After investing in hours in the sun during your vacation, nothing disappoints more than coming home and seeing your tan disappear in no time. But, if in addition to investing in sunbathing, you invest in some skin care, we promise that you will be able to prolong your tan beyond your vacation.
Hydrate more than ever! As the sun dries the skin, it is super important to keep it well hydrated before, during and after sun exposure . Invest in a body butter , a more concentrated type of moisturizer that will really boost your skin's hydration levels. Another tip is to apply Puro Sol balm after applying sunscreen. It is absorbed quickly, creating a protective barrier and allowing hydration retention. Furthermore, it contains plant extracts that naturally protect the skin from the sun, such as carrots and turmeric, and prolong the tan.
Use high sun protection . No shortcuts! If you use lower sun protection than you need, it may even appear that you tan more quickly, but then your skin will chafe and, in addition to this being highly damaging, as it is an attack on the skin, it will make your tan disappear. .
Avoid hot baths to prevent skin dehydration. If you can't take a shower in cold water, try keeping it lukewarm. And, if you can, use a shower gel with hydrating botanical active ingredients.
Exfoliate weekly to remove dead cells and make your tan stand out. At this time of year, we really like Estimula , with matcha and citrus fruits. Full of antioxidants and botanical active ingredients that protect and recover the skin after sun exposure , it is perfect for keeping the skin uniform and luminous , taking care of blemishes and other marks.
Try a natural body highlighter . If you feel like you need a little extra shine, choose to do it safely, without artificial dyes. Our body highlighters work because they contain mica, a mineral that makes the skin brighter, and oils that leave a more golden tone. They give the skin a tanned touch and also keep it hydrated. It's not the same thing as having tanned skin, but fake it till you make it!
Drink lots of water! A piece of advice that is useful for a lot of things, but... the truth is that it works, by prolonging cell life, including those that make up our tan, and preventing you from having dry, flaking skin. The stronger your skin is, the better it will be able to retain your tan.
Eat the color of the sun! Orange and red foods contain beta-carotene, and have been proven to help maintain a healthy, beautiful tan from the inside out. Carrots, peppers, apricots, peaches, tomatoes, melons, sweet potatoes… remember to include them in your snacks and meals this summer!
