What should be used to cover sensitive areas during a tanning session?

Using sunscreen or protective lotions to cover sensitive areas during a tanning session is essential because these products are specifically designed to shield the skin from harmful UV rays, which can lead to burns and long-term damage. Sensitive areas of the body, such as the face, neck, and décolletage, are often more susceptible to overexposure. Applying a protective lotion helps to minimize the risk of sunburn and allows for a more controlled tanning experience while still achieving a desired tan.

While clothing or thick towels can provide some protection, they may not always be effective in blocking UV rays, especially if they are thin or wet. Additionally, not using anything at all leaves sensitive areas exposed to direct sunlight, increasing the risk of damage. Moisturizers are beneficial for skin hydration but do not offer adequate protection against UV radiation. Therefore, using sunscreen or protective lotions is the most effective way to care for sensitive areas during tanning.
