How can I get tan?

Answer by  drJ (841)

Tanning through UV exposure, whether from the sun or from a tanning bed, can lead to wrinkles and skin cancer. The safest way to tan is through application of creams or sprays. You can do this at home or in a salon. Make sure to exfoliate well before any product application for even color.

You can get tan by going to the beach, laying on the sand, and wearing a low-strength suntan lotion or tanning oil.

The way to get tan should be viewed as a long term project. When first starting, use a suntan lotion until you achieve the base for your tan. Then, proceed with a few hours in the sun at a time. Continue doing this untill you have achieved the level of tan you desire.

You can sit in the sun or go to a tanning booth, however, those options increase your chances for various types of skin cancer in the long run. The safest alternative is the fake sprayed-on tan.
