4.Use gloves - Nobody looks good with orange palms, so when you spray tanner on your hands in order to tan your face, don a pair of latex gloves to prevent stains.

5.If you are going to a tanning salon, follow instructions! Self-tanning booths typically have a handout, so read up, and make sure you know what to do!

6.BLOT - After applying your spray tan, you will need to blot your skin with a towel to catch any drips.

7.Stand still - Standing still for about 30 seconds after a self-tanning booth application will ensure that your tan dries evenly. While it may take a lot longer to dry completely, first minute or more is when you run a real risk of rubbing off self-tanner before it has a chance to work.

8.Protect your feet - Because they typically get less sun than rest of you, your feet are paler and may get dark faster. If you are spraying yourself, go lightly on feet. If you are using a booth, use paper booties (usually offered by staff) to protect your feet and apply a self-tanner later on to ensure you get right shade.

Teens can be especially sensitive to their appearance and to opinions of other teens. They can also be more apt to take risks because of these concerns. A young diabetic or epileptic may be willing to compromise their safety by avoiding use of identification, even in form of attractive jewelry, if they feel it makes them look “un-cool.” There are some jewelry pieces however that can gain proper attention, if necessary, without appearing “dorky.”

Delicate ankle bracelets with a dangling charm or a small engraved plate are very acceptable jewelry accessories for teen girls. Lovely beaded bracelets are also fun, decorative and fashionable and will complement any style rather than compete. Boys can also accessorize discretely with a sports wristband band or handsome watchband. These pieces can be as simple or elegant as wearer wants and many manufacturers produce medical jewelry with a keen eye on fashion and style trends.

No one should be embarrassed or ashamed because they have a particular condition. That doesn’t mean that they should be forced to broadcast that condition to world by wearing identification that is unattractive and obvious. Medical personnel are trained to look for medical I.D. and jewelry, no matter how discreet, and these pieces will be one of first places they will look for medical info. Anyone with medical issues has a responsibility to themselves and to their family to provide information that will protect them if they are unable to properly communicate. But they can still look sharp at same time!
