]]> 42449 2 38 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/38.jpg Exfoliate and shave Take a shower, and use a loofah or another mild abrasive to gently exfoliate your skin. Shave as usual.

]]> 42450 3 46 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/46.jpg Use sunscreen Apply a sunscreen that’s at least SPF 15. If you choose a lotion that also contains a bronzer, pick one that’s based on DHA, a natural sugar that stains the skin. The color takes just a few hours to appear, lasts for days, and gives you a little extra color boost while you build your base.

]]> 42451 4 64 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/64.jpg Go low and slow Small, regular doses of UV rays are the best way to get your glow. Spend about an hour in the sun every other day, and try to stay in the shade from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you’re using a tanning bed, start with regular visits and limit your exposure to several minutes at a time.

]]> 42452 5 81 Tip If you use a tanning salon, ask your technician about protective goggles and reflectors, and sunscreens that won’t damage UV beds and equipment.

]]> 42453 6 90 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/90.jpg Don't burn Don’t burn. A sunburn causes damage to the skin’s cells that not only hinders your ability to tan, but will significantly increase your skin cancer risk.

]]> 42454 7 99 Tip Avoid tanning oil, which can intensify the sun’s rays and cause you to burn quickly.

]]> 42455 8 104 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/104.jpg Moisturize Hydrated skin tends to tan better than skin that’s dry or damaged. Drink lots of water, and use a lotion that contains sodium PCA, a naturally occurring substance that attracts and binds moisture to your skin.

]]> 42456 9 118 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/118.jpg Keep up your vitamins Use supplements or lotions to get the recommended doses of Vitamin C and E. These nutrients are powerful antioxidants, and can help decrease inflammation and skin cell damage from UV rays.

]]> 42457 10 130 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/21817/130.jpg Get an all-over tan You’ll look pretty silly if you’re only tan on one side. Make sure you give your whole body—including sides and underarms—even exposure. And if problem areas like your legs and face don’t tan as quickly, regular moisturizing should help.

]]> 42458 11 145 Fact In 1978, German scientist Friedrich Wolff brought the first indoor tanning bed to the United States.
