tan – A Long Journey

Q: I got really tanned and want to remove it. How can I do this?

Getting “really tanned” means that your skin is actually getting damaged, so make sure you are keeping an eye on your skin. Please read one of my previous posts to learn more about tanning and how it can be harmful to your skin.

Q: Is it safe to tan if you are putting on sunscreen before?

Generally, as an esthetician, I’m against getting a tan or other tanning services (such as tanning beds) because the UVA and UVB rays from the sun are going to make hyperpigmentation and black dark spots are going to appear on the skin.
