In summer, most women try to get an even bronze or chocolate shade of the skin. But each of the fair sex knows perfectly well that it will take a long time to go to the cherished goal, because it's safe to stay in direct sunlight only early in the morning and in the evening. In addition, some people are generally forbidden to contact with ultraviolet. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify in detail whether it is possible to tan in the shade, how to do it in order to achieve the desired color of the epidermis.
Does the skin burn in the shade?
To answer the question posed, it is necessary to understand how the tan is formed.
Acquisition of dark skin by the skin occurs under the influence of ultraviolet rays of 2 types - UVA and UVB.
The first type of radiation is characterized by the ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, because of which it loses moisture, elasticity and elasticity, undergoes photoaging processes. Thus the epidermis quickly becomes bronze or chocolate.
UVB rays provide the release of vitamin D in the body, which has a favorable effect on the state of local immunity and protective skin indices, overall well-being.
Both types of solar radiation - this is radiation that spreads and when located under direct rays, and stay in the shadow zone. In the latter case, the effect of UVA rays is reduced. In addition, the produced pigment is more resistant to flushing and lasts longer in the epidermis.
Thus, it is possible to sunbathe in the shade, and even preferably. This avoids sunburn, reduces the risk of skin cancer, exacerbation of endocrine pathologies. Tanning will be much more even and beautiful, it will last a long time.
Can I tan in the shade under the umbrella on the sea?
Being near any water bodies, especially such large ones as the ocean or the sea, the probability of quickly tanning is quite high. The fact is that the solar radiation is well reflected from the surface of the water and even from the earth, sand and pebbles.
Given the above information, confirming the distribution of ultraviolet rays, regardless of the presence of a shadow, we can conclude - it is possible not only to tan under an umbrella or awning on the beach, but also to burn. Solar radiation penetrates everywhere, especially since it is difficult to spend a whole day in the shadow zone, in any case a person several times descends into the water. Therefore, even spending all the time under the umbrella, it is necessary to use special sunscreen. At the beginning of the holiday it is recommended to select products with high SPF values, gradually reducing them as the desired skin tone is acquired.
It is not superfluous to apply moisturizing and nourishing creams, oils or lotions and after finding it on the beach to prevent a moisture deficit in the cells of the skin.

Ultraviolet radiation in excess quantity is dangerous in any place, and not only at the sea. Accordingly, sunbathing under the canopy of trees, you need to protect the skin with means with SPF.
It is worth noting that the pigment, produced when staying out of town, is much more stable than sea tanning.
