Tips To Help You Make Your Tan Last Longer

It can be hard when a summer vacation ends, but it can be especially disappointing when the tan from your vacation begins to fade, as well, often mere days after you get back home.

Thankfully, there are ways you can make your tan stay on for longer. These tips below work for real tans, as well as for fake ones.

Start before you get your tan

Your work making a long-lasting tan happen, starts well before you actually get the tan. It’s a good idea to begin by exfoliating and moisturizing your whole body each day, starting a week before your trip. A gentle exfoliating wash (nothing with microbeads or anything abrasive) helps make sure that dead skin cells are out of the way, so that the sun can get directly to work on your skin and produce a tan that’s as deep as possible (real tans run much deeper than fake tans).

Lotions with body butters and hyaluronic acid can be especially effective moisturizers. Skin with a healthy level of moisture doesn’t peel. This makes sure that your tan stays on for as long as possible.

You might be tempted to try one of the unproven speed-tan supplements and lotions that litter out-of-the-way stores on the internet. However, these aren’t proven to work, at all, and can actually speed things up unevenly. If you want to make your skin more receptive to tanning, you could try an omega-3-enriched skin lotion, instead.

Take care of your skin after each day out in the sun

You don’t want to overexpose yourself to the sun or get out there without strong SPF. If you burn yourself, you’ll need to deal with peeling skin, which takes away your tan.

Once your vacation begins, it’s a good idea to moisturize your skin after you get out of the sun each day. An after-sun lotion could help. Once you get back to your air-conditioned hotel room, it could feel overly cold after the heat of the sun, making you want to turn up the hot water in the shower. It’s important, again, to think of your skin’s hydration, however. Hot water can strip off all the natural oils that you’ve worked hard to put in your skin. You want to bathe or shower in water that’s as close to room temperature as you can manage. It could even help to use moisturizing shower gel.

Add moisture from the inside

Moisturizing your skin is important to retaining your tan, but giving your skin a supply of water is important, as well. To keep your skin well-nourished with moisture, you need to make sure that you drink 2 liters of water each day.

Finally, even as your tan begins to fade over time, you can make it appear more intense by gently exfoliating. Getting rid of the dead cells that cover your skin and dull your tan, can only help your tan shine through better. You could also consider topping up with a fake tan. This could be especially useful, considering that natural tans tend to fade unevenly.
