It is actually quite easy to extend our natural sun tan as long as we increase the hydration of our skin that tends to flake off quickly and lose its pretty hale complexion soon after we are back from holidays.
How to Prolong Your Sun Tan Naturally?
There are a few simple tips and tricks that can make our beautiful sun tan, that we got using a mineral sunscreen, stay as long as possible.
- drink a lot of water. This is beneficial not only for the healthy and youthful look of your skin, but also for the good functioning of the whole body;
-use a natural and organic body wash, which is much more skin friendly than the conventional shower gels and helps in prolonging your sun tan;
- after sun bathing or still when back from vacation, use organic aloe vera gel, to hydrate your skin and alleviate any sun damages;
- do not scrub your body. This is a great thing to do when you prepare your skin for sunbathing, before going on holidays. You need to avoid it if you want to keep the sun tan you have achieved.
And the Secret is?
Is this enough? No! The real secret of prolonging your beautiful sun tan is in the carrot oil (not carrot essential oil). It is rich in vitamin A, softening and promoting your natural sun tan.
After your skin absorbs the aloe vera gel, you can apply a bit of carrot oil on your body and face. If you wish you can mix it with your organic body lotion.
You Don’t Have a Sun Tan Yet?
Don’t forget to:
- try not to overdo it as sun can severely damage your skin;
- try not to be outside between 11 am and 4 pm when sun radiation is at its peak;
- use umbrella or hat and wear light long-sleeved shirts or such with UV fabric protection, e.g.: an ordinary T-shirt has UPF7 (Ultraviolet Protection Factor provided by fabric);
- wear sunglasses – they protect the eyes from sun radiation, which causes cataracts;
- use a mineral sunscreen.
Or may be you are among those who like yourself better without a sun tan? Do you think sun tanning is outdated?
