When it comes to UV tanning, taking the right precautions is vital in order to ensure the safety of your health and skin. This month at Bare Bottom Tanning, we’re adding to last month’s blog and discussing ways in which you can protect the quality and safety of your skin while UV tanning.
Exfoliate Before Tanning
Before your tanning session, exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells and create a smoother surface for an even tan. This helps prevent uneven coloration and can reduce the risk of burning, as fresh skin tans more evenly. However, avoid harsh exfoliants that can irritate your skin.
Protect Sensitive Areas
Certain areas of your body are more sensitive to UV radiation. It’s important to use protective covers or clothing designed for tanning beds to shield these areas. While it may seem unconventional, it’s a vital step in preventing discomfort and burns.
Stay Hydrated and Moisturized
Proper skin care is essential to avoid burning. Hydrate your skin by drinking plenty of water, and moisturize regularly with a high-quality lotion or cream. Well-moisturized skin is less likely to burn and will maintain its youthful appearance.
Protect Your Face
Your facial skin is delicate and often more sensitive than the rest of your body. To protect your face from potential burning, use a facial tanning lotion with SPF or a dedicated facial tanning shield.
Be Mindful of Medications and Skin Conditions
Certain medications and skin conditions can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation. If you’re taking any medications or have a skin condition, consult your healthcare provider before using a tanning bed. They can advise you on whether it’s safe to tan and provide specific recommendations to minimize the risk of burning.
