Summarize this article in one sentence.
Hop in the shower after you spend time in the sun to remove excess sunscreen, sweat, or sand and dirt. Keep drinking plenty of water and apply lotion topically to fully hydrate your skin for the best tan. Use aloe vera gel for a good way to soothe the skin. Continue to apply lotion regularly, both right after sun exposure and before bed. Spend just an hour or two in the sun per day, but do this every day. Build up your tan more gradually for a safer, longer-lasting, and more consistent dark tan.
Shower off. Hydrate the skin. Continue your sun exposure.
