Summer is often synonymous with sun, beaches and that magnificent golden tan that gives us a radiant complexion. However, once the holidays are over, the question arises: how to prolong your tan and maintain that tanned complexion for as long as possible? Here are our expert tips for maintaining and keeping your tan for as long as possible!
Hydrate your skin deeply
The key to keeping your tan is hydration. Well-hydrated skin looks more supple and radiant, which enhances your tan. Opt for moisturizers rich in nourishing ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera or argan oil. Apply these products morning and evening for soft and supple skin.
Cellulite Radiance Oil from Cellublue is a sublimating oil that gives the skin a tanned effect while nourishing it. Made up of 99.6% ingredients of natural origin, it illuminates the complexion and visually evens it out. It also contains Centella Asiatica and has its place in a routine targeting the appearance of cellulite, for soft, satiny skin.
Using after-sun care
After-sun care is formulated to soothe and refresh the skin after sun exposure. Rich in moisturizing active ingredients, it helps the skin stay supple and comfortable, which enhances your tan. Apply an after-sun treatment as soon as you return from the beach or swimming pool.
Gently exfoliate your skin
It may seem paradoxical, but a gentle scrub has its place in a routine to maintain your tan. By eliminating dead cells, it helps the skin reflect light better and keep a luminous appearance. Opt for a gentle exfoliant to avoid irritating the skin, or for a glove that exfoliates gently. Once or twice a week is enough: the skin is then more receptive to moisturizing treatments. However, avoid scrubbing too often or too vigorously.
The body cream that hydrates and helps firm the skin
- Kigeline & Fenugreek, two plant-based actives at the heart of the formula
- Hydrates the skin and helps strengthen its firmness on targeted areas
- Melting texture: it absorbs quickly, with no residue or greasy film
Avoid showers that are too hot
Very hot showers and baths can dry out the skin, and dry skin looks duller. Favor lukewarm showers and, if you wish, finish with a jet of cool water for a feeling of freshness. Use mild soaps, without harsh detergents, to respect your skin.
Wear light clothing
In summer, tight clothing rubs against the skin and can quickly become uncomfortable. Choose loose clothing made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen, which are more pleasant to wear when it is hot.
What about food supplements?
Some people like to supplement their skincare routine with food supplements. They do not replace a varied and balanced diet or a balanced lifestyle, and they never replace the need to apply sun protection. Respect the daily dose indicated on the packaging and, if in doubt, ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Our 3-in-1 Sun Capsules are food supplements. They contain copper and beta-carotene, as well as vitamins C and E.
They also contain guarana extract, a plant naturally rich in caffeine: take this into account if you are sensitive to caffeine, and ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or undergoing treatment. If you choose to include them in your daily routine, do so alongside a varied and balanced diet, and keep taking care of your skin all summer long.
Use our Anti-Cellulite Sun Kit
To take care of your skin during the summer, the Sun Kit Anti-Cellulite from Cellublue brings together three products. This kit includes:
- Cellulite Radiance Oil: This oil nourishes the skin, gives it a tanned effect and has its place in your routine targeting the appearance of cellulite.
- 3-in-1 Sun Capsules: Food supplements based on copper, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E and guarana extract, to be taken alongside a varied and balanced diet.
- Exfoliating Glove: It rids the skin of dead cells, for smooth skin ready to receive your skincare.
By adopting these habits regularly, you take care of your skin throughout the summer and enhance your tanned complexion.
A few additional tips
- Don’t forget to continue to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays, even once you are tanned.
- Don’t forget to take care of your lips and hair, which can also be affected by the sun. Use moisturizing lip balms with SPF and nourishing hair masks to maintain a complete summer look.
Keeping your tan a little longer mainly comes down to simple habits: moisturizing your skin, treating it gently and continuing to protect it from the sun. That way, you can enjoy your tanned complexion beyond summer.
