Skin Care Tips For Tanners With Fair Skin
One of the best things a fair-skinned tanner can do is to quench the skin in moisturizer after tanning. This helps skin from drying out, and allows tans to appear more even. It’s also important to use the correct tanning oil before tanning. This helps prevent burns. Another idea for fair-skinned tanners is to shave legs at least 24 hours before tanning. By doing this, the skin has had time to heal from any minor irritations that could be aggravated by the ultra violet rays.
