Tanning in the evening - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Just a quick question regarding tanning, I work indoors & dont get off til 6ish, the summer days are fairly long right now, if I were to go tanning outside after six til the sun starts going down, will I get results? or has the sun lost most of its "tanning power" by this time of the day?

I'm sure you can still tan if it's sunny. My sister usually tans around 5 or 6pm because the sun stays out until around 8 and she's fairly tanned now.

I would think it would take longer to do that.. but sure, if the sun is out, you can still tan! I would think this would be better anyway since the sun won't be TOO strong, plus it won't be as hot out. I get headaches if I'm out in the sun for too long unless I'm swimming to cool off, so this sounds like a good idea! Probably better for your skin too.

It depends on your skin. Some people can get tanned if they do it every day. But for me, I will not get tanned unless I'm out in the mid-day sun. So hopefully you'll have better results than me!

I don't reccommend this. The sun is really bad for your skin, and you can get a tan a lot more easily with self tanners.
