As the autumn leaves begin to fall, some of us might not yet be ready to let go of our summer skin. Obviously, a tan will fade over time, but there are some steps you can take to keep up your tan.
1) Exfoliation is everything
While it may seem counterintuitive to some, gently exfoliating the skin is essential for protecting skin health and prevents the dullness from dead skin cells.
Our Smoothing Body Exfoliant is designed to physically and chemically exfoliate above and below the skin’s surface. This hydrating exfoliant sloughs away dead skin cells, encourages new healthy cells to the surface, and is proven to hydrate the skin.
2) Hydrate your tan
Don't slack-off drinking water just because you're not in 30-degree heat. Keeping hydrated can help prolong the life of all cells (including those nicely tanned cells at the surface) and plump and smooth the skin.
3) Make sure you moisturise
Keeping hydrated at the surface level is also key to keeping your tanned skin happy, which is essential following a period of prolonged exposure to the sun.
AMELIORATE recommends our Transforming Body Cream to provide your skin with the level of deep moisture it needs after your summer. Thanks to the addition of Omega Oils, Shea and Cocoa Butters and Squalane, this emollient-rich cream intensely nourishes, and deeply conditions the skin. These hero ingredients keep your tanned skin healthy and conditioned to help you keep glowing.
4) Cool Showers keep your tan up
Hot baths and steamy showers dry out the skin which can lead to faster peeling. Sticking to cooler showers will keep your skin moisturised and minimises this stripping effect. This, combined with a hydrating body cleanser, like our Nourishing Body Wash.
Used regularly, this rich and creamy pH balanced cleanser will replenish and enhance the skin's natural protective barrier. which is key to keeping up a tan.
5) If not, try Illuminating Glow
If all else fails, our Transforming Body Lotion Illuminating Glow Formula is designed to work hard to give you a holiday glow long after you have hit the arrivals lounge.
This hydrating body illuminator works a double duty. Designed with pearl particles as well as our signature Transforming Body Lotion formula. This will, again, hydrate the skin to ensure the longevity of your tanned skin cells.
While we can’t whisk you back to sunny beaches and gorgeous poolsides, AMELIORATE’s hydrating formulas can help you keep your tan up. By keeping your skin nourished, not only will your skin look healthier and happier, but you can hold on to that holiday glow a little bit longer.
