While many people are taken with the notion of sporting the perfect tan, few believe it can be done naturally. Actually, a decent natural tan is something just about anybody can have. The methods to be used for natural tanning are as follows.

Firstly, those who are tanning should have their skin exfoliated. A gentle, thorough cleansing of the skin will get rid of any dead skin that has attached to it. This will help your skin to tan much more effectively.

Next, be sure to apply sunscreen. This may seem counter-productive to apply sunscreen in attempting to get a suntan. Notwithstanding that, the sunscreen will prevent you from getting sunburn, and thus aid you in getting a suntan.

Third, keep yourself hydrated. Heat from the sun can dry out the skin, which makes for a less effective tan. Moisturizing your skin prior to tanning will help you keep your skin hydrated externally. To keep it hydrated internally, make sure to drink plenty of water. Moist skin tans more effectively than dry skin does, so it is important to keep this tip in mind.

Fourth, do not mistake sunburn for the development of a good tan. This is an urban myth that many people seem to believe in, but there is no basis for it at all. Sunburn simply means that the skin has been adversely affected by the sun's ultra violet rays. It is recommended, as above, that sunscreen be used to prevent sunburn from developing.

Employing the tanning techniques described above will aid you in acquiring a decent tan. The key part to remember is that your tan will be natural, and thus much better than a tan you have had to spray on your skin. The difference between the two is as clear as night and day, even if many people will refrain from saying so.
