Not only has the coronavirus epidemic interfered with the evolution and shaping of this summer, but now even the weather is preventing us from enjoying the sunlight at least at home.
Many of us love to take advantage of natural sunlight to tan our faded, bleached skin in the winter. Sunlight also provides us with vitamin D, which we desperately need. At the moment, the weather doesn’t help us to sunbathe either, so we can also reach for artificial solutions.
In addition to the solarium, the self-tanning cream can be added to tanned skin. Before you rush to the store to buy such a product, read your instructions. You need to take a few steps to get the effect you want.
We also need to prepare ourselves for sunbathing, with the right sunscreen product, so we need to do the same with self-tanning.
Self-tanning and hair removal do not fit together. Both are big enough trauma to the skin, so if you don’t want to see the hairs on yourself, you need to time shaving, epilating, waxing days earlier to have time for the skin to recover.
It is important to get rid of dead epithelial cells anyway, but before self-tanning, it is also important to get a uniform brown skin. Exfoliation can easily remove dead epithelial cells, which is also necessary so that when we apply the tanning cream, we do not apply it to skin plates that already want to leave. This way we can get a much more lasting tan, not to mention that spots do not appear on our skin either.
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, but hydration should not be forgotten either. It is not a negligible step to achieve an even tan. It is even better and much simpler to have a tanning product that also has a moisturizing effect.
We make a big mistake when we buy a tan that is very different from our skin tone. There will be nothing natural in the result, in fact, we may be even more ashamed of ourselves than our white legs, so be sure to choose a cream that matches your original skin color. Once we have this, we massage the cream into our skin in circular motions, so we have a chance to cover all areas and avoid one area being left out, remaining white.
Take time for self-tanning. The preparation is also more time consuming, but don’t be impatient after applying the tanning cream. You have to wait for the cream to fully absorb, so don’t get dressed under any circumstances until then. This also ensures that our skin gets a uniform tone.
