Sunbathing is one of the ways to get tanned skin. Tanned skin has become quite a beloved approach to getting a makeover. Not surprising as this is the method that doesn’t require you to go under the knife.
While there have been other ways to get a tan, sunbathing is still the preferred method for most tanning addicts. This is due to the cost-effective and pretty straightforward approach. You don’t need anything more than sunscreen and the sun; or maybe a towel and an umbrella. Aside from that, you can sunbathe in any open area, this can be the park or even your own backyard.

There is one nasty effect that sunbathing can give and that is the itchiness. Coined as hell’s itch, this side-effect is caused by the intense onslaught of the sun on your skin. While you can pop an antihistamine to sort this out, prevention is still better than cure.
Here are some ways to circumvent the nasty itch after a bout of sunbathing:

• Try to avoid overdoing the sunbathing. You want to keep a good tan but you also don’t want to overexert your body. Try to set a specific timeframe for your sunbathing. At best, three hours can be a good duration to be under the sun. Remember, exposing yourself too much to the sun can lead to more harmful results so try to be vigilant.
• Take time out of the sun. You may want to make the most out of the sun but it’s also a good idea to take breaks. Your body will be thankful of that. Make sure to stay in the shade at least ten to fifteen minutes every hour you’re under the sun. Drink your liquids and cool off. It’s not ideal to step in an air-conditioned room as that can expedite the drying of your skin.
