Every summer, while lounging on the beach, all women,Of course, they dream of an even and beautiful tan, which they will be able to surprise their friends and acquaintances with for quite a long time. And they themselves will also enjoy the excellent skin tone. But, unfortunately, over time, any of them begins to fade, lighten, and eventually there is no trace left of the dark beauty. That is why women worry: how to keep the tan for a long time and how to make it more durable? And there are, of course, answers to these important questions. First of all, it should be noted that tans are different. That is, the duration of its presence on the skin most often depends on how and where it was obtained. For example, it has always been and is considered that a southern tan fades faster than one acquired at a dacha. And this is actually true, but on the condition that we are talking about being specifically under direct sunlight. Not adapted to such an aggressive impact in southern countries, our skin immediately begins to suffer. And even when you sunbathed according to all the rules - only in the morning and evening and using high-quality sunscreens. And in this case, the skin will still get very small, but still sunburn. Naturally, after that, the process of its restoration begins, that is, there is an intensive exfoliation of "burnt" cells, the upper layers are renewed, and, as a result, the tan quickly disappears.
Basic rules for preserving the tan
So how do you keep your tan after your vacation?hot countries? Firstly, it is best to get it in the shade. This is almost the most important answer to the question of how to stay “chocolate” longer, because a tan under indirect sunlight does not harm the skin. True, you will need more time to get it. But it is worth it, because the skin will be healthy, and its shade - beautiful. Secondly, the durability of any tan still depends on the individual characteristics of your skin. Sometimes it turns out that the golden shine has faded, but only a week has passed, and your friend, with whom you spent your vacation together, has it for a whole month, and she is not at all worried, unlike you, about the problem of preserving the southern shade. Perhaps the reason is that your friend has dark skin, and you are naturally fair-skinned - this is of great importance. Therefore, you should more carefully approach the question of how to keep your tan for a long time. And you should start with preparing your skin. And the preparatory process includes visiting a bathhouse or sauna, as well as other water procedures, during which it is imperative to use exfoliating agents. Such procedures steam the skin well and remove not only all dirt from its surface, but also keratinized particles. If you are not a big fan of bathhouses and saunas, then you can take, for example, a bath with sea salt and various vegetable oils. After this, any tan will not only lie evenly, but will also “stick” to your skin much faster and better. Another secret to keeping a dark southern shade longer is special cosmetics. After sunbathing, never forget to use moisturizing products designed for skin care. Because, as we have already found out, exposure to the sun automatically triggers natural regeneration mechanisms, and as a result, the upper layers of the epidermis exfoliate faster, taking our tan with them. And intensive moisturizing makes it possible to qualitatively slow down this process. Moreover, such cosmetics for skin care after tanning have a whole range of useful and necessary functions that preserve the golden hue well. They perfectly soothe the epidermis even after intense ultraviolet exposure, moisturize it and, of course, protect it.

Moreover, this applies not only to special masks and creams, but also other cosmetics for the skin, as well as decorative cosmetics and even some home recipes that contain components with a whitening or exfoliating effect. For example, outside the salon, you should not use various fermented milk products, lemon, cucumber, pumpkin seeds on the skin.
