The sunny days are here and the long summer evenings on the terrace or on the beach await you. You can't wait to bring out your favorite dresses. Only downside, your legs are so white that you don't dare to wear them. Here are Veld's tips for a quick and perfectly even tan, and above all:that lasts, that lasts, that lasts...
To tan quickly and safely, it is essential to understand the “mechanism” behind tanning. Bronze skin to protect against the sun's rays , which she perceives as aggression. It will thicken and take on a golden hue to fight against ultraviolet rays thanks to two types of cells:melanocytes and keratinocytes.
Located at the level of the superficial layer of the epidermis, the keratinocytes multiply so that the skin is less permeable to the sun, thus making it thicker. The melanocytes will produce melanin, a pigment that absorbs the sun's rays . It is thanks to melanin that the skin gradually changes color to obtain that much sought-after golden hue.
Thus, all skin types are not equal when it comes to tanning! Some will produce more melanin than others and will be better protected, especially matte and dark skin that will tan more quickly. These skins will still need to be protected to prevent premature aging .
Well-prepared skin tans more quickly and benefits from a more even tan. Before summer and the first sunny days, your skin needs special care:it will thank you with a long-lasting tan, which will last until winter.
Before exposure, the skin must be well cleansed and rid of toxins accumulated over the winter. Scrubs and exfoliating treatments will be your best allies. The scrub removes dead cells that slow down tanning. The exfoliating treatment deeply cleanses the skin so it can breathe. One to two exfoliating scrubs per week at the end of spring will be perfect. Be careful not to overdo it, so as not to dry out or damage the epidermis!
Of course, on a daily basis, hydrate your skin well to strengthen the hydrolipidic film , so that your skin is more resistant to UVA:this prevents sunburn, but also premature skin ageing. After this little exfoliating and moisturizing treatment, your skin will be firmer and finally ready to face the sun!
In addition to this special “long-lasting tan” care routine, bet on a good-looking diet rich in beta-carotenes :your complexion will be naturally brighter. Carrots, mangoes, apricots, tomatoes, raspberries and strawberries... Don't deprive yourself! In addition to preparing the skin well for tanning, beta-carotene is rich in antioxidants and allows mature skin to fight against the signs of aging.
