Experts teach you how to get a bronze tan

Weekend evening sunbathing

Sunbathe every day, fresh life

It is not always possible to plan a trip to the seaside. In the city, to be a sunshine man, you need to use your brain to think of ways. "This is not a problem for me." Sunshine man Sean said that his biological clock is like that of an old man, going to bed early and getting up early, so he usually gets up earlier in the morning and sunbathes for half an hour when the sun rises at 6 or 7 o'clock. It feels like it not only "tans", but also oxygenates the brain. Then he takes a shower and goes to work, and he is refreshed and energetic all day long.

Weekends are a great time. On the south-facing balcony, spread out a yoga mat, make a pot of wild chrysanthemum tea, pick a book in the study, and you can read and sunbathe comfortably on your own balcony. Sometimes I choose to sunbathe in the morning from 6 or 7 to 10 o'clock, doing yoga and reading, and I feel healthy and refreshed; sometimes I choose to sunbathe at 4 or 5 o'clock in the evening, listening to music until sunset, which can relax and comfort myself. "Sunbathing at home is convenient and freer, so I am not a petty bourgeois! I just know how to make the best use of things to achieve the highest cost-effectiveness!"

Starting from May, Sean would go swimming in the open-air swimming pool of the community club every weekend. This not only allows him to exercise his entire body, but also allows him to bask in the sun. Compared to the indoor heated swimming pool, exercising and getting a tan kills two birds with one stone, and is more cost-effective.

The skin tone should be healthy and even, but it must be firm, elastic, translucent and shiny. In short, "tanning" is to achieve the effect of "black, shiny and bright". Therefore, it cannot be achieved by just sunbathing. A true "tanning" expert may not spend less effort than "whitening".

Before sun exposure:

Eating foods containing tyrosine will make your skin both easier to color and more lustrous, including cheese, tuna, walnuts, peanut butter and red wine.

In the sun:

Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before sunbathing and reapply oil every 2 hours while sunbathing to protect your skin from damage and aging.

Choose a tanning sunscreen with a low UVA coefficient and a high UVB coefficient. This can protect the skin from sunburn and achieve the purpose of tanning. Since tanning is popular abroad, there are many varieties of this type of tanning sunscreen on foreign beaches, and it can also be purchased in domestic sunbathing clubs. When sunbathing, pay attention to applying it evenly and turning over regularly to "turn the edges". Otherwise, once it becomes a "tattoo pattern", it will not be so easy to change it. In order to tan but maintain skin elasticity, Sean will choose a tanning cream with moisturizing effect, which can protect the skin from sunburn and accelerate the coloring effect.

Be sure to protect your eyes when sunbathing. UVA can damage your eyes, so wear UVA-blocking sunglasses even at home to stay cool.

After sun exposure:

Focus on skin soothing and moisturizing, choose a mild and moisturizing shower gel, and do not use overscalding water to wash; after all, ultraviolet rays have a certain degree of irritation to the skin, so you can use after-sun lotion to soothe the skin appropriately.

Just after sunbathing, you can eat less food and drink rich in vitamin B or vitamin C, because these ingredients can easily make tanned skin white again.

Expert advice

Not everyone can tan. It depends on your temperament, personality and skin type. If you are gentle and not athletic, it is not recommended to tan easily, unless you want to change your image. People with sensitive skin are not suitable for long-term sun exposure and strong light, so of course you should do a short sunbath test first.

The first "virgin sunbathing" should not exceed 10 minutes. Often the first effect is not too obvious, but you should not extend the sunbathing time just because you want to achieve results in a hurry. Observe your skin to see if there is any discomfort, red spots, or other discomfort symptoms, and then gradually extend the time.
