Tips on tanning safely in the Caribbean?

Question

I am leaving for the Caribbean tomorow and I am staying for a week. I really want to come back to Indiana with an awesome tan. Does anyone have any tips on getting a noticable tan safely?Thanks!

Answer 1

It can be pretty had to tan there:

If you're going to be going in and out of the water a lot, use a strong, 50+ sunblock and use it often, if not, it will rinse off and you'll be burned

If you're going to be on the beach mostly, then use an spf 15 or 20, that will work great, apply every 30 min.

Answer 2

Just make sure to use a good sunblock, and use it regularly. I lived in Curacao and worked at a hotel there, and I have seen the results of not using a good sunblock while sitting in the sun. trust me, the sunburns I have seen were worst that any fire related burn I have ever had.

and remember to drink plenty of water he. being in the sun for too long will dehydrate you pretty fast.

Answer 3

the sun's rays are sooo much stronger near the carribean and espicially near the water!
