A tan brings back memories of summers, times spent in the sun, and often reflects a playful, laid-back state of mind. But this tanned complexion, won at the cost of patience and time is (alas) ephemeral. At the end of the summer season, it gradually fades, as if to mark the return to everyday life.

Protecting your skin against the sun’s harmful rays with the right cream, nourishing the epidermis with moisturizing treatments, eliminating impurities with a delicate exfoliation and supporting skin health are the cornerstones of a healthy and lasting tan. Each step, each choice must be considered and adapted to your needs.

Sunscreen, the key to healthy skin
The tanning adventure begins long before you unfold your beach towel and concerns everyone. A tanned complexion is above all a protected skin and neglecting this step can have disastrous consequences, but also hinder your efforts to prolong your tan. Whether you have sensitive or dull skin, it is essential to opt for a sunscreen with an appropriate index. It not only protects against UV rays that can cause sunburn, accelerate skin aging and even lead to more serious problems like skin cancer, but it also helps preserve your tan. By preventing burns and moisturizing the epidermis, sun protection allows the skin to tan more evenly and lastingly.

Hydration, the key to tanned skin
A lasting tan is not only the result of measured sun exposure. It requires continuous attention and care, especially when it comes to skin hydration. Applying a good moisturizer is a crucial step. Hydration helps to preserve the tan by maintaining the elasticity and suppleness of the skin, thus preventing the epidermis from peeling and losing its tanned color. In addition, well hydrated skin reflects light better, which makes the tan even more luminous.
Exfoliation, the unsuspected ally of a golden complexion
Prolonging the tan is not a task that is limited to simply moisturizing and sun protection, exfoliating the skin also plays a vital role in this summer quest. Although it may seem counterintuitive, regularly exfoliating your skin is actually an essential step in maintaining a tanned complexion.
The exfoliation removes dead cells from the surface of the epidermis, thus encouraging cell regeneration and leaving room for a fresher and healthier layer of skin. This helps maintain a more even and brighter tan as deeper tanned cells are revealed. Opt for a gentle and natural exfoliant, which will not attack your skin but will leave it soft and smooth.
