Tips and Tricks from KÖSMETIK

Summer is in full swing and you're excited about your summer tan. But how do you manage to keep your tan for as long as possible at the end of summer? At KÖSMETIK we know how important it is to feel fresh and attractive even after summer. That's why we've put together some valuable tips to help you prolong your summer tan while keeping your skin healthy and well-groomed.

Moisture and gentle exfoliation

Well-hydrated skin stays tanned longer. Use a moisturizing lotion or after-sun product every day to provide your skin with the moisture it needs. Aloe vera and hyaluronic acid are excellent ingredients that soothe and intensively nourish your skin.

Although it may sound contradictory, a gentle exfoliation can help prolong your tan. Used once or twice a week, it removes dead skin cells and promotes cell renewal, keeping your tan even and glowing.

Pay attention to the right nutrition

Your diet plays an important role in caring for your skin. Foods rich in beta-carotene, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach, can help nourish your skin from the inside out and support your tan. Adequate water intake is also crucial to keep the skin hydrated.

Protection against UV rays and self-tanner as reinforcement

Even after summer, you should protect your skin from harmful UV rays. A good sunscreen with a high SPF not only prevents skin damage, but also helps your tan fade evenly.

If your natural tan is starting to fade, you can top it up with a good self-tanner. Be sure to choose a product that suits your skin type and apply it evenly to avoid streaks. A light peeling before use can optimize the result.

More tips for a long-lasting summer tan

Hot showers can dry out your skin and cause your tan to fade faster. Instead, opt for lukewarm showers and use mild, moisturizing shower gels.

Tight clothing can rub against your tanned skin and cause it to fade more quickly. Choose loose, breathable fabrics to protect your skin and keep your tan longer.

Conclusion

With the right care and a few simple tricks, you can significantly extend your summer tan. Ensure good moisturization, gentle exfoliation and a balanced diet. You can also use supporting products such as self-tanners to feel completely comfortable. So you can carry the memory of summer on your skin for a long time.
