Always Moisturize! We can't stress it enough. Sun tanning's main detriment to your overall skin care is that the process reduces the natural moisture levels in your skin. This is why it is extremely important to replenish that moisture with su tanning lotions both before and after tanning. Let a Tanning Consultant help you find all the products you'll need to stay moisturized while you maintain a glowing tan. If you're tanning indoors, you probably use some type of tanning accelerator to help get the best color and keep your skin healthy. But what many don't realize, in order to achieve optimum results, it is crucial to maintain moist and healthy skin after tanning as well.
Immediately After UV Exposure
It can take up to 48 hours after UV exposure for your tan to fully develop. By moisturizing and rehydrating right after UV exposure you help your skin boost collagen production, promote skin elasticity, and help achieve the best and longest lasting tan possible. Black is the perfect product.
Bathing
When showering or bathing, select products designed to be gentle to the skin. Products with low alkaline base will help prevent drying of the skin and help keep your tan longer. Try Angel, specifically designed for tanners needs.
After Bathing
Use a moisturizer after bathing while the skin is still damp. Applying moisturizer to dry skin is of little use because it is not very easily absorbed. The result would be similar to putting hair conditioner on dry hair - you wouldn't get an even absorption across the shaft of the hair. Try a Hydration Lotion.
After You Workout
When you workout you perspire. Consequently, your body loses moisture through the skin. Help keep your tan going by reapplying moisturizer after your workout.
Drink Up
In order to complete the skincare picture, remember to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
This rehydrates tired & stressed out skin, helps clear up facial blemishes and helps shed unwanted pounds. So drink up and reap the benefits.
The Forces of Nature
There are many forces at work against keeping your skin healthy. During the winter, lack of humidity and the wind remove critical moisture from the skin. During the summer the sun's rays, chlorine in the pool, and the sand and salt at the beach all work against your skin. Be your skin's friend and select a high quality moisturizer, something with no mineral oils or petroleum to clog your pores. Try one of our daily moisturizers or see a tanning consultant for recommendations.
