How can I use tanning aloe vera to improve my sunbathing experience and skin health? - #22094
I am struggling with getting an even tan and honestly, like, I'm not sure about the safest way to do it without damaging my skin. So, I heard about tanning aloe vera, and I got really curious. A few weeks ago, I was at the beach for a long day and I just used regular sunscreen and coconut oil, nothing special. I ended up with some uneven patches which made me wonder if tanning aloe vera could help with that. I read somewhere that it can boost your tan while keeping your skin hydrated, but I’m not really sure how to use it effectively. Should I apply it before I go out in the sun or after?! It's all so confusing. Plus, I’m worried about how it might react with my sensitive skin. I’ve heard good things about aloe vera generally, but is using it for tanning actually a good idea? I mean, do you need to use it consistently or just on specific days? Maybe like mixed with some other oils? I don’t want to end up with dark spots or burnt areas again. Any tips on how to incorporate tanning aloe vera into my routine would be sooo appreciated. And ya know, is there a difference between the kinds you buy in stores versus the natural ones you can grow at home? I'm just trying to get a glow without damaging my skin, and I feel like I’m getting more and more lost with it all!! Help would be super helpful! Thanks!
