Suntan in Destin Florida

Greetings ! Your on vacation. And you want everyone to see your great tan when you get home ... right ? Here are some tips to tan and not burn.

First, actually get a little sun before you come to Florida. The beaches in our area are so white it will reflect the sun's rays to burn you quickly. So get a little sun first back home

Second: You really don't have to stay out all day to get a great tan. It's a myth that you need to stay out on the beach 8 hours a day. You'll just likely end up in the emergency room for sun poisoning. And yes that does and can happen.

Third: Spend a couple hours in the morning say... 9am to 11am take a break (go shopping =) and then around 3pm to 6pm enjoy the beach again. The sunset time in June and July is between 7:30 and 7:45pm.

Fourth: This is important. Don't lay and bake. You'll get a better overall tan if you take a walk and enjoy beach activities.

Be sure to wear sunscreen on the tops of your feet, your ears, between your nose and lips, and guys your around the hairline.

Have a safe and happy vacation
