how to have a perfect tan?

Your vacation is almost booked, so now is the time to take care of your tan. To preserve your youthfulness, simple precautions and gestures can help you. Explanations in 5 steps.

1. We prepare

The trick: To get a perfect tan, take a course of sun capsules before going on vacation to prepare your skin for prolonged exposure. These solar nutritional supplements guarantee an easy, more intense and lasting tan, without sunburn. But do not exempt from sun protection!

Why does it work? Most sunscreen capsules contain carotenoids, vitamin E, and selenium. Three antioxidant ingredients that fight against the proliferation of free radicals generated during sun exposure, strengthen the skin’s defenses and give it a beautiful golden color.

The action plan: Start your treatment 15 days before sun exposure to prepare your skin, then take it throughout the exposure to protect the skin and strengthen the tan, then extend at least 15 days afterwards to prolong your tan. Result: a perfect tan that lasts a long time.

2. We get a new look

The sinequanone condition for displaying a nice tan on the beach is to erase your skin well before exposing yourself.
The trick: Treat yourself to a
exfoliation to display luminous skin, smooth legs and a soft neckline, for a perfect tan. The skin will then be more receptive to care (self-tanners or sun protection).

The action plan: A scrub once or twice a week, on dry skin (for a strong action) or previously wet (for more softness). And above all, we continue all summer, even when we have started to tan!

3. We protect

The sun can be dangerous if we are not careful. Between premature aging of the skin and skin reactions, tanning requires good protection.

Our favorite : Caudalie Sun Oil SPF30 which takes care of our skin thanks to UVA and UVB protection, but not only! At the same time, this sun care respects the oceans, in particular thanks to its composition reduced in filters (Caudalie Solar Oil contains only 4 against 7 to 9 usually and keeps optimal protection). We also like it for the satin finish it leaves on our skin, as well as its moisturizing formula combining grape, sesame and sunflower oil.

The action plan: It is necessary to brush before exposure, to repeat every two hours, after each swim or when changing position. Pay particular attention to the first exposures, because this is where the skin is most fragile.

4. We maintain

Know first of all, for sun addicts, that a tan obtained gradually and under good protection will last much longer than an intensive and express tan …
The trick: After each exposure, it is important to treat your skin with nutritious creams and light and regular scrubs in order to remove the dead cells that accumulate.

5. We extend

The trick: To prolong her perfect tan, some adopt “tanned” nutrition.

The action plan: Fill up on fruits and vegetables rich in beta-carotene: those whose color is red or orange! Melons, apricots, peaches, tomatoes, carrots … Do not hesitate to abuse them. Likewise, there are many nutritional supplements that are rich in active tanning ingredients. These solutions make it possible to prolong a tan already in place and to promote the tan to come.
