Are you ready for hours to put your body to the sun for a beautiful tan? However, after taking such sunbathing, it is necessary to take good care of the tanned skin.
Visiting a city beach or a trip to a popular resort is unthinkable without an idle pastime on the beach in the name of obtaining a beautiful bronze tan. But to tan turned even, and the bronze shade was preserved for a long time, after the completion of a pleasant procedure of fire, adhere to the following rules:
The key to prolonged tanning life will be a careful approach to cleansing the skin of the body. After returning from the resort, you will have to forget about hot baths and in general about bathing procedures, the duration of which is more than 10 minutes. High temperature combined with the use of a sponge or bast is destructive to the upper layers of the epidermis. Even visually seeming even tan can begin to descend under the influence of a regular soap massage. The skin will begin to peel, blush and will look sloppy. Therefore, wash with cool water or slightly warm, but not hot.
Replace regular shower gel with a moisturizer. The skin of your body needs to restore the lipid balance after communicating with the sun's rays. Choose creamy textures with the addition of glycerin and essential oils of calendula, sea buckthorn and orange.
To prevent sunburn and preserve the resulting tanning, a light body cream will not work. Buy a thick butter on the basis of shea butter and argan or baby oil for the body. Only saturated products will help you with regular use to cope with irritations and dryness. Vitamins A and E, which are part of this oil, will keep tan beautiful for a long time. After showering, pat dry skin with a towel and apply the selected product. After 10-15 remove the remaining surplus with a tissue napkin;
If you are still burned, buy a special cooling spray in the pharmacy. Choose a tool with an anesthetic effect - this necessarily contains lidocaine. Or grease the burned areas of the skin with low-fat sour cream and leave for about half an hour.
