Firstly, those who are tanning should have their skin exfoliated. A gentle, thorough cleansing of the skin will get rid of any dead skin that has attached to it. This will help your skin to tan much more effectively.
Secondly, you should employ sunscreen. It does sound paradoxical to employ sunscreen while attempting to get a tan. However, the sunscreen will prevent the skin from getting sunburn, and thereby increase the likelihood of a tan developing instead.
It is very important to keep your skin hydrated. The reason for this is that moist skin will tan much better than dry skin will, and the sun will cause skin to dry out. Applying moisturizer will help keep the external skin properly hydrated, while ensuring that good quantities of water are drank will keep the skin internally hydrated.
Fourth, do not mistake sunburn for the development of a good tan. This is an urban myth that many people seem to believe in, but there is no basis for it at all. Sunburn simply means that the skin has been adversely affected by the sun's ultra violet rays. It is recommended, as above, that sunscreen be used to prevent sunburn from developing.
Employing the tanning techniques described above will aid you in acquiring a decent tan. The key part to remember is that your tan will be natural, and thus much better than a tan you have had to spray on your skin. The difference between the two is as clear as night and day, even if many people will refrain from saying so.
