Holidays are ahead of you and you want to have a beautiful tan, but instead of warm brown your skin is the color of cancer? It is enough to follow a few simple tips so that you can delight with a beautiful tan after the holidays.
Regularly
Go out into the sun for a short time, but regularly. Do not lie “pie” in the sun for half a day, because then our skin will resemble a brick. Our tanning sessions should be short but frequent.
Creams with a filter
Don’t forget about sunscreen. It is best to choose the one with a factor of 10-15. No cream does not mean you tan faster. However, its lack can lead to sunburn, which is very annoying and painful. Therefore, you should properly protect yourself by lubricating the whole body filter balm, preferably one that has extra in its composition aloe. Then the balm, in addition to protection, will also moisturize our skin and it will not flake when dried by the sun.
Sunbathing area
It is very important to choose a place that should be well insolated. The first exposure to the sun should not be longer than 15-20 minutes. If we have chosen a place to sunbathe by the water, this time should be shortened, because the water attracts the sun’s rays.
Tan color preparation
In the drugstore, it is worth asking about a preparation that will emphasize the color of our tan. The choice of shades is rich, so we can easily choose the most suitable one for our complexion. Emulsions of this type often have an additional protective filter, thanks to which they additionally protect the skin. When choosing a product, remember that the shade you buy may be darker than ours by up to three tones. During sunbathing, our skin will have a deeper shade, so it’s worth buying a spare shade.
Before sunbathing – solarium
After winter, our skin is pale and unprepared for the sun. It is worth stimulating the pigment by going to the solarium. If this is your first visit, 5 minutes is enough. You can repeat them 2-3 times later. A 10-minute session is for people who have already been to the solarium and their skin will not react with burns.
Tan tablets
Tablets are available in pharmacies that “from the inside” improve the color of our tan. It is worth asking for advice from a pharmacist or reading online forums. These types of preparations bronze the tan.
Moisturizing after sunbathing
When we are done sunbathing, remember to lubricate our body and moisturize it. Our sunbathing the skin dries outso it needs frequent regeneration and support from us. You can reach for spray oils, preferably based on nut extract or with caramel.
Carrot
We can eat carrots in winter. The carotene contained in carrots makes the skin tone warmer and it is easier to tan. However, do not overdo it with this vegetable, as it can turn orange.
Baby oil
It’s best to forget about her. It does not contain any protective filters. It causes quick tanning, but it also causes burns, so we advise against using it.
