A beautiful tan is not obtained without good preparation upstream.
A few months before, one takes care of one's skin with simple gestures and habits, which will make it possible to concoct a beautiful tan as soon as the first rays of sun appear.
- erase
One month before the first exhibitions, one thinks of exfoliating one's face and one's body . Once a week, it eliminates dead skin and lets the skin breathe.
We take advantage of the daily shower and use a natural sponge exfoliating glove or scrubs based on stones, salt or sugar.
For the face, we choose suitable products, and we exfoliate our skin out of the shower, without forgetting to clean it beforehand. Finally, we think to well hydrate all areas after each scrub. A gentle and regular exfoliation will be all the more effective in preparing the skin for tanning.
The right thing to do : make circular movements after letting lukewarm water run all over the body.
- hydrate
A milk, a cream, a lotion or a balm, each with its favorite moisturizing product.
It is chosen according to its texture and skin type and is applied morning and evening to nourish the skin continuously.
Associated with this daily care, one drinks a liter and a half of water a day to hydrate of the interior . To vary the pleasures, alternate between mineral water , in which you can add a slice of lemon or mint leaves, tea, herbal teas or red tea rooibois type.
- Refuel with vitamins and beta-carotene
Beyond the daily care and the hydration, the preparation of our skin to the tanning also passes by the plate.
Many foods rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene help the skin to better receive the sun's rays and extend the tan.
Our ally number 1: the carrot, preferably raw. All yellow and orange fruits such as citrus , apricot, melon, mango and peaches are preferred.
In the family of vegetables, we opt for peppers, tomatoes or broccoli. Here too, we prefer the raw.
Vitamin E-rich foods prevent skin from drying out and prepare it for UV. It is found in olive and rapeseed virgin oils, avocado, seeds and oilseeds. Seafood rich in selenium is also recommended.
