How do I make my skin brown?

Spend time in the sun

Sunlight is a great way to tan the skin, as it gives natural results, and is also beneficial for health, as exposure to it increases levels of vitamin D, which is necessary to fight infections, especially colds and influenza, and reduces the possibility of chronic diseases and cancers.

Sunbathing

This is lying under the sun in order to tan the skin, taking into account gradually increasing the time lying under the sun. Before starting this, you must:

• Moisturizing the skin. Moisturizing makes skin tanning last longer. It is also preferable not to shower after that for four hours. It is also recommended to drink sufficient amounts of water during the day.
• Exfoliating the skin by removing dead skin cells, i.e. removing the outer layer of the skin, thus obtaining a better tan.
• Protecting the skin from burns: Exposure to sunlight can lead to severe burns to the skin, not just tanning, and therefore you must pay attention to the period spent under the sun, and not use baby oil as a tanning cream.

Use of tanning beds

It is a method used by people who want to get dark skin quickly, and its working principle is based on artificially generating ultraviolet rays, and it is of two types:

UVA beds

UVA rays are longer than their counterparts, and therefore they are better able to penetrate the skin, which consists of five layers, meaning that they reach the lower layers, which are the spinosome layer and the basal layer. In addition, they produce melanocytes, which are the cells that produce melanin, which darkens the skin color. .

 UVB beds

This type of ultraviolet rays is known to be shorter than the first type, meaning that it penetrates fewer layers of the skin, thus affecting the outer layers of the skin. However, excessive exposure to these rays causes sunburn, and it is also the main cause of skin cancers such as squamous carcinomas.
