Tips for tanning outside?

Question

I am going outside to tan for the first time today. I already have a slight base tan from a self tanner. I have on spf 15.

What are some tips for tanning outside? It's 12:20 so how long do I need to be out there?

I live in florida and its about 87 degrees, with a uv index of around 7.

(Yes, I know how dangerous tanning is, but I will probably never do it again. I just want to try it out.)

Answer 1

ummmm about...... 20 min! or 10!!!! hahaahhahahahha i love fl!! i live here and i put on 30 spf at the beach and i'm there for like 2 hours i only get about 2 shades darker

Answer 2

okay, my friend swears by this method.

1. use a little bit of tanning oil all over.

2. tan for fifteen minutes on each side.

3. then you can jump in a pool, or maybe run through a sprinkler if you'd like.

4. put on suncreen on places where you are starting to burn.

5. tan for another fifteen minutes on each side.

if you are slightly burnt, it's fine, cause it will probably turn into a tan by tomorrow or the next day.

Answer 3

you should but on at least spf 20 or 30. dont stay out there too long, or you'll get sunburned! good luck!

Answer 4

Don't sit there and try to get a tan in one day. Sit outside for like an hour a day every day and you won't burn, and you'll tan faster.  

Answer 5

i know how bad people say tanning is....but i live in the sun in the summer time. dont count the self tanner as a base tan, because its not really a tan....it depends if you are naturaly light skinned, or if you have an olive complexion to begin with. since its your first time i would suggest you wear sun screen. i dont use any sunscreen when i tan, i actually use sun tan lotion to make me darker, but dont use anything like that untill you have a good base tan, you dont want to burn...
