How to prolong your tan after summer?

Sep 09, 2024

We all like this summer tanned complexion that illuminates our face and gives us a radiant mine. But once the holidays are over, it is often difficult to extend this so much appreciated tan. In this article, Monjour reveals its tips to keep your tan as long as possible.

Understand the tan to better prolong it.

Tanning is actually a natural response from our organism in the face of UV rays exposure. When exposed to the sun, our skin produces a pigment called melanin, which is responsible for this so -seeed golden color. However, it is important to understand that this beautiful tanned shade is not eternal.

Indeed, our skin is constantly renewed, a process that takes place over a period of 20 to 30 days. At the end of this cycle, the tanned cells are gradually replaced by new cells, and with them, our so appreciated tan ended up.

The routine to follow on the return from the holidays.

1. Skin scrub received:

The scrub removes tanning. This statement is false because the scrub eliminates dead cells and allows skin regeneration without touching melanin (the famous pigment which is responsible for tanning). The skin once erased is invigorated because it is rid of all the impurities. The scrub is to be carried out once a week after returning from vacation. Indeed, erasing your skin on vacation has no real interest and is even not recommended because the scrub removes the thick layer created by the skin to protect itself from the attacks of the sun.

2. Soft skin cleaning:

Clean your skin with a washing gel Adapted helps to eliminate the body's impurities daily. For soft cleaning, avoid hot water and aggressive soaps and favor hypoallergenic soaps and lukewarm water.

3. Skin hydration:

To avoid peeling skin and therefore the differences in the resulting skin pigmentation, it is necessary to hydrate your skin morning and evening. However, it is best to use a Moisturizing cream Soft, suitable for sensitive skin because the skin is damaged in summer and all the attacks it has undergone during this period.
