how long should you layout when outdoor tanning?!
Question:
Answers:
I have been lifeguarding for the past six years so believe me when I say don't lay out! Even though I wore sunscreen and a hat, I can tell that the sun exposure is catching up to me - I am already getting some small wrinkles on my face and I am not even 25 yet. Try self tanners - the products are getting really good now. They are easy to put on and don't leave you looking a fake orange color. I love having a tan, but laying out in the sun will do more damage in the long run.

You should NEVER layout to tan. Do you want to wrinkle? Wear sunblock with a moisturizer (or vice verse) and do your normal outdoors activities. You will tan quickly enough.
It all depends on your skin type. I am mixed with African American Skin so, I can get a tan within 15 minutes. If I stay out in the sun any longer, I actually will get sun burned. So, just layout for about 15 minutes about 3 days in a row. And,you should have a Nice natural tan. Don't over do it and Don't forget the sunscreen.
I usually tan outside anywhere from 15-30 minute increments. I usually lay on one side for 15 min (set a timer) and flip to the other side and do that for about 15 min more. The darker I get the longer I lay on each side. If you want you can go inside and take a shower and then about 1 hour later go back out and repeat. Make sure you take a radio with you and a bottle of cold water :)
5-10 minutes at different intervals(hours in between).
8 min. a day for a couple of weeks gives great results.
after several/week or so you may increase time a few min. every other day.Give your skin a chance to adapt(don't rush)
Don't over do it.even when you're able to withstand the longer periods.not good.
Try to find something organic/natural to use as tanning lotion.all the other stuff has way too many man made chemicals that will get into your system(people wonder why they get skin cancer-you don't see many people from Africa/polynesians & what not complaining.they don't apply garbage on their skin).
don't rush it.not good.
