What should clients be advised to wear during outdoor tanning?

Clients should be advised to wear sunscreen during outdoor tanning because it plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Sunscreen helps to reduce the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage, including premature aging and skin cancer. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate SPF is essential not only during tanning sessions but also whenever clients are exposed to sunlight.

Wearing sunscreen allows clients to enjoy the benefits of tanning while minimizing the adverse effects associated with UV exposure. It's also critical that clients reapply sunscreen regularly, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain effective protection throughout their outdoor tanning experience. This emphasis on sunscreen reflects an understanding of responsible tanning practices that promote skin health and safety.
