Rotate like a rotisserie chicken every 5 minutes. Even rotation means even color. And please, don’t skip the sunscreen on your ears, eyelids, and feet—they burn first.
Hydrate before you go out. Sun tans dry skin, and dehydrated skin peels. Drink a glass of water 15 minutes before your session, then coat your body in a moisturizer with vitamin E.
Fun fact: eating watermelon or tomatoes boosts your skin’s SPF naturally by about 0.5. It’s not a replacement for sunscreen, but it’s a delicious backup plan.

The Glow-Up Timeline
Day 1: You look flushed. Don’t panic—it’s your skin’s inflammation response. By Day 2, that flush deepens into a warm glow. By Day 3, you’re officially bronze.
If you want that “vacation tan” from a UV 5 day, repeat the exposure every other day for a week. Your skin needs rest days to produce melanin without stress.
