A beautiful tan is sometimes obtained with many sacrifices. Not everyone loves sunbathing, but everyone would like to have beautifully tanned skin. Unfortunately, the tan usually “goes off” very quickly, also depending on the condition and type of our skin. However, there are simple ways to prolong the tan, including the one not obtained in a natural way, and the spray tan and tanning from the solarium.
How to prolong your tan? 7 proven tips!
- A proper diet rich in beta-carotene: it allows you to keep your tan for longer. In addition, it protects against sunlight and harmful radiation. Beta-carotene affects the condition of our skin, thanks to which it maintains a tan even for a few weeks longer. We find it in fresh tomatoes, carrots, pumpkins, peppers and in fruits such as peaches and apricots.
- Skin peels: yes or no? In the case of a natural tan, peeling is recommended as a way to strengthen the tan. Removal of dead epidermis will improve the visibility and condition of the dermis, making the tan more visible and stronger. However, if you have a spray tan, peeling is strongly inadvisable, because it can have the opposite effect: wipe off the tanned skin.
- Skin hydration: Sunbathing and the sun’s rays significantly dry the skin, making it gray and dull, and at the same time it peels off easily. Appropriate, daily moisturizing of the skin will allow you to keep the tan for longer, because by properly nourishing and hydrating the epidermis, we will help it function longer.
- Bronzing lotion: Slightly bronzing balms also work great on tanned skin, which will help to maintain a natural tan for much longer, and will strengthen the effect obtained in the sun. They can too even out the skin tone of unevenly tanned skin.
- After sun cosmetics: it is very important to use creams with a UV filter while sunbathing. However, it is also important to use after-sun preparations after sunbathing. They help in nourishing the skin and taking care of tanned skin. They are designed specifically for the care of tanned skin, prevent flaking and eliminate any sunburn. At the same time, they also regenerate and soften the epidermis.
- Avocado oil: improves the natural skin tone. It can be found in many skin care products.
- grape seeds: have the same effect as the oil mentioned above. They are a natural way to improve and preserve skin tone.
