Usage Note

Bronceado functions as both a noun (a bronceado = a tan) and an adjective (piel bronceada = tanned skin), as it is the past participle of broncear (to tan/bronze). The phrase tomar el sol para broncearse is the standard way to say 'to sunbathe for a tan.' Bronceador (masc.) is the word for suntan lotion.
