In the middle of May, it is time to tone up our beloved skin for summer. Today we tell you how to get a healthy tan in 5 steps. You will see that the secret is to pamper our skin and establish healthy routines before exposing ourselves to the sun. ☀️🌴 Let's get to it!
- Feeding. Nourishing ourselves correctly is essential to promote a healthy tan and protect our skin. On the list of foods that will help us achieve this are carrots, pumpkin, tomatoes, spinach, kiwi, peaches, grapefruit, EVOO and oily fish. Boost these foods in your diet now to get that golden tone on your skin with healthy, balanced and antioxidant ingredients, which will also help you prevent photoaging.
- Hydration. Outside and inside! Dehydration causes those “scales” that we hate so much on our skin, as well as depigmentation. That is why it is essential that we combine abundant water intake with the application of moisturizing cream or lotion daily. These routines promote the formation of a healthy and uniform tan. What we all want!
- Photoprotection. Something so obvious and that we so often neglect. In the case of the face, it is essential to protect our skin daily all year round, but especially in summer or when we are going to be exposed for a long time, it is essential to reapply this sun protection every 2 hours. The Solar Facial Mist SPF50+ is perfect for it! And in the case of the body, more of the same. Choose the sunscreen format that you like best and apply it before exposure and then reapply every 2 hours. In Agrado you will find your favorites! We always advise choosing the protection factor based on your phototype, with the highest being preferred by whiter and more sensitive skin, and the lowest by darker skin.
- Control the time and moment of exposure. It is important that this is consistent and gradual to achieve a healthy tan and not irritate or damage the skin. That is, avoid the middle hours of the day, when UVA rays are stronger and more damaging, and start sunbathing from less to more time, to avoid burns on the first day, when your skin is most sensitive.
- Move on! And lying in the sun may be appealing, but the ideal is to start exposing ourselves in a less direct way. The ideal option is to take the opportunity to take a walk or play sports outdoors, and thus start tanning our skin in a responsible and progressive way. Additionally, this will help you improve circulation and feel less bloated, which will also be reflected in your skin.
Simple, right? A healthy tan is possible if we learn to know our body and skin and give them what they need. Remember that the skin has memory, and if we do stupid things with it and do not take care of it, over the years it will return the neglect in the form of wrinkles, spots and a dull, grayish tone. Follow these steps and don't risk it!
