4 Of The Best Ways To Maintain Your Summer Tan Throughout Fall

We hate to break it to you, but yes summer is coming to an end, so the tan you’ve worked on all summer long might fade away very soon. But we are here with the best tips and tricks (and products) to maintain it longer and keep it as shiny and glowing throughout fall.

 

Avoid the dullness

When the tan wears off, it turns yellow and dull as the proteins in the skin oxidize. Here, you should avoid powder bronzers and replace them with a purple reflective primer.

Boost the glow

The tan is at its best when given light and hydration. What you should do is avoid any matt textures and go for sun powders in gel, lotion or cream and choose formulas that are enriched with moisturizing active ingredients. Also, reflective pigments are preferred.

Exfoliate gently and regularly

After being protected from UV rays, the skin thickens and dead cells make the complexion dull. The solution: Apply a gentle exfoliating lotion at night or use a grain scrub twice a week. It will even the skin and make it brighter.

Enjoy a facial treatment

When you visit your favorite spa, ask for a facial that combines an effective exfoliation to remove dead cells, vitamin C products to reduce dark spots and brighten the complexion, and manual lifting techniques. You will leave with a radiant skin and a long-lasting tan.

 

Glow from the inside out

Food supplements are your best friend when it comes to a long-lasting and flawless tan. Beta-carotene and vitamin E-rich foods (tomatoes, carrots, melon…) will definitely enhance your golden complexion. You can also take tanning and antioxidant pills, but the ideal is a cocktail dosed with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol ... to boost the radiance.
