to get tan depends. Some people's faces don't really tan so it may take longer to get it as tan as your body. Whereas some people's faces tan quite fast.
Pretty soon I'm sure you'll have a lovely tan. Just remember not to wear bathing suits that may give you an "akward" tan.
With Love,
Kori
