GET SOME SAFE SUN
Go for the gold, or rather, the bronze without any of those aging UVA rays. There are great ways to get a tan. First, exfoliate your skin with a moisturizing scrub. Then go for a self–tanner–the newest ones give you an incredibly natural look, nothing fake or orange about them. If you're not into anything other than a drop of color, try a gradual tan version. It's basically a moisturizer that's spiked with DHA so you end up with a subtle glow for the beach. Nivea's Sun–Kissed Firming Moisturizer is something you can use daily in place of your normal moisturizer and it will not only gives you a natural even tan, but improves your skin's firmness.

Remember: Self–tanner isn't sunscreen so be sure to protect yourself with a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. Ever dermatologist insist you get serious about coverage, but you can still find ultra sheer formulations that sink right in so you're not covering your new, healthy faux glow with pasty white sun block.
