Below I&#8217;ve compiled a list of methods to help achieve an instant tan without burning your skin or looking patchy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Method 1: Self-Tanning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-tanners are a godsend to those who want to get a natural-looking tan in minutes. They&#8217;re perfect if you don&#8217;t like to <strong>spend hours outside in the sun<\/strong>. However, you must understand how they work before buying, so make sure your research supports what kind of product will be best suited for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-tanners contain a powerful <strong>active ingredient<\/strong> called DHA, which combines with dead skin cells on the skin to generate a darker shade. Sunless tanners (self-tanners) work as an easy way to get that<strong> sun-kissed skin<\/strong> without having any fear of harming yourself with UV rays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results usually last 7-10 days, and you can get them in mousses, creams, gels, oils, lotions, towelettes, or sprays which will make application easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When applying self-tanner, use gloves to avoid your hands becoming bright orange.<\/li><li>The most difficult aspect of self-tanning at home is achieving an even distribution of the lotion on your skin. <strong>To prevent streaks<\/strong>, perform circular motions with your hands over your skin.<\/li><li>Use a moisturizing lotion on your skin every day to help keep your tan and to prevent your skin from becoming dry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/how-long-does-it-take-to-tan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4360\">How long does it take to tan?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Method 2: Sun Tanning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sun tanning <\/strong>has been around for years, but it&#8217;s also one of the most dangerous methods out there. You need to ensure that you appropriately protect your skin while still allowing sunlight in order to get perfect results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depositphotos_176909036_L-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Source: depositphotos.com\" class=\"wp-image-6569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depositphotos_176909036_L-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depositphotos_176909036_L-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depositphotos_176909036_L-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depositphotos_176909036_L-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Depositphotos_176909036_L.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Source: depositphotos.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to<strong> apply lotion or tanning oil <\/strong>with a low SPF to get a nice golden tan. This will aid speed up the process and give your skin some protection simultaneously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Choose a sunscreen lotion or oil with an SPF of 4 to 15, depending on the intensity of your base tan. If you already have a tan, you may use a lower SPF, but an SPF 15 would be ideal if you have <strong>fair skin<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Pick a spray or olive oil to achieve a more consistent tan. The product will smoothly cover your skin without leaving any patches.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Put some<strong> lip balm with SPF 15 <\/strong>on those lips. You don&#8217;t want them to be sore, chapped, and red from lack of protection.<\/li><li>Get your tan on like a pro by turning over frequently. Just turn \u00bc of the way after every 30 minutes, and you&#8217;ll have an even, beautiful tan in no time.<\/li><li><strong>To avoid tan lines<\/strong>, make sure your arms and legs get the same amount of sunshine.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s not suggested that you tan outside during the scorching hours of the day, you should take advantage of the sun while it is <strong>between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m<\/strong>. You may also focus the sun&#8217;s rays on your skin by using accessories like a reflective towel or sheet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up a<strong> reflecting towel<\/strong> or place sunscreen at waist level <strong>at 45 degrees<\/strong> to make the sunshine hit your body. After you&#8217;ve tanned, use an aloe-based moisturizer on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Method 3: Spray Tan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re gazing for an all-natural method for a darker tan, then there&#8217;s no better option than a spray tan. They work similarly to the self-tanners using <a href=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/dha-free-self-tanner\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3283\">DHA<\/a> to deliver a <strong>golden brown color.<\/strong> Unless you have the equipment at home, this job may only be done at a spray tan salon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Light-skinned individuals will require nearly one layer of spray tan to give them a lovely glow. On the other hand, <strong>darker skin<\/strong> may need more coats to acquire a glow.<\/li><li>Exfoliating your skin with an exfoliating scrub before using spray tan helps remove dead cells, making it easier to achieve an even finish when applying the product.<\/li><li>It&#8217;s always better to get a <strong>spray tan from a professional.<\/strong> They will be able to set you up in the correct shade without any imperfections or streaks. It will take a few hours for this tan to develop and must be re-applied every one to two weeks.<\/li><li>After a spray tan, <strong>keep your skin moisturized <\/strong>to help it glow and remain uniform.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Method 4: Tanning Beds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tanning beds use UV light bulbs that produce similar radiation to the sun. Additionally, they have been associated with an<strong> increased risk for skin cancer.<\/strong> Dermatologists advise against their use due to this danger, but if you need a quick and easy way of getting tanned, there is no better option than using one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When in a<strong> tanning bed,<\/strong> it&#8217;s critical to wear goggles that have been designed to safeguard your eyes from UV radiation. The ideal time for a session in the tanning bed will vary <a href=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/tanning-chart\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6457\">depending on your skin tone<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those with fair complexions, 10 minutes should be enough to achieve an attractive color, but if you have dark bases, then <strong>20-minute sessions<\/strong> may be necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a Tanning Accelerator: <\/strong>What&#8217;s better than a glowing tan? Protection against sun damage and dry skin. <a href=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/best-tan-accelerator\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4861\">Tan accelerators<\/a> help you achieve that perfect summer glow in record time; they also contain ingredients that protect your skin from <strong>dehydration and harm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should apply moisturizer daily to protect your skin from dryness.<strong> Aloe vera<\/strong>-based lotion or gel will help you <strong>keep nourished and hydrated skin,<\/strong> preventing it from cracking while giving a healthy glow so that the tan lasts longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How Does Outdoor Tanning Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sunlight both UVA and UVB rays can cause your skin to produce melanin, which gives you that beautiful dark tan. This is because the sun&#8217;s <strong>UV rays activate melanocytes<\/strong> whenever your skin is exposed to sunshine. Simply said, your skin naturally tans due to the sun&#8217;s UV rays protecting it from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stay safe from the damage that comes with too much sun exposure, it&#8217;s essential to learn how to tan safely. Tanning without wearing sunscreen can lead not only to <strong>wrinkles and sagging skin<\/strong> but also to cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So always remember: use a <strong>sun protection SPF 30<\/strong> or higher product to prevent your skin from sun exposure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun protection is important to prevent skin damage. You should apply at least 30 minutes before exposure for best results and <strong>re-apply every 1 &#8211; 2 hours<\/strong> if outdoors or engaging in activities like swimming which may cause sweating; also, wear a hat with sunglasses as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/best-outdoor-tanning-lotion\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5159\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fivestarskincare.co\/best-outdoor-tanning-lotion\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5159\">What is the best outdoor tanning lotion?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Best Products For Safe Tan and Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some of the best-recommended products on the market to help you tan safely in the sun:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. <span >No products found.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Elixir lotion helps to boost melanin production<\/li><li>It will keep the skin glowing and moisturized&nbsp;<\/li><li>Both elixir and mist can be used on the body, face, or even on the tanning bed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p >No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. <span >No products found.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Deliver gorgeous results without the use of bronzing agents<\/li><li>It increases and stimulates the melanin production&nbsp;<\/li><li>Hydrate the skin intensely and deeply<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p >No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. <span >No products found.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Instantly illuminates the skin and balances out the white cast<\/li><li>Three of the most critical ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) are included in this formula to help restore the skin&#8217;s natural barrier&nbsp;<\/li><li>It may be used alone or as a tinted primer with SPF 30&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p >No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it \u2013 everything you need to know about how to get <strong>tanning faster<\/strong>.
