Following are some tips that you can use when you go suntanning that can help prevent sunburn:

* Use a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of no less than 8. Rub it thoroughly into your skin paying special attention to sensitive areas that don't normally get much sun (under your arms, the insides of your knees, and the bottoms of your feet)

* Re-apply your sunscreen every 30-45 minutes while you're skin is still acclimating to the sun. Once you're used to it you can re-apply every 2-3 hours. If you venture into the water or start sweating you should re-apply your sunscreen more often.

* Protecting your eyes is important, but sunglasses can leave some funny tan-lines.

* If you think you're in danger of burning but don't want to pack it up, move into the shade and put on some light, loose clothing. A wide-brimmed hat will protect your face and neck.

After tanning

* Use skin moisteners and after-sun lotions generously. Those containing aloe are the most popular. For an extra-soothing feel you can store the bottle in the fridge to keep it cool.

* When bathing, use a loofah or other exfoliant to remove dead and peeling skin.

* Cocoa butter applied directly is claimed to help preserve your tan while moisturizing your skin.
