Ko tētahi o ngā pātai e pātaihia ana e te tangata i mua i te tīmatanga o te whakatā i roto i te whare, ko te auau o te whakamahi i te moenga whakatā. He tokomaha ngā tīmatanga e whakaaro ana ka tere ake te hua o te whakatā i ia rā, engari ko te mea pono, ko ngā hua whakatā pai rawa atu ka puta mai i te whakaritenga tika, ehara i te whakaaturanga auau.
Hei mārama ki te auau o te whakahinuhinu kiri, he mea nui kia mārama ki te mahi a te tukanga whakahinuhinu kiri. Ina pāngia tō kiri e te hihi ultraviolet (UV) i roto i te moenga whakahinuhinu kiri, ka whakaoho i te hanga melanin. Ko te melanin te tae taiao e whakapouri ana i tō kiri hei tikanga tiaki i te pānga o te UV. Heoi, he roa te wā e pau ana ki tēnei tukanga. Ka haere tonu te tae o tō kiri tae noa ki te 48 hāora i muri i te wā whakahinuhinu kiri. Ko te tikanga o tēnei, ki te tere rawa te whakahinuhinu kiri, kāore e nui te wā e hoatu ai ki tō kiri kia puta te tae, ā, ka nui ake pea te mōrearea o te nui rawa o te pānga.
Mō ngā tīmatanga, ko te wātaka tanning noa he 2–3 wā ia wiki, me te iti rawa 48 hāora i waenga i ngā wā. Mā tēnei wātaka ka taea e te kiri te hanga āta i te kiri taketake me te haumaru. Ko te hanga i te kiri taketake he maha ngā wiki te roa, i runga i te momo kiri me te kaha o te moenga tanning. Kia oti i a koe te hanga i te kiri taketake, ka taea e koe te whakaiti i ō wā tanning ki te kotahi, ki te rua rānei i te wiki kia mau tonu ai tō tae.
Ka pā mai pea ētahi raruraru i te whakatā i te kiri i ngā wā maha rawa. Ko te raruraru tino tere ko te riri o te kiri, te wera rānei o te moenga whakatā, ka pā mai pea tēnei mena kāore e ranea te wā o te kiri ki te whakaora i waenga i ngā wā. I roto i te wā, ka hua ake pea i te whakatā nui rawa te tae o te kiri kāore i te ōrite, te maroke, me te tere o te memeha o tō kiri nā te kiri kiri. Koia te take e taunaki ana ngā whare whakatā ngaio i tētahi mahere whakatā hanganga kaua ki te whakatā i ia rā.
He mea nui te momo kiri hei whakatau i te auau o te whakakōwhai kiri. Ko te hunga he kiri mā (Momo Kiri I me te II) me whakaiti te auau o te whakakōwhai kiri, ā, me poto ake te wā e whakamahia ana. Ko te hunga he kiri waenga (Momo Kiri III) ka taea te whai i tētahi kaupapa whakakōwhai kiri paerewa. Ko te hunga he kiri pōuri (Momo Kiri IV me runga ake) ka iti ake te auau o te whakakōwhai kiri nā te mea ka ngāwari ake te puta o te tae, ā, ka roa ake te pupuri.
Haunga te auau o te whakatā, he mea tino nui anō hoki te whakarite me te tiaki i muri i te whakatā. I mua i te whakatā, kia tino ma tō kiri, kia kore he meikeke, he hinu kakara, he deodorant, nā te mea ka taea e ēnei te whakatā koretake. I muri i te whakatā, mā te pani i tētahi hinu whakamakuku pai ka āwhina i te pupuri i te makuku me te whakaroa i te roa o tō whakatā. He maha hoki ngā tāngata e whakamahi ana i ngā hinu whakatā o roto hei whakapai ake i ngā hua whakatā me te pupuri i te makuku o te kiri.
Ko tētahi atu tohutohu nui ko te karo i te kaukau tonu i muri i te wā whakatā kiri mēnā kāore e tika ana, nā te mea ka haere tonu ētahi tukanga whakatā kiri i muri i te pānga ki te kiri. Mā te tatari mō ētahi haora i mua i te kaukau ka āwhina i te whakapai ake i ngā hua whakatā kiri i ētahi wā.
I te nuinga o te wā, ko ngā hua pai rawa atu o te tanning ka puta mai i te auau, te tawhiti tika i waenga i ngā wā, me te tiaki pai i te kiri, ehara i te mea nā te tanning i ia rā. Mā te whai i tētahi kaupapa tanning atamai ka āwhina i a koe ki te whiwhi i tētahi tae parauri pouri ake, ōrite ake, me te whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te kino o te kiri.
