When in the sun, you should protect your head with a hat and your eyes with sunglasses. Before tanning, use sunscreen SPF 30 in the morning and SPF 50 in the afternoon.

Apply it 10 minutes before going out into the sun. The optimal time to stay on the beach in direct sunlight is before 11:00 and after 16:00. The most dangerous time is from 12:00 to 15:00.

Food and drinks It is not recommended to sunbathe on an empty stomach or on a full stomach. It is advisable to eat 1-1.5 hours before going to the beach. Try to drink plenty of water while out in the sun. By the way, for a beautiful tan, it is recommended to drink apricot and carrot juices. And it is advisable to give up alcoholic drinks.

Remember to change positions every 5-10 minutes while applying a temperature-contrast tan. Roll over onto one back, one stomach. After warming up, do not rush into the water to cool down. Spend some time in the shade to reduce stress caused by the temperature contrast. After swimming, dry yourself with a towel.

Skin care after sunbathing It is also important to take care of your skin after sunbathing. Under the sun, the skin becomes drier and flaky, so moisturizers and emollients should not be neglected. After sunbathing, it is recommended to take a cool shower and apply nourishing lotion.
