* Modest tanning is protective, like putting sunglasses on your skin. But you must understand your own tolerance to sunlight.
Fair-skinned people and redheads may have to to begin with only five minutes of exposure to sun per day.
Darker-skinned people can begin with 10 to 15 minutes per day. Up to 30 minutes of sunshine., exposing as much of the body as possible, is a realistic goal for most people.
* Never, never burn!
* If you have an outdoor trip or vacation coming up, prepare your skin by giving it progressive exposure in the days beforehand, to to the point of pinking up.
* A few minutes of sunshine on your face and hands each day will produce all the vitamin D you need.
* Open up your house to the sunshine each morning. it will improve your health and lift your spirits.
* Just remember that artificial light is a very poor substitute for the real thing. Spend a little time each day soaking up some daylight.
