what

beta carotene + slight mt2 tanning

MT2 + 5 minutes of subbed every 2 weeks
Wear SPF on your face during the sunbed (and obviously at all other times too)
Wear SPF on exposed skin if going out in the sun for long.
Use retinol at night

This will all balance out to an even tan.

I prefer sunbed to natural sun, it’s so cheap, you can micromanage the dose and you can avoid tan lines.

But your face will still be pale from the spf

sun bed is more cancerigenous and more photoaging than sun, i never understood why people use that tbh

Face gets unavoidable exposure every day and it’s also sensitive due to retinol use. From personal experience this method works.

I’d prefer body to be a little darker than face than vice versa.

You got somewhere outside that you can sunbathe naked with 360 degree exposure and got the time to do that then go ahead.

@Amnesia puts on a towel over his head when tanning, I guess this also works
But obviously apart from the time you’re tanning you should wear spf daily

Start using MT2 in a very small dose around may, then increase it throughout summer (always get sun exposure right after using it)

Carotenes like beta carotene are good all year around, it will accumulate after some time and make the skin warmer looking

As for minimizing the damage from sunrays you should always keep your skin well hydrated (dry things burn), which means drinking plenty of water and eating lots of saturated fat.

The most potent natural sunscreen is consuming big amounts of cholesterol, as it turns into vitamin D upon your skin coming in contact with sunrays, which protects the skin from sun damage

I would only bother with tanning beds in winter after a succesful loading season of MT2, as maintenance
