How to tan safely?

[Anonymous]

I'm mixed. If I want my skin to look somewhat even I need to either cover my entire body the whole summer or tan completely or else I get ridiculously bluny tan lines around my neck and arms. I have started tanning hard at these areas already just doing my day to day activities, how can I tan my whole body to make it look even safely? I don't know anything about tanning as I used to try hard to stay pale.

In all honesty, to a dermatologist, there is no safe way to tan. I understand what you are saying but what you do to your skin now affects what happens when you are older. My FIL who is 78, worked as a surveyor and was always outside. Now he is having lot of issues with skin cancers popping up from nowhere.

Don't lay out in the sun for more than a couple of hours a day.
