What is the best way for a nice tan ? right protection + vitamin d ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No tan is best tan: The fact remains tanning is a bad practice and really not only to keep your skin healthy and vibrant as well to prevent the risk of future skin cancers sun exposure should be kept to a minimum. Most sunscreen is ineffective at factors below 50 so start there. Wear protective clothing where needed. In warmer climates despite these measures you should get enough exposure for adequate vit d.
