Instructions

• 1

  Put your hair up. Make sure that your hair is pulled up and away from your face, neck, and ears to allow for the best coverage.

• 2

  Wear tanning goggles. Tanning goggles are simple, but very effective, devices. They protect your eyes completely from any harmful radiation emitting from the tanning bed itself. Wearing tanning goggles allows you to get a full tan, including your face.

  Sit in the sun for five minutes. Wearing the tanning goggles will leave small, untanned areas around the eyelids and the bridge of the nose. To make up for these missed areas, spend five minutes a day in the sun with your eyes closed until your face tan is complete.
