1. Choose an SPF product
If you want to swim and sunbathe a lot, then be sure to choose a waterproof one - like, for example, the new Bronzeada, Librederm. This is especially important in the case of children's protection - for example, the Sun for Kids, Lancaster spray can be applied to damp skin and not worry that it will be washed off by the first wave! Afraid of the appearance of wrinkles and age spots? Pay attention to anti-aging creams - as in the Sun Soul, Comfort Zone range. Well, if you have already tanned and want to make your tan as long-lasting as possible, then oil is your choice!
2. Get rid of excess
The main condition for an even tan is smooth skin. So, shortly before vacation, it is worth getting rid of dead cells using a scrub. Our favorites are products with fresh invigorating aromas! At the same time, the procedure helps to restore tone and elasticity, especially if you supplement the peeling action with a firming cream or oil. For example, the new collagen treatment in the Millefeuille beauty salon, which includes a scrub, body wrap and massage using SB-26 cosmetics, is designed to ideally prepare the skin for tanning.
3. Take care of sensitive skin
Are you worried that a negative reaction to UV light will ruin your vacation? Think about prevention! “It is worth starting taking special complexes in 10-14 days,” says Larisa Tsybezova, doctor of anti-aging medicine at the GLMed residence of longevity and beauty. "Beta-carotene contributes to an even tan and reduces the sensitivity of the skin, vitamins C, E and P have an antioxidant effect, and selenium prevents photoaging." Well, when choosing sunscreens for sensitive skin, pharmacy will be the best option.
4. Complete the cosmetic bag
Waterproof mascara, vibrant pencils and two-phase make-up remover are the bare minimum for a beach party, so you don't have to worry about overweight! All shades of turquoise are traditional for summer (they emphasize the tan well!), And orange is also relevant this season. Another unmistakable holiday hit is the water-resistant cream eyeshadow (e.g. new Aqua XL, Make Up For Ever). You can apply them simply with your fingertips, and they can even withstand a swim in the pool!
5. Make an appointment with a beautician
To avoid dryness and fine wrinkles after a trip to the sea, it is worth preparing your skin in advance. “In a month, do biorevitalization to replenish the hydro-reserve and strengthen the barrier functions,” says Elena Nedorubova, dermatocosmetologist at the Time of Beauty clinic of aesthetic medicine. - Botulinum therapy in 2 weeks: then after the vacation there will be no creases from the fact that you will inevitably squint in the sun. And go for an almond peeling in 2-3 days: your tan will be smoother!"
6. Create an illusion
Are you accustomed to always dyeing your eyelashes, but don't like waterproof products? A great solution before vacation is to paint or laminate them. And the most advanced option that we have discovered is the Botox for Eyelashes procedure at the Amelie Brow Bar studio! Several formulations are applied to the hairs one by one, each of which gives its own effect: strengthening, increasing volume, elastic curl and bright color. The effect lasts for three months!
7. Prepare to Shine
The best companions for tanned skin are products that enhance its radiance. So find space in your suitcase for a small bottle of oil with shimmery particles - for example, we found a suitable size at Thalgo. And we liked the Guerlain product for its “dry” texture - no greasy film. For the face, stock up on a light bb cream (choose a suitable one in sunscreens like Soleil Bronzer, Lancome) and bronzing powder blush (like By Terry).
8. Adjust your diet
Of course, you shouldn't expect significant changes in a few days, but a little weight loss is still possible.“Our task is to remove excess water from the body, and carbohydrates retain it,” says Denis Gusev, master of sports in bodybuilding and founder of Level Kitchen food delivery service. - So, before the vacation, leave in the diet only protein foods and vegetables rich in fiber. And drink plenty of clean water. Then the body begins to remove it more intensively due to the increased work of the kidneys."
9. Protect your hair
An important remedy for hair in the summer is a well-cleansing shampoo that will surely remove sea salt, bleach or sand particles remaining on the strands. This is exactly what we found in the new line of Bed Head Totally Beachin ', Tigi. And, of course, don't forget about sunscreen sprays for use on the beach and restorative conditioners after. One of our favorites is the Solar, System Professional line, launched just in time for the summer season.
10. Think about the future
To restore the skin after the sun, it is convenient to take with you on vacation masks in disposable packs (I’m Sorry For My Skin just got new items for use right after the beach). Well, upon returning home, you can connect the entire arsenal, including the professional one! “Biorevitalization will replenish moisture“evaporated”in the sun and help the tan to become radiant,” says Anna Shevchenko, cosmetologist at the Kraftway clinic. "Those who are afraid of injections will benefit from the non-injection of hyaluronic acid using the Dermadrop TDA device."
