End-of-Summer Tanning Tips: Keep Your Glow Going Strong

As summer winds down, many of us are looking to hold onto that beautiful, sun-kissed glow we've worked so hard to achieve. The good news is that with a few smart strategies, you can extend your tan well into the fall. Whether you're soaking up the last rays of summer or preparing your skin for a smooth transition into cooler weather, these UV tanning tips will help you maintain your radiant glow.

 

Exfoliate Before Tanning

A smooth base is key to achieving an even and long-lasting tan. Before you head out into the sun or for your sunbed session, take the time to exfoliate your skin. Gently removing dead skin cells ensures that your tan develops more evenly and lasts longer. Choose a gentle exfoliator to avoid irritating your skin, and focus on areas prone to dryness, like elbows, knees, and ankles.

 

Gradual Exposure is Key

Avoid the temptation to spend hours in the sun in one go or go for the longest time on a sunbed. Gradual exposure is the safest and most effective way to build and maintain a tan. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase your time. This approach helps prevent sunburn, which can lead to peeling and a patchy tan, and allows your skin to develop a deeper, longer-lasting colour.

 

Moisturise Daily

Hydrated skin holds a tan much better than dry skin. After UV exposure, make moisturising a daily habit. Sweet Bronze creams & gels are perfect for moisturising your skin along with enhancing your tan. They are designed to help lock in moisture, soothe any irritation, and prevent your skin from drying out, which can cause your tan to fade faster.

 

Stay Hydrated

Keeping your body hydrated is just as important as moisturising your skin. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you’re spending time in the sun or using a sunbed. Hydrated skin is more resilient and better able to hold onto that golden glow. Plus, staying hydrated helps your body recover more quickly from sun/UV exposure.

 

Opt for Cool Showers

After a day in the sun or using a sunbed, avoid taking hot showers, this can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause dryness. Instead, opt for cooler showers to help lock in moisture and soothe any heat from UV exposure. This simple switch can make a big difference in how long your tan lasts.
