While many believe tanning in the evening does not reap the same results, others prefer it. But is it really possible to tan in the evening? If you want a short answer, then yes, it is completely possible to get a beautiful tan even if you spend time in the sun after 5 PM.

On Earth, we are protected by our atmosphere from most UV radiation coming from the Sun. The ozone layer absorbs much of the UV portion of the spectrum (UVB and UVC). Some still gets through (UVA and a bit of UVB). We can protect ourselves completely by covering ourselves with clothing and using sunblock.

Sun safety for the entire family But unprotected exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause damage to the skin, eyes, and immune system. It can also cause cancer. There are other contributing factors such as heredity and environment. But sunburn and excessive UV light exposure do damage the skin.

Fortunately, the Earth’s atmosphere protects us from most UV radiation. While we need some exposure to sunlight to help our bodies make vitamin D, too much UV is dangerous. Broad-spectrum sunscreen provides protection from the sun’s Ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

You can reduce your risk of sun damage and skin cancer by staying in the shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter. Your best bet to protect your skin is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you’re outside—even when you’re in the shade.

The best time to tan outside is believed to be between 10-4 pm. Since the rays during this time are less intense, sensitive skin may not get irritated from tanning after 4 pm. During this period, the rays are not as direct as before 4 pm. Excess exposure even after 4 pm can, however, expose your skin to sunburns.

When you are sunning outside, the American Cancer Society suggests that you tan either in the morning or during the late afternoon hours. Specifically, you should avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Also, wear sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30.

The best time of day to tan is in the morning, and the best hours to tan are from 8am to about 11am. The sun is at its most powerful between 12pm and 3pm, when its rays are strongest. But for many people, the sun during this time is too strong, and sensitive skin will burn and get immediately damaged.

Alternative Choices. For moisturizing, apply a rich vitamin E lotion or vitamin E oil directly after tanning. Using lotion during the tanning process is purely optional, but whether you use lotion while you tan or not, you still need to moisturize or your skin will dry out and begin to tan unevenly.

The best substitutes for tanning oil are natural oils such as coconut, avocado, olive, Argan, hazelnut, sunflower, wheat-germ, and sesame oils or aloe vera. These oils help accelerate the tanning process while still giving your skin much-needed nutrients and hydration.

Coconut oil triggers the production of melanin even without you having to stay in the sun for a long time. This means you can get a tan faster and with less time under the sun.
