How to Get a Celebrity Tan

Forget wanting to be like a replica to the forever pale Nicole Kidman. Being tanned can make you look like a sun god or goddess! Tanning also gives you a good dose of much needed Vitamin D. Just avoid being burned by the sun and you will have a healthy and glowing skin that will be envied by all around you. Tanning is also a good source of relaxation. Nothing feels better than having a Piña colada on your side and soaking up the precious rays of the sun.

Disadvantages of tanning and how to counter them

• Over-tanning leads to aging and wrinkles. A good quality sunblock can effectively counter this! Make sure you purchase only the best lotions or moisturizers to invigorate your skin cells and prevent it from drying up.
• Freckles may develop. Freckles are cute! Don’t worry if you start developing a slight spattering on your face – most people do not mind them and if you’re a girl, it can somewhat make you look more adorable and noticeable.
• Skin discoloration. You can definitely counter this by not exposing the areas you don’t want tanned.

Tips for safe tanning

• Tan to relax or to look more attractive, and not due to peer pressure. Most people do not seem to know why exactly they want to achieve that tanned look, other than caving in to peer pressure itself. More often than not, they hated to be left out when friends came back from their vacations with tanned bodies and will then try their best to replicate the tanned look. You should get a tan ONLY if you want to yourself.
• Slather on suntan lotion before tanning on the beach. A good quality sunblock can really make a difference to your tan. You certainly don’t want the evil UV rays getting under your skin, do you?
• Do put on protective hats and sunblock. There are lots of attractive hats you can put on before tanning yourself. This not only protects yourself but also shows off your natural flair for fashion!
• DIY your own natural sunblock. Did you know you can DIY your own sunblock by mashing up some tomatoes and mixing them with lemon drops and sugar? Apply them liberally on your skin for maximum effect!
