1. Buy a face and body scrub
Two weeks before your trip, start using a scrub or exfoliating body and face scrub. Apply them with washcloths and stiff brushes (but after returning from vacation, put them in the back drawer!). These products will remove the stratum corneum, which rinses off first and can cause uneven tanning.
2. Don't go out in the sun at noon and use sunscreen
Everyone knows these axioms, but for some reason they are often neglected. In the first days of your vacation, do not lie on the beach or by the pool from morning to evening. In addition, you need to observe the time frame of your meetings with the sun (the prohibited tanning time is from 12.00 to 17.00). Also, do not sunbathe next to water: it is known from physics lessons that the sun's rays are reflected from the water, like from a mirror, and their effect is enhanced, which means that the risk of sunburn increases several times.
Of course, you can sit under an umbrella or in the shade at any time, but do not forget to apply sunscreen with SPF 50 or SPF 30 before leaving the hotel.
3. Prepare your skin for tanning from the inside
Fashion for tanning was introduced by Mademoiselle Chanel. In 1922, in one of her interviews, she stated that aspirin-colored skin looks unhealthy, and tanned skin is considered beautiful. From that moment on, the girls began to regularly take sun baths and look for ways to speed up the tanning process.
Some fashionistas drink fresh carrot when they go to tanning treatments in a solarium or at a spa. Carrots are one of the sources of beta-carotene. Most often, this same carrot juice is recommended to be mixed with cream. But you should not get carried away with such a cocktail, otherwise there is a risk of not getting into a new swimsuit. An alternative can be a complex of carotenoids and antioxidants Imedeen Tan Optimizer.
Imedeen Tan Optimizer is based on a special blend of carotenoids (lutein, lycopene and beta-carotene):
lycopene (tomato extract) has high antioxidant activity, protects cells from damage by reactive oxygen species and free radicals;
beta-carotene (the source of beta-carotene is yellow and orange fruits such as mango and papaya, orange vegetables, carrots and sweet potatoes) has pronounced antioxidant properties, plus has an immunomodulatory effect and promotes recovery processes, supporting collagen synthesis;
natural lutein (the source of lutein is green leafy vegetables, marigold flowers, as well as broccoli) very selectively absorbs the aggressive part of the spectrum of light rays and neutralizes their harmful effects, and also contributes to moisturizing, elasticity of the skin and protecting it from photoaging.
In addition, it contains vitamins C and E - antioxidants that help protect cell membranes and proteins, neutralizing free radicals1.
You should start taking Imedeen Tan Optimizer two weeks before sun exposure and continue throughout your vacation. The complex will help you prepare your skin for tanning and protect it from the aggressive effects of the sun's rays.
By following these three simple rules, you and your skin are ready to tan!
