I am getting a tan in my backyard everyday and I was wondering if I should just go out with nothing on my skin or should I put on some suntan lotion? Or just regular lotion?

You should NEVER be in the sun without sunscreen!!! You will get SKIN CANCER! Depending on your skin tone, you should use anywhere from SPF 15 to 45 and reapply every 2 hours, more if you are swimming. Its nice to be tan but not at the risk of cancer. Try using a self tanner or one of the tinted lotion that include a bit of self tanner. Your skin will thank you.

Since you are laying directly in the sun on purpose, you need the highest SPF sunscreen you can find. You will still tan.

Use sunscreen. You dont want to contract melanoma which is a nasty skin cancer and can be fatal.

the UV rays from the sun damage your skin cells and can cause skin cancer and other skin problems.
