There is little to rival summer, yet even the sunniest season comes to an end. Reluctant to lose your summer tan within a matter of days? Naturally, we have the advice to help you hold on to your bronzed complexion, and that lovely holiday feeling, for as long as possible.
Exfoliate the skin
A lasting tan begins with a good base. When the skin is clean, smooth and soft after exfoliating, it receives more oxygen, which helps a tan hold better. So exfoliate your body and face once or twice a week, then apply a sunscreen. The St. Barts Scalp and Body Scrub by Ouai is a sugar scrub that works on both your body and your scalp, and takes you straight back to the tropics.
Activate your melanin
A sun activator helps reduce the risk of burning in the sun. Its tyrosine stimulates the production of melanin, so the skin is protected naturally and develops an even tan. The pro-melanin complex in the C+C Vitamin Summer Lotion by Natura Bissé activates and prolongs your colour, and works on both face and body.
Hydrate
Once you have a healthy bronze, keep the skin well hydrated. The sun draws moisture from the skin, which leaves it feeling dry and tight. An aftersun does more than soothe: it also contains hydrating ingredients that help protect your colour for several days. After Sun by Darling is suitable for face and body, and the added vitamin E also helps to revitalise the skin. The scent of monoï oil will most likely bring that wonderful holiday back to mind.
A tan all year round
With the C+C Vitamin Self-Tan Drops Oil Free by Natura Bissé, your face keeps such a healthy complexion all year round. Apply five to six vegan self-tan drops to your face, neck and décolletage with gentle, massaging movements, and let the colour build gradually. The drops suit all skin tones and look especially lovely over already-tanned summer skin, as they deepen the colour.
