4 Steps to Maintaining Tanning

4 STEPS FOR MAINTAINING TANNING

August and summer are slowly coming to an end. We are all looking for ways to keep it as long as possible in our memory but why not in our body ……. And the easiest way to do this is to keep this wonderful golden hue on the skin that makes us look exotic and glowing for a few more weeks. We took care to do our research and gathered the best beauty tips to maintain your tan.

STEP 1: After sun care

After we have returned from the beach and take care to remove salt from our body, it is important to use a generous amount of after sun to avoid burning, because yes, sun exposure can have beneficial properties in health and in achieving the perfect However, sunburn has exactly the opposite effect, so as all experts say, we should always wear sunscreen. In addition to the pain and stinging, the burned area is prone to peeling which along with a layer of skin removes the tan so… not good at all. 

So first and foremost step after the sea we make a good application with after sun. We tried and recommend the after sun of the series Aeolis After Sun Cream with Pomegranate and Balsam (St. John's Wort)

STEP 2: Shower and treatment

It is important to take care of yourself during the wash. Frequent showers are a must on hot days and I think most people prefer to use lukewarm water which is a must to maintain a tan.

Along with the use of lukewarm water, we also advise the use of mild cleansers, shower gels or soaps, based on oils such as coconut, argan oil and ylang - ylang. We recommend it series of soaps of the Holy Monastery of the Ascension with 100% natural ingredients Theyou will definitely find one for every skin type. 

Also once or twice a week we recommend gentle exfoliation with body scrub products. Of course, most people will question this tip, since with exfoliation, many believe that they will remove the tan as well. And yet, with the removal of the dead cells, the dull skin is removed and the tan is highlighted. And do not forget that in this way we control and prevent the peeling to which the tanned skin is prone. So try it and you will not miss!

STEP 3: Hydration and nutrition

I think the most basic and expected of all the steps is the proper hydration of the skin. After each bath or shower, the use of moisturizing body cream or emulsion or body butter with a rich composition of ingredients that moisturize and soothe the skin is paramount. We will recommend it Body and hand cream with Donkey Milk content 40% of Holy Monastery of the Ascension  which with its composition with donkey milk and shea butter deeply moisturizes the skin.

also extra tip now in the summer when we are used to wearing clothes that leave our feet and other parts of the body uncovered, we can safely use body oils with or without glitter that offer extra hydration and emphasize the tanned body !! Why there is no excessive hydration in summer!

STEP 4: Summer… diet

We talked about external hydration and care now it's time to talk about internal hydration. It is a well-known saying that radiance starts inside us, so the same goes for hydration. Our favorite summer accessory should be a bottle of water. Since in order to maintain a hydrated skin it is necessary to consume at least two (2lt) liters of water daily, an amount that increases as the temperature rises.

 And do not forget the importance of a diet rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, which can be found in fruits and vegetables with bright green, orange or yellow color, and contribute to good skin and hair health. As well as foods high in tyrosine, found in foods that contain omega 3 fats and proteins such as eggs, nuts and avocados, which help build melanin and, finally, vitamin D, which has been shown to help prolong life. of tanning but also the protection of the skin from ultraviolet radiation.

I hope you found the above tips useful and that you manage to maintain your tan and your summer mood for as long as possible!
