Tanning oils are designed to accelerate the tanning process by enhancing your skin’s natural melanin production, but they don’t provide sufficient protection from harmful UV rays. Without proper sun protection, tanning oils can actually increase your risk of sunburn. Products like Glow Tanning Oil and Beach Ultra Deep Tan Oil can help you achieve a beautiful, bronzed glow, but they should always be paired with sunscreen for safe tanning.
Why Sunscreen is Essential
- Tanning oils lack UV protection, meaning they cannot shield your skin from harmful rays.
- UV exposure can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer.
- Always apply sunscreen first to protect your skin and follow with your tanning oil.
Dermatologists recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen like SunKiss COCOLIME SPF 30 to guard against both UVA and UVB rays. Once your sunscreen has absorbed (wait about 15-20 minutes), you can then apply your tanning oil for enhanced results.
Can You Tan Without Burning?
Yes! By layering tanning oils over sunscreen, you can safely develop a tan while protecting your skin. Many tanning oils, such as those enriched with natural ingredients like coconut oil and raspberry seed oil, provide deep hydration while enhancing the tanning process. These oils nourish your skin, leaving it soft and glowing, while also supporting melanin production for a deeper tan.
- Always apply sunscreen before your tanning oil to ensure protection.
- Reapply both sunscreen and tanning oil every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
- For optimal results, use a moisturizing tanning oil like Glow Tanning Oil or Beach Ultra Deep Tan Oil regularly.
How to Tan Safely
- Start with Sunscreen: Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF before tanning.
- Apply Tanning Oil Next: Use tanning oil to enhance your glow without compromising your skin’s health.
- Reapply Regularly: To maintain protection and a healthy tan, reapply sunscreen and tanning oil every 2 hours.
By following these steps, you can achieve a radiant tan without putting your skin at risk of burning. Always protect your skin with the right products, and enjoy the sun responsibly.
