How to prepare your skin for a perfect tan this summer?

Summer is approaching and the desire for a beautiful and even tan becomes stronger and stronger.

But to achieve a healthy and lasting result, skin preparation is an essential step that should not be neglected.

Experts recommend several essential steps to promote a natural, safe, and long-lasting tan:

Exfoliation: The first step towards golden skin

Before sun exposure, exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells. This helps to achieve a more even tan and stimulates the production of melanin – the natural pigment that gives the skin its bronze color.

You can exfoliate with natural ingredients like sugar, salt, or coffee, two to three days before exposure to avoid skin irritation.

Hydration: The key to a lasting tan

Hydrated skin tans better and is less likely to dry out or get damaged by the sun. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and use natural moisturizers like aloe vera or coconut oil to protect your skin from the inside out.

The right supplements and foods help with tanning

Beta-carotene and other substances found in carrots, spinach, and peppers help produce melanin.

Taking tanning supplements can be an additional help, but you should always consult a doctor or nutritionist before use.

Sunscreen: Protection that should not be forgotten

Even if you want to tan, don't skip the sunscreen. Use a product with a high SPF, ideally SPF 50, to protect your skin from burns and long-term damage.

A beautiful tan is not achieved in one day. Start with 15-20 minutes in the sun and gradually increase the time. This not only helps maintain a lasting color, but also protects the skin from damage.

With these simple steps, you can prepare your skin for a summer with a glow and perfect color - without risking your health./ TAR
