Who doesn't dream of a tanned complexion with a "return from vacation in the sun" effect all year round? Discover now 3 of our best beauty tips to get it without pain.
– Tip N ° 1: a little makeup
First technique to know – and especially the one that offers immediate results : that of makeup! The make up is indeed ideal for obtaining a nice tanned complexion with a "return from vacation in the sun" effect in just a few minutes. And for each zone, its product!
Let's start with the face. For this area, do not warm up your complexion by opting for a foundation that is too dark for your skin tone. Instead, use as a complement – and after powdering your foundation if necessary – a Bronzing powder. As its name suggests, this product will bring to the face that little "tanned" effect that we appreciate so much. Do not choose it too dark – at the risk of making a beauty faux pas that will not go unnoticed. Prefer a sunbathe only 1 or 2 shades above yours. Our favorite bronzer? The invaluable Terracotta by Guerlain, of course; and more precisely the last tan, formulated to 96% of ingredients of natural origin.
To highlight the skin of your body, there are also tanning powders. These are often very large boxes containing a tinted compact powder for use on the face and body. Recently, to highlight the skin, and in particular our arms and legs, brands have launched their "foundation" for the body. For a pretty tanned-effect complexion, we cheat very lightly by buying this body treatment a shade above our complexion. This season, for example, try the new tinted cream launched by Fenty Beauty! Having a light to medium coverage, it brings a nice tan, blurs the irregularities of the skin and leaves a perfect glow. A little extra: the Fenty Beauty "Body Sauce" foundation is resistant to humidity and is transfer-free.
– Tip N ° 2: a touch of self-tanner
You've heard it enough: UV rays from the sun are not best for the skin when used in excess. Rather than making pancakes in the sun or in a solarium and inflicting the worst consequences on your skin, why not instead turn to a spray tan ? Excellent alternative to the sun outside the summer season, we recommend two special "tanned" products (one for the face and one for the body) which will sublimate your skin in no time.
For the face, we recommend the Eclat Magic Drops imagined by Bronz'Express; a self-tanner intelligent, which mixes with all textures of our skincare routine (cream, oil, serum …) and which allows you to find a nice natural tan in just a few days.
For the body, think of the latest kit launched by St. Tropez in collaboration with Ashley Graham, his brand new and sublime muse. Comprising a self-tanning foam as well as an application glove, the principle is simple: we apply the self-tanner all over our body, we leave the product on, then when we are sufficiently tanned (1 hour = light tan / 3 hours = medium tan / all day = medium tan), we go in the shower to rinse ! For best results, consider performing a scrub beforehand.
– Tip N ° 3: some food supplements
Last beauty tip that we wanted to share with you: the food supplements.
Without sun exposure, these capsules, generally taken as a one-month treatment, promise to obtain a beautiful, naturally tanned, golden and radiant complexion for all skin types. Ideal for keeping a healthy glow all year round, effortlessly. Daily, just take 1 supplement to see your skin sublime over the days!
Be careful not to confuse self-tanning food supplements and / or tanning preparations with sun protection. These capsules do not protect against UV rays diffused by the sun. Before going out, consider applying sunscreen to your body, as well as your face.
The supplements offered by Arkopharma Laboratories contain, for example, carotenoids, vitamin E, selenium and collagen hydrolyzate.
