Yes, you can tan at 4pm, but it's generally not recommended as the sun's rays are strongest between 10am and 4pm, increasing your risk of sunburn and skin damage. The afternoon sun after 4pm is considered a safer time to tan, as the UV rays are less intense.
For a healthy tan:
- Morning sun (before 10am): This is the safest time to tan as the UV rays are less intense.
- Afternoon sun (after 4pm): This is a good option as the sun's strength has decreased.
Remember to always protect your skin with sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit your time in the sun to prevent skin damage and cancer.
