We know that sun exposure is a factor determinant in ageing but we love to sunbathe and we love the sun. getting a nice tan and moderate sunbathing is also essential for our health. health because our body synthesises the sun's radiation in the form of Vitamin D. For these reasons, we explain step by step how to achieve a beautiful shade. minimising the negative effects of the sun.

Before you start

We can prepare our sun skin in a few easy steps.

  1. Exfoliation: to remove dead skin cells and allow for a subsequent even tan.
  2. Hydration: nourishing creams or oils, we recommend the Polynesian oil with coconut & Monoï de Tahiti ideal for application after showering. Leaves skin soft, moisturised and with a gentle, irresistible coconut scent.

Step by step

It is essential to take tanning one step at a time. This means that it is better to start tanning when the sun starts to warm up, before the hottest months arrive. Who hasn't felt the pleasant sensation of the sun warming up the skin in spring? Now is the time to enjoy it, but just because the sun is less hot, it doesn't mean that we should take it without precaution.

So, ideally, you should start to sunbathe in spring about 10 minutes a day or on alternative days. This does not mean that we should not wear protection. Protection is essential whenever we leave the house, even if we do not intend to sunbathe. To take care of our skin thoroughly, we must get into the habit of wearing sun protection on our face and hands every day. For everyday use we recommend the CC Cream with SPF20 sunscreen protects against UVA/UVB rays and prevents the appearance of new stains exposure to the sun and the lip balm that in addition to deeply moisturise lips incorporates sun protection factor 15. And for the hair, we recommend the use of the Two-phase argan and keratin conditioner that moisturises, repairs and also protects our hair because it incorporates a sun filter.

Step by step also means doing it gradually. To achieve a long-lasting tan The best thing to do is to gradually build up the colour. We give time to our skin to synthesising melanin which provides us with natural protection and colour. The gradual tanning is less aggressive for our skin.

Keeping up the good tone

In order to maintain a tan for longer, it is essential to use a good hydration of the skin. Both in the form of internal as external. We will achieve this through the feeding and the application of specific products. Polynesian oil from Carrot and Tahitian Monoi is rich in carotenes and vitamin E, stimulates melanin secretion, enhances the tan and preserves it for longer.

To keep your skin well hydrated and prolong your tan, you should drink the classic 2 litres of water a day, and eat tomatoes and carrots, among other fruits and vegetables, on a daily basis.
