its summer…im getting married, and need to be running around outside for shopping etc in the sun…
i dont wanna get dark!! i know you apply sunscreen but what spf is better? any other tips how to not get dark from the sun?
Re: How to NOT get dark this summer?!!
sunscreen is the best thing. I know people think that higher sunscreen is better but SPF 30 should be fine....reapply it every 1 -2 hrs. Wear a hat and sunglasses...avoid going out in the peak times, if possible. My favorite sunscreen is Jane Iredale Powder me SPF 30, you can reapply it without messing up your makeup through out the day, doesn't break out my sensitive skin, and no white cast or that heavy feeling. If you want to go up a step, You could use a mask at night every night, like one of those masks that help remove tan.

sunblockkk.
trader joe's sunscreen. spf 45. or 55. pick one
Re: How to NOT get dark this summer?!!
if you are desi, most likely you don't need anything more than an SPF15. its going to be a lot less annoying to apply.
but check with your husband first. maybe he subscribes to the "darker the berry, tastier the juice" school of thought.
happy creepy monday.

Re: How to NOT get dark this summer?!!
drank more water and eat fruits its good for you skin
Agreed to Amna Najam
yea just apply sunscreen every couple of hours and if you do get a tan one thing that works is tomatoes just cut up a tomato and rub it on your face for about 5 min about 3 times a day i know it sounds weird but it works really well for getting rid of tan although it only works on your face so just wear long sleeves to avoid a tan on your arms
Re: How to NOT get dark this summer?!!
Wear your sunscreen religiously of course...
Long sleeves
Hats
Make sure you go out after peak hours so you dont have too much exposure
Oh and make sure you keep an eye on your feet and hands too...those always pick up a tan quicker because they're constantly exposed
As others have said, apply sunscreen liberally and re-apply every 2 hours. SPF 30 is the best. However, applying sunscreen will not guarantee that you won't tan. Avoiding the sun is a MUST. If you have to go outside carry an umbrella. That's pretty much becoming the norm where I live because a lot of women/girls don't want their skin to be exposed to the sun because of other things such as wrinkles and premature ageing. I avoid the sun like crazy and MA everyone always comments on the appearance of my skin. Also drink AT LEAST 1 litre of water a day in order to keep your skin glowing and healthy.
When we went to an amusement park last summer, we put on our sunblock only once 30 mins before we reached … we were there all day and we didn’t tan at all That sunblock is awesome… its Huggies Little swimmers SPF 50… totally waterproof ( no no amount of sweat or washing your face to cool down will remove it)
Re: How to NOT get dark this summer?!!

They probably don’t go out in the sun too much or maybe they use Fair and Lovely
