What should clients with fair skin avoid to reduce tan risk?

Clients with fair skin are particularly susceptible to sunburn and skin damage due to their lower levels of melanin, which provides some natural protection against UV rays. To reduce the risk of tanning or burning, it’s crucial for them to avoid prolonged exposure to UV light, whether from the sun or tanning beds. Long tanning sessions can significantly increase the amount of UV radiation they are exposed to, raising the risk of adverse effects like burns and increasing the long-term risk of skin cancer.

Minimizing the duration of tanning sessions helps protect their skin and allows it to gradually acclimatize to UV exposure, should they choose to tan. Other options presented may not have the same direct impact on reducing the tanning risk for fair-skinned individuals; in fact, using tanning products could be a strategy to achieve a desired look without harmful UV exposure, while staying hydrated is generally beneficial for overall skin health. Wearing sunglasses indoors typically has no relevance to tanning risk.
