Be careful!
No matter how gorgeous a tanned skin looks, you should never endanger your own health. Everyone knows that solar radiation can do a lot of damage. Therefore it’s important that you takes sufficient precautions. Please read the following tips!

1. Always apply sunblock cream with a high protection factor. Use at least factor 20. Make sure to apply a sufficiently thick layer. That’s also the method the manufacturer uses to classify the factor of the cream. Make sure to buy a new bottle every year, as sunblock cream quickly loses its effectiveness.

Do not sunbath for more than 30 minutes, without protection.

2. Apply sunblock cream every two hours and make sure to reapply directly after swimming, even if the bottle states the contained cream is “waterproof”.

3. Do not sunbath between 12:00 AM and 03:00 PM. During this period the sun is at its zenith and the risk of sunburn is at its highest. Be aware that you also tan whilst in the shadows. Even if you do not sit directly in the sun, about 50% of the UV radiation will still reach your skin. Make sure to apply sufficient sunblock cream!

4. If despite all the precautions your skin still turns red or starts feeling burned, please make sure to move out of the sun and apply an after tanning lotion. The after tanning lotion should ideally contain some aloe vera.

5. When you wear a tan-too sticker, you have to be careful when removing the sticker and going back into the sun. The skin below the sticker will start tanning, but as it was protected from the sun by the sticker, it will be more sensitive to sunlight. Make sure to apply sufficient sun blocking cream!

Enjoy your tan-too this summer, but don’t forget about your health!
