Use sunscreen sunscreen instead of sunblock. Sunscreen helps skin absorb the sun’s rays and tan, but still protects skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Scheduled sunbathing. If you have a route, you will help your skin acclimate to the sun and avoid sunburn, although it will brown more slowly. You should start by sunbathing for 15 minutes, and add 5 minutes every week.

Buy a tanning booth if you’re not confident in tanning yourself. The price of this product ranges from 1,840,000 to 2,300,000 VND.

Use cream or gel tanning products

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ea/Get-a-Good-Tan-Without-Getting-Sunburned-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Get- a-Good-Tan-Without-Getting-Sunburned-Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ea/Get-a-Good-Tan- Without-Getting-Sunburned-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Get-a-Good-Tan-Without-Getting-Sunburned-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Exfoliate with scrub beads and loofah. Immediately after exfoliating and applying moisturizer, you should apply a tanning cream or gel immediately so that the skin does not stain.

Use a moisturizer that supports browning.

You should choose products that do not react with DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a very important ingredient in most tanning products.
Moisturizer can also take the place of places where you don’t apply dye cream or gel.

Get help. You may need someone’s help to apply cream or gel to your back or other difficult areas.

Advice

You should use a lip balm with SPF 15 to avoid sunburn.
If you get a sunburn, cover your skin with a wet washcloth or shower with cool water. You should then apply aloe vera gel to your skin, being careful not to break the blisters. Taking pain relievers also helps the skin to feel better.
When you exfoliate before using a tanning product, choose spherical scrub beads instead of granules. Scrubs should also be oil-free to allow the tanning product to come into direct contact with the skin.
Using tanning beds before sun exposure does not reduce the chance of sunburn. In fact, people often skip sunscreen before sun exposure, which makes the skin more susceptible to burning.
If you feel like your skin will never brown, here are a few tips:
- Apply a moderate amount of sunscreen so that your skin is not burned, but still exposed to the sun.
- You don’t have to be in the sun to get brown skin, just running around in the sun with sunscreen is enough. Enjoy the outdoors, and before you know it, your skin has browned.
- If the tips above don’t help, remember that a light skin tone is just as beautiful as a brown one. A healthy white skin is more attractive than a red, flaky and itchy skin. If you take care of your skin for a long time, your skin will not have wrinkles or scars from sunburn. Always be confident in your skin!

Warning

Compared to sunbathing, you’re more likely to get skin cancer if you’re tanning indoors, according to the American Cancer Society, which is more likely if you start tanning at a young age. So don’t use the tanning booth. If you can only dye your skin indoors, only dye it 3 times a week at most.
