Secrets of the right tan in the sun

1. Tanning time

Sunbathe in the hours when the sun is least active - the right decision. And this does not mean that you will get a less beautiful tan, on the contrary, it will be smooth and beautiful. Take for a rule to take sun baths in the morning, until the sun has not entered the zenith, about 10-11 hours, and after 16. And, even if you are under the sun at the specified time, lie on the sea or a river beach for a total of more than two hours Per day is harmful to the body. And sunbathing with 12 to 15 in general is contraindicated in connection with a sharp increase in harmful radiation, after which there may be complications on the skin.

Suntan cream.

Proper sunburn in the sun requires mandatory use of cream with protection from ultraviolet radiation. For dark skin, you can take a cream with a level of 20-30, for light it needs more, 40. The levels of protection are indicated by the SPF and PPD. However, SPF protects only from ultraviolet (from burns). To everyone who wants to properly sunbathe in the sun, arabio.ru recommends finding a cream with the abbreviation PPD - they prevent aging of the skin and reduce the risk of developing cancer. Unfortunately, in most shops only SPF creams are offered, so do not be lazy to go around a few outlets or order online with PPD, reducing all the risks of communicating with the scorching sun to a minimum.

Choosing the right place

• The question of the right tan in the sun in hot countries is especially important. Hiding under a straw umbrella, people think that they protected themselves from the sun. I assure you, this is not so - I personally sunbathing successfully in Thailand, lying on a deckchair in general under the roof, without direct sun exposure. Therefore, on the first or second day of arrival, if you want to sunbathe in the sun correctly, try not to sunbathe in the direct open sun at all, and spend the sun in the hotel room or lobby.

• Do not forget that you need to protect your hair from the sun - a hat, a panama, a scarf or a cap made of cotton loose fabric - an excellent choice. Eyes hide behind the glasses of sunglasses, even just going for a walk without the intention of lying on the beach.

• The important thing - you want to sunbathe properly in the sun, the beach, the sea, give up books and magazines - reading them, we get carried away and often miss the moment when it's time to stop taking tan. Especially do not sleep. Do not go to the beach immediately after eating - it will thaw out. Do not drink cold drinks, give them a little heat. Alcohol and sunburn are also incompatible, since alcohol blocks the sensitivity of the skin.

BONUS inside about how to heal your Solar Plexus Chakra

• Healing the solar plexus chakra is a simple process, but it may take some practice. Most people have built up a blockage over many years, so chakra balancing will take time. There are some solar plexus chakra healing exercises that are easy to practice every day.

• The chakra color associated with Manipura is yellow, which means that bananas, sunflower seeds, yellow peppers and cheeses are good solar plexus chakra healing food. Spices for the solar plexus chakra are ginger, chamomile, mint, and cumin.
  Meditation can help with opening Manipura. A simple exercise is to simply envision a brilliant yellow sunflower over your solar plexus chakra. This can be even more effective with the use of chakra stones. Solar plexus chakra healing stones include yellow stones like citrine, amber, yellow tourmaline and tiger’s eye.

• Aromatherapy can also be helpful for Manipura chakra healing. It can be used while meditating or doing yoga, or by itself at any time. Citrusy essential oils like orange and grapefruit are good for healing the solar plexus chakra, as are chamomile, mint and ginger.

• Regular yoga practice is ideal for chakra balancing. Asanas that focus on core strength are perfect for Manipura healing. Warrior Pose is the easiest yoga asana for opening Manipura. Holding it for a few minutes every morning will begin to open your solar plexus. Other helpful asanas are Boat Pose (Navasana), which strengthens the core, and Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar). Engaging in structured risk-taking during your yoga practice, like doing a challenging pose or gently pushing yourself a bit more, can also help balance Manipura.

• Finally, since the solar plexus chakra is associated with the sun and fire, simply getting outside can help. Meditating or doing yoga outdoors on sunny days will maximize your healing practice, but simply going outside for a walk or doing a little sunbathing will help open your solar plexus chakra.
