Moisturizing cream will be your most faithful ally during this process. After long hours sunbathing, your skin may have become excessively dry. Luckily, there are many specific lotions that will help you maintain the tan on your body and face. It is best that you get used to applying this type of product at a certain time of the day, for example, after showering.
Another way to preserve your tan is to replace your conventional shower gel with one in an oil format. These are non-aggressive solutions based on natural ingredients such as argan oil or aloe vera that create a soft and pleasant foam upon contact with water. Oil gels are, without a doubt, an ideal resource to keep your skin clean, fragrant and tan.
Although it may seem contradictory, exfoliating gels will enhance your tan even more. Thanks to them you will be able to eliminate dead skin and renew the most superficial layer of the skin so that your tan looks beautiful and shiny for a long time. You know, find a moment in your beauty routine to exfoliate your body and face with a solution according to your skin type.
It would be a shame if now that summer is over, to make matters worse, you started peeling your skin, right? Therein lies the importance of photoprotectors, which will continue to protect your skin against possible redness, spots and burns.
Creams, lotions, sprays... there are many self-tanning solutions. Choose the one that suits you best and apply it based on its effectiveness and the desired tone. Remember to always apply them at night, gradually and avoiding parts of the body that tend to become excessively pigmented such as knees, ankles or elbows. Respect the manufacturer's instructions when renewing its application and avoid combining them with the use of gels and creams with a high pH.
As for hygiene, showering with warm water will help hydrate the skin and help prevent the effect of beauty products from being diluted so easily. Regarding diet, eating tomatoes, carrots and other foods rich in beta-carotene will stimulate melanin so that your skin better absorbs the pigments provided by the sun.
