The vacation is over and everyday life begins again - the only souvenir that remains from the vacation is the summer tan. But at low temperatures and cloudy weather, it quickly disappears again. With a few tips and tricks, you can keep your summer complexion for as long as possible and keep your summery glow well into autumn.
The right preparation
Getting a tan doesn't just start after the holiday - you should create the right basis for a lasting summer tan even before sunbathing. Regular peeling ensures that dead skin cells do not remain on the skin. In general, well-cared for skin tans better and more lastingly. In addition to sufficient moisturizing care, this also includes a balanced diet and a balanced vitamin balance. Particularly important: beta-carotene. The vitamin can protect the skin from sun damage and allergy and ensure an even tan. If you are aiming for an even tan and want to protect your skin at the same time, you should take carotene tablets every day before you go on holiday.
Proper sunbathing
One of the most important factors for a long-lasting tan: dealing with the sun correctly. Especially at the beginning you should not expose your skin to the blazing sun for too long, at most a few minutes a day. In the first few days of vacation, it is advisable to stay mainly in the shade - you will also get a tan there. Don't forget: apply enough sunscreen. Even skin types that are not prone to sunburn should not be out in the sun without sunscreen.
