Tanning is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds that causes damage to cells on your outmost layer of skin. The skin tries to prevent further injury by a pigment that gives our skin its color that results in darkening which we call a tan. This damage is cumulative, starting from the very first tan.

The most important thing is that there are a few precautions you could take before you expose yourself to the sun or the UV rays. The best way is to choose fan tans over anything as an substitute, fan tans can give you much better results. The healthier way is to “tone than tan”, this simple means to get radiant skin by doing aerobic or high-intensity exercises. Working out feels good and boosts your mood. Moreover the MOST important is to eat HEALTHY, stay hydrated and eat as much if healthy food as possible.
