After spending hours in the sun during your vacation, nothing is more disappointing than returning home to find your tan fading in an instant. But if, in addition to sunbathing, you also invest in some skincare, we promise you'll be able to prolong your tan beyond your vacation.
Hydrate more than ever! Since the sun dries out the skin, it's 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's absorbed quickly, creating a protective barrier and allowing for moisture retention. In addition, it contains plant extracts that naturally protect the skin from the sun, such as carrot and turmeric, and prolong your tan.

Use high SPF sunscreen . No shortcuts! If you use a lower SPF than you need, it may seem like you're tanning faster, but your skin will peel, and besides being highly damaging because it's an aggression to the skin, it will make your tan disappear.

Avoid hot showers to prevent skin dehydration. If you can't shower with cold water, try lukewarm water. And, if possible, use a shower gel with moisturizing botanical ingredients.

Exfoliate weekly to remove dead skin cells and enhance your tan. At this time of year, we really like Estimula , with matcha and citrus fruits. Full of antioxidants and botanical actives that protect and restore skin after sun exposure , it's perfect for maintaining even and luminous skin , taking care of blemishes and other marks.
🏽 
Try a natural body highlighter . If you feel you need an extra glow, opt for a safe, dye-free option. Our body highlighters work by containing mica, a mineral that makes the skin brighter, and oils that leave a golden tone. They give the skin a bronzed touch while keeping it hydrated. It's not the same as having a tan, but fake it till you make it!

Drink plenty of water! This advice is useful for so many things, but… the truth is, it works by prolonging cell life, including the cells that make up our tan, and preventing dry, peeling skin. The stronger your skin, the better your tan will be able to hold onto.

Eat the color of the sun! Orange and red foods contain beta-carotene, and they've been shown to help maintain a healthy, beautiful tan from the inside out. Carrots, bell peppers, apricots, peaches, tomatoes, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes… remember to include them in your snacks and meals this summer!
