One of the most common questions of late summer is how to maintain a golden tan for as long as possible. The answer in a few easy-to-adopt tips.

After the holidays, the desire to prolong and enhance your tanned complexion is undoubtedly felt. To do this, there are very simple tips that will allow the tan to stay until the end of summer, but also in autumn, if properly applied.

Cool showers

To prolong your tan, start by opting for cool showers and avoiding hot baths. Hot water can dry out and peel the skin. After bathing, take care to always moisturize the skin of the whole body with a suitable oil or cream.

Moisturize the skin

It is very important to nourish the skin and hydrate it properly. Apply cream, body butter or lotion all over your body after your morning shower, but also before bedtime. When using your face cream, remember to moisturize the neck and d&eacute;collet&eacute;. And don&#39;t hesitate to moisturize your hands with cream several times a day.

Exfoliation of the skin

To keep the skin healthy, sufficiently hydrated and not to lose its beautiful tan, it is important to help it regenerate. Use a gentle body scrub once or twice a week, it will help remove dead cells and prevent peeling of the skin. After the exfoliation, wash with lukewarm water and apply a moisturizer.

An enriched diet

To maintain not only a tanned but also glowing complexion, include foods rich in beta carotenes in your diet. Most of them are found in sweet potatoes, apricots, mangoes and carrots. Beta-carotene is a provitamin and antioxidant that helps protect the body from the effects of free radicals.

Drink enough water

Make sure you drink enough water to keep your body hydrated. Water prolongs cell life (as well as the golden skin surface), helps the body cleanse and regenerate itself, and gives the skin softness and bounce.

White clothes

White blouses, dresses or overalls are a simple trick to enhance the effect of tanned skin. The immaculate clothes thus contrast with the golden color of the skin.
