You really shouldn't tan at all as any sun exposure, or sun burn increases your risk of getting skin cancer when you get older. However, I know for many people this fact will not stop them from tanning so my recommendation to you is to keep your chest area moisturized so the peeling stops, and tan in spurts of a few minutes at a time outside. If you do get a sunburn keep it moisturized to prevent peeling.





If you are tanning in a tanning salon keep in mind that 20-30 minutes in a tanning bed is the equivalent of 8 full hours outside in the sun. Use a tanning lotion before tanning to help prevent burning and promote a darker, longer lasting tan. Keep any burn you notice moisturized.





There are outdoor tanning lotions available at stores. If you are going to be tanning outside it wouldn't hurt to purchase one of these to use before tanning out doors once again to prevent burning and promote a darker longer lasting tan.





Hope this helps. :-)

DON'T TAN AT ALL.





IT'S BAD FOR YOU, in case you haven't heard.





Just use self-tanners - those lotions you apply that helps you gradually build a fake tan over time.

Reply:all out , dont worry skin cancer is overrated i suggest tanning on your roof
Reply:yea ive been doing the same thing because i want a nice tan for when i go back 2 school...i tan for about an hour a day. and as for getting skin cancer, my opinion is that the people who get it are the freaks that go to tanning beds like 3 times a week, not people who only do it casually in the summer. but thats just my theory
