Question

Do you tan faster in the water at the beach or just laying in the sun at the beach?

Answer 1

IN THE WATER, even in shallow water. because the water reflects the rays toward you. so you'll tan faster that way.

Answer 2

In the water by far, but only the exposed skin of course.

Answer 3

definatly water. but its better to just lay out at the becah instaed for me cause i get burned more so i need the tanning oil.

Answer 4

In the water. The water magnifies the intensity of the sun's beams. Be careful, though, you also burn alot faster in water.

Answer 5

Actually, you burn faster in the water because of the waters reflection of the harmful UV rays, but you don't tan faster by being in the water.  Plus, only the parts of your body exposed while in the water will get such rays.  Therefore you can control the amount of sun your entire body gets by laying out by the water & not in it!!  Thus making for a faster tan & not a painful burn!!!  Remember, burnt skin peels off & a tan does not!

Answer 6

They say by the water.   It's supposed to reflect the sun's rays.

Answer 7

there's no way to tan faster other than the fake and bake system. you gut burnt much faster out of the water.
