4. Don’t Skimp on Sunscreen!

You might covet the perfect golden tan, but did you know that overexposure to the sun can actually end up damaging your skin? Vitamin D from sunlight is essential for our health, but being exposed to it for more than 10-15 minutes without the protection of sunscreen can cause more harm than good. This is especially important for those who live in high altitudes.

Another side effect of regular tanning is premature aging – and none of want that! If you have experienced some sun-related skin issues, you can counteract the effects by using an over-the-counter cream with Vitamin A. Just look for products listed with ingredients like retinyl palmitate, retinol, or tretinoin. And make sure to get the go-ahead from your doctor as well.
