For most people with pale skin, tanning comes as a savior since it gives you a bronzed look that is not just in fashion but also is in many ways healthy especially if you take the right steps to achieve that tan.
Exfoliating the skin before you lay yourself down under the sun to get than tan is a good idea since that helps clean all the dead skin from your body and make sure that you do not end up with a patchy tan because of these dead skins.
Moisturizing the skin especially the elbows, hands and the heels is important since it keeps the new skin protected when you go under the sun.
