We often forget about precautions, and as a result, we get burns, chills, fever, as a result, flaky skin, a spoiled mood and rest. What you need to know about the sun and its effects on the skin? What are the best times to sunbathe? And most importantly, how to relax to the fullest in the sun and not get burned? Answers to these questions and tips on how to tan properly can be found in this article.

Sun rays: benefit or harm

As with any product, the main thing is not to overdo it with ultraviolet rays. In small doses, the sun is beneficial to our body, especially after a long winter. It not only improves immunity, but also speeds up metabolism, at the same time allowing the body to quickly absorb micro- and macroelements. The sun also produces endorphin - the hormone of happiness.

If you systematically exceed the prescribed time in the sun, you can cause irreparable damage to yourself: from burns and inflammation to cancer. Scientists have proven that excessive exposure to the sun during one season ages the skin by 6 months. That is why you need to sunbathe every day for a short period of time, then when you get a tan, your skin will become a pleasant shade, firm, elastic and taut.

How to prepare your body for tanning

Before the hot summer, when the sun is at its strongest, it is better if the skin is prepared in advance. To do this, you need to get yourself a mini tan at the end of spring: April, May. Naturally, it’s too early to sunbathe on the beach, but you can already expose your legs and arms while exercising. Then the body will be saturated with the energy of the sun, and the skin will be ready to sunbathe under the hot summer sun.

How and when is the best time to sunbathe?

In order for sunbathing to bring only the benefits and beauty of a tan to the body, you need to take precautions, which sometimes every woman forgets.

When is it harmful to sunbathe? Since the sun is at its most active from 12 noon to 3 pm, it is better to leave the beach at this time to avoid getting burns and overheating of the body.

If you want to soak up the direct rays of the sun, then you need to know what time is best to sunbathe. Doctors recommend sunbathing from 8 to 11 am, and after 16 pm, while you can “catch” the sun until 18:00.

The temperature for tanning in the sun should not exceed 25 degrees. At this time, it is better to hide, especially for pregnant women and small children, as you can get sunstroke and severe overheating.

What time to sunbathe at sea

The sun at sea is very treacherous. Due to the special climate, the tan “sticks” very quickly, and after a short period of time you can get severe burns, which often happens after just a couple of hours of the first day of vacation at sea.

How to make sea sunbathing safe:

1. What is the best time to sunbathe? - from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
2. At what temperature is it better to sunbathe? – for a good tan, it is enough if the air temperature does not exceed 21 degrees.
3. It's better to stay in the shade more, under an umbrella or awning.
4. Try to cover yourself with a light cape and be sure to wear a hat.
5. You should not take a cold shower after the hot sun. In this case, overheated skin may experience shock, which will negatively affect its condition. The sea temperature should not be lower than 21 degrees.
6. To prevent the body from overheating, you need to periodically swim in the sea. Afterwards you need to go into the shade, or dry your skin well, since in water you do not stop sunbathing, and after that, drops of water attract the sun to your body.

How to protect yourself

Top questions and answers that will protect you from the negative consequences of tanning:

1. How long can you sunbathe on the beach on the first day? - the first day on the beach is the most dangerous, the skin is not yet accustomed to the scorching sun, and therefore the likelihood of getting burns increases. It is recommended to take in the sun's rays for no more than 20 minutes on the first day at sea.
2. What is the best time to sunbathe? – in the morning until 11 o’clock, and in the evening after 17 o’clock in the evening.
3. Time to sunbathe, should increase gradually every day, by about half an hour.
4. What is the right time to sunbathe? – half an hour in the morning, about an hour in the evening.
5. Optimal tanning time? - sunbathing in direct sunlight should not exceed 2 hours a day.
6. Important to remember, that fair skin requires more careful care and protection from ultraviolet rays.

Safe tanning rules

The sun's rays, especially in hot countries, are not kind to the skin. For a quick and even tan, it is better to use lotions and special creams.

Their use is most effective if the skin is already lightly tanned. It is better to choose waterproof creams, so you will not need to apply cream after every bath. At the same time, the skin itself should be dry, since at sea, water on the body attracts direct sunlight. Using creams with sun protection factor will not only give your skin the perfect bronze tone, but also protect you from the sun.

It is important to know what type of skin you have and choose products that are most effective for it.

You should absolutely not fall asleep on the beach; it is important to turn over every 15-20 minutes.

When tanning, not only the skin, but also the hair requires hydration. You need to drink as much as possible, it is better if it is just water without gases.

Who shouldn't sunbathe?

Before going to the sea, you should better consult a doctor, because there are skin diseases for which sunbathing in the sun is strictly prohibited, as is a long stay on the beach. You should also avoid tanning:

1. tanning is not recommended for pregnant women;
2. It is not advisable for children under 2 years of age to sunbathe under the sun, because their skin is delicate and susceptible to external influences; time should also be limited;
3. people who have many moles and birthmarks on their bodies can sunbathe in the shade for a short period of time;
4. people with cancer;
5. some medications exclude the possibility of sunbathing;
6. people with acute chronic diseases.

The sun is vitamin D3, D6, its energy is useful for metabolism and the fight against the hormone of sadness (serotonin) for both adults and young children. Doctors recommend receiving indirect sunlight every day for a short time from the first days of life.

In order to avoid severe burns and heatstroke on the first day of rest, it is better to take into account the time allotted for safe tanning and protect not only the skin, but also the hair and eyes. If you go to the beach to sunbathe in the sun, be sure to put a hat, cape, towel, sunscreen and anti-burn product in your bag. Your compliance with precautions determines what impression you will have after relaxing on the beach.

It got a little warmer, 22-23 degrees, but I still went outside in jeans. Summer is coming and there is still no hot weather, at what temperature do you start sunbathing?

Summer is a wonderful time when we can enjoy the sun, soak up the seashore and get a tan. But it is very important to know how and at what temperature it is better to sunbathe, so as not to harm your skin and get a beautiful tan color.

When should you start tanning?

Experts, having studied the characteristics of the skin and sun exposure on it, came to the decision that it is necessary to prepare for summer in advance. Therefore, in order not to injure the skin from the scorching sun, you need to take sunbathing in the month of May, if spring is early, then in April. This preparation will allow the skin to get used to the temperature and will apply a protective layer, which can be an excellent start for further procedures in the sun.

Initially, you can start exposing your hands and face to the sun, then you can move on to a swimsuit, but remember that in the spring the earth is not yet warm enough, so sunbathe while standing. Such an easy and time-consuming procedure will protect your body from stress and allow you to be ready for the active sun.

At what temperature is it better to sunbathe?

Even the first hot ultraviolet rays can affect the skin, so it is best to sunbathe in the morning and evening. At noon, the sun is especially active, which is dangerous for your health. It is best to go to the beach or jog in the morning and not linger longer than noon, and in the evening it is better to go out after five o’clock, when the activity of ultraviolet rays has subsided.

If you answer the question “at what temperature is it better to sunbathe?”, then it is important to note that 21 degrees can be suitable for tanning, because in this process the air temperature is not as important as the effect of the sun. Remember, in order to tan beautifully and without consequences for the body and skin, you must follow the rules:

you need to carry out the procedure gradually increasing the time, do not shock the body right away, first spend 10-15 minutes in the sun, the next day increase the time by 5 minutes;
use products that protect against ultraviolet rays and radioactivity;
You can rinse in the sea after sunbathing only if its temperature is not lower than 21-23 degrees; if you want to take a shower, then not a cold one;
Wear a hat and protect yourself from overheating.

There are many nuances in the tanning process, so we recommend that before going to the sea or the start of the season, consult a dermatologist about your skin characteristics and learn more about how to behave in the sun, in water and on land.
