The golden glow that defined Baywatch in the ’90s is making a comeback—but this time, it’s all about looking bronzed while staying safe. Social media and celebrity influence have revived the sun-kissed look, yet today’s beauty lovers are more aware of the risks of UV damage and are turning to healthier alternatives.
Safer Ways to Get the Glow
-
Self-Tanners: Modern formulas provide even, natural color without the dreaded orange streaks. Many also hydrate your skin.
-
Spray Tans: Quick, professional, and flawless—perfect for events or vacations.
-
Gradual Lotions: Build a subtle tan over time and keep that glow going year-round.
Don’t Forget Sun Safety
Even if you’re soaking up real sunshine, skin protection is non-negotiable. Always use SPF 30+, avoid peak UV hours (10 a.m.–4 p.m.), and wear hats or sunglasses to protect your face and eyes.
The Takeaway
The Baywatch-inspired tan is back in style, but with a modern twist: smart, safe tanning. Whether you go for a spray, lotion, or self-tanner, you can rock that radiant, beachy glow—without the sunburn.
