Can you tan before getting a tattoo? (stupid question)?
yes, you can tan before you get your tattoo. but don't go overboard, but i'm sure you knew that. also, make sure that you aren't burnt when you go in for your tattoo or else it will hurt more on your already sensitive skin. you can also tan after your tat is completely healed, as long as you put spf 45 on it. but beware it will make your tattoo fade much faster.
Does sun cream stop you getting a tan?
I wear an SPF of 15. I reapply after I take a dip in the pool. It still allows me to get a nice tan, but it protects me from burning. I put SPF 50 on my 5 year old and he still ends up with a light tan by the end of the summer. The problem is...if you don't use sunscreen and you burn (or even if you don't), your skin will pay for it later. Wrinkles, age spots and moles will appear on your skin. Burning increases your chance of getting skin cancer later in life. So, it's always best to use sunscreen, even if it's a low number like 15. Pay special attention to hot spots that burn easily....nose, shoulders, upper back and tops of the feet. Edit: I believe Aw (below me) is referring to sunblock as opposed to sunscreen. http://pediatrics.about.com/od/sunscreen...
Will I stop getting tan after a certain point?
There is a point where you won't get darker, yes. You have to increase the amount of time to get darker though. Depending on your skin type, you might be at a bigger risk of skin cancer, but skin cancer is actually NOT most common in young people. I assume you know the risks and it's your choice soo it's whatever.

How do you stop fake tan going darker on dry skin areas on your arms?
i love st moritz! i have a small patch of eczema on my inner arm and it always stick there too! it's just cos the skin's dry, as u say, so takes better. i find it helps if i exfoliate b4 hand using exfoliating gloves and a bar of soap lathered up on the glove then scrub (gently) all over. soap works better than shower gel i found. then put a thick body cream on the dry patches cos it will then concentrate the fake tan and wont make it 'take' so much to the dry areas (but will still develop). body butter is good or vaseline too
Does sunscreen prevent you from getting tanned?
It depends on which kind.Chemical sunscreens (from my experience) don't stop tanning. They have to be reapplied every couple of hours otherwise they can be worse than not applying sunscreen at all. From my understanding they absorb into the skin and convert UV rays into heat. Eventually the ingredients degrade and have to be reapplied otherwise, I believe, “mutate your DNA”. There were a few articles on that.Then there are the “mineral” aka physical sunblocks which use titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. They're thicker, can cause a white cast and sit on top of the skin. They can feel heavy but these ones actually reflect the sun's ray and I feel they actually do prevent getting a tan. Downside is, since they don't get absorbed, they can easily be rubbed off and have to be reapplied if they do
How can i stop burning and start tanning? HELP ME!!!?
Most health officials agree that tanning in any form is not good for your skin. But for those who must tan, there are a couple of options to choose from. Sunning Steps 1. Start with 10 or 15 minutes of exposure to the sun or a tanning lamp, and gradually increase the time as your body becomes more tanned. 2. Start with a sunscreen with an SPF factor of under 15, but no less than 8. 3. Keep skin moisturized with after-sun lotion - preferably with aloe - to make your tan last. Tips & Warnings * Some medications (especially acne medications) lower your resistance to sun. * If you are light-skinned, you are more prone to sunburn than people with darker complexions. * Avoid the sun during the peak hours of 10:00 to 2:00, when its rays are the most harmful. * Always protect your eyes while tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed. * Tanning booths and beds subject your body to the same general kinds of rays as the sun emits. Be aware that you can get sunburned in a tanning bed. Tanning Lotion Steps 1. Buy cream or spray-on tanning lotion. 2. Test the product on a small area of skin for adverse reactions. 3. Scrub away dead skin with a loofah pad before applying lotion. 4. Rub tanning lotion into skin thoroughly. (You may want to wear rubber gloves to do this.) Pay special attention to the backs of your knees, elbows, ankles and tan lines. 5. Wipe away excess lotion to avoid an uneven or creased tan. 6. Wash hands (or gloves) thoroughly with soap and water after applying lotion. 7. Wait 15 minutes before getting skin wet. Tips & Warnings * Start with only a light coating and then layer to obtain the color you want. * Most tanning lotions do not contain sunscreen. * You can also use tanning pills, which contain color additives. * Cheap tanning lotions will turn your skin orange. Overall Things You'll Need * Self-tanners * Bikinis * Sunscreen * Aloe Vera Gel * Loofahs * Beach Towels * Swimming Trunks
How can we prevent tanning?
Sun is our natural primary source for Vitamin D and also leaves us with dark sun tans on our skin that might turn most of us ugly. The UV rays of the Sun increase the production of Melanin on our skin, which leads to darker skin also called Sun tan.Sandalwood is the traditional substance that has been used by people from a long time for anti aging and tan removal properties. It also glows and brightens the skin. Almond is a good ingredient that helps in maintaining the skin tone and milk is the natural brightener as described above. Take 2 tablespoons of Sandalwood powder and 1 tablespoon of Almond powder and make it into a paste. Apply this paste on the sun tans and wash it away after 30-40 minutes. Repeat this twice a week for better results.For more You can visit my blog: Sun Tan removal natural remedies - Jhealthy.in
