How can i get a perfect under the sun tan, without having myself burned?

I am going on vacation to Jamaica, and i need some advise. I wanted to get tanned, I wanted to naturaly change my skin tone. the problem is when ever i get under the sun, i end up getting burned. How can i get a tan without getting burned, and what tanning lotion should i use that you would recomend?


I also wanted to know when and how long should i stay under the sun?

on the first day, apply lots of high factor sun cream ( the factor is only a multiple of how long you can stay in the sun without burning) and stay out for only a half hour at a time. avoid the sun when it is at its peak, e.g. around midday to 2-3 pm. keep reapplying when you think you might burn, i.e. if you normally burn in twenty minutes, then factor 20 means you can stay out for 400 minutes...but reapply whenever you swim/dress and ideally every half hour to an hour.


on the second day, reduce the amount of sun tan lotion, but follow the same routine. on the third, reduce it more etc etc but never reduce it to nithing! better be safe than sorry





hope this helps a bit :)
Reply:Ever heard of suncream? Its great!
Reply:Have someone sit on the part you don't want to tan. It may even take more than one person to help you tan the parts you are interested in tanning. good luck
Reply:put on the lotion, spread the time spent under the sun, during the entire week, not just one day.

Seeing as how you"re probably fair-skinned and don't get in the sun often I would suggest a sun screen with at least a spf of 25.


Before going into the sun apply it all over exposed areas of your


body. Don't forget underarms and especially the nose where many people seem to burn the worst. If you go into the water reapply the lotion when you come out as a lot of sun screens are not water proof.


If you think you'll be in the sun for quite a while reapply the lotion often. You can't apply too much. But, it's still a good idea to put on a "T" if you're maybe playing some volleyball or something on the beach. Go it a little at a time. If you try to spend hours in the sun on day one you may just ruin the rest of your vacation. Use caution and a little sense and you'll have a great time there. Have fun!
