How to Prepare for Mexico 101

With the winter weather looking like it's here to stay many people will be up and going to escape to the lovely sunshine in Mexico. Before heading on this trip there are a couple things you should consider that aren't the normal travel insurance basics. This is directed mostly towards women but some men may also find these tips useful. 

First off ladies I'm not a fan of fake tanning, I find the orange glow in the middle of winter a little odd and with all the studies of long term effects to tanning it's not really worth it, BUT I've decided to make an exception. My first trip to Mexico I was stubborn and refused to fake tan so I showed up as my ghostly full blown winter self only to fry myself into a first degree burn. My skin was sore and I looked like a tomato. The best part was I burnt on the very first day so by the third day my burn started blistering and I then had water blisters on my shoulders and nose. Anyways that was pretty unpleasant for the rest of the trip. I was one of those losers wearing a T-shirt in the pool! So from now on I've decided I am pro fake tanning in preparation for a sunny vacation. Going a couple weeks before your vacation to gain a base tan will help protect your skin from a suffering a serious burn. 

Cheers to burnt faces!

Another thing you must consider in a place like Mexico especially when tanning is tan lines!!! It is never good having a really strong triangle line on your chest that sticks out of all your tops and shows just how white you naturally are. The best way to avoid this dilemma is so have a good rotation of triangle tops mixed with tube tops. This way each day you tan over the area that was covered the day previous. Making sure you can take full advantage of your golden glow wearing tube dresses and halters!
