As good as the sun's rays feel on our bodies, it isn't healthy to soak in the rays to get a nice tan. Tanning smartly is often shrugged off by people who just want to relax with a good book on the beach for hours and hours. Getting the desired tan look can be achieved my tanning smartly and this doesn't always include sitting in the sun.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1
Buy an all natural product to tan your body
Step2
Choose a product such as a cosmetic bronzer that does not have health risks. Bronzers come in powders, lotions and creams and can create the tanned look in just moments. The best part about the bronzer tan is that it can be washed at night and reapplied when needed.
Step3
Invest in a tanning spray. To tan smart you must consider all options and tanning sprays are cost effective and safe. Many popular cosmetic lines carry tanning sprays that are free of alcohol, perfumes and other dangerous chemicals.
Step4
Put on a good amount of suntan lotion if you must lie in the sun to get a tan. Reapply the suntan lotion often if you want to tan smart. Too much exposure to the UV (Ultraviolet) rays can ultimately lead to skin cancer, severe sun burns and dry skin.
Step5
Cover your eyes and stay out of the sun during the afternoon when the sun is strongest.
Step6
Ask your doctor their input how to tan smart, especially if you are on medication. Some medications can react harmfully if your body is exposed to too much UV light.
