Summer is a magical time to achieve a golden complexion, but when you return from vacation it is important to know how to keep your tan as long as possible and take care of sun-stressed skin. In this article you will discover practical tips and gentle treatments to Get a sun-kissed complexion even in autumn.
Hydration (with a simple Tip!).
After exposure to the sun, the skin tends to become dehydrated and flaky, which can accelerate the loss of a tan. It is essential to use a light but moisturizing cream, such as Essential Cream, which deeply nourishes the skin without weighing it down.
Here’s the tip for you: mix moisturizer with a face-specific self tanner to prolong that natural, golden tone even when the vacations are over.
You can find a variety of such products on the market that are really easy to use and have a very natural effect. One of my favorites is from Clarins. Just mix a couple of drops to Essential Cream in the palm of your hand and then massage it into your face as you usually do, making sure to reach up to your hairline and ears for an even complexion.
Gentle cleansing
It is essential to choose a cleanser that does not attack the skin barrier. If you have not yet tried Essential Cleanser, I recommend you do so now! It is formulated to be gentle while still respecting the skin’s natural pH. It cleanses without drying, leaving the face fresh and moisturized.
Exfoliation: an essential step
Contrary to popular belief, exfoliation does not take away a tan! Melanin, responsible for the complexion, forms in the deeper layers of the skin, and the tan lasts an average of 28 to 30 days, the time it takes the cells to regenerate. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mask at least 1 time a week to remove dead cells without affecting your tan, keeping your skin smooth and glowing.
Taking care of your skin after the vacations is essential to maintain your tan and preserve the health and radiance of your skin. With the right daily treatments you can prolong the healthy, tanned effect given by the sun and keep your skin soft and moisturized. Remember that the beauty of your skin starts with small daily attention: be consistent, and your summer glow will stay with you for a long time, even as autumn arrives.
