  The first step is to find a nice sunny spot around your home or around your vacation spot. Once you find that spot you need to mentally prepare for a relaxing afternoon.

  Now we lay out our lounge chair and lay our towel out on top of the lounge chair. Now we need to lay on our back for 15 minutes and then flip over to our stomach for 15 minutes. Be sure to use your timer otherwise you could get burned.

  Now after the 30 minutes total, we need to apply the sunscreen. I recommend something around spf 20-25 range. We need to apply it to our whole body equally. Next we need to rotate our chair 180 degrees and lie down for 25 minutes on each side this time.

  Now we are done tanning for today. If you still want to be out in the sun more without burning I would apply a sunscreen that is spf 35 or above for the rest of today. Tomorrow we need to repeat this process over again. By the end of tomorrow we should have an awesome tan started and going.
