Before tanning, prepare the skin with Melanin Precursor. Apply sun protection at least 30 minutes before exposure. Choose an SPF adapted to your skin type and sun destination. Apply generously – most people use only one quarter of the amount of sun protection they need to reach full SPF cover. Reapply sunscreen protection every two hours. Creams rub off on clothes and towels, so you should always reapply generously every two or three hours after swimming - each arm alone needs an amount the size of a ten pence coin. Don’t stay exposed to the sun too long, even if you use a sunscreen protection. Stay out of the sun between 12 noon and 4pm. Seek shade or cover up with loose fitting fabrics. Take care when swimming. Water reflects up to 20% more UV rays. Keep children out of direct sunlight and apply very high SPF sunscreens. Sun over-exposure is a serious threat to your health. Your face is more exposed to sunlight than the rest of your body, so make caring for your face a top priority. Don’t forget head, neck and eyes. Wear a wide brimmed hat and good sunglasses. Repair the skin with hydrating lotions – these do not have to be “after sun” – a good body lotion is excellent. Repair the face daily with Native Collagen Gel, used as a mask.
