Blemish Remover Tips

 

We all know the risks of too much sun, from the most extreme impact of skin cancer down to the cosmetic risks of making your skin appear dried out and leathery and making you more susceptible to lines and wrinkles. Regardless of the risks we still want that fashionable summer glow.

If you are going to indulge in a sun tan over the summer you’ll want to make it last as long as possible and with the extensive range of skin care products on the market you should find you don’t need to keep topping your tan up with harmful UV rays.

Your tan will be more healthy it you let it build naturally. Start the summer season or your holiday with a high SPF factor sun screen. Don’t rush to the beach on the first day of your holiday and cover yourself in oil; you will burn and it will be painful. Gradually reduce the factor but never get rid of it completely; you will still tan even with skin care products and sun screen.

By looking after your tan and some simple skin care you’ll be able to make your tan last a little longer. Your skin will have dried out under the UV rays so keep your skin as hydrated and moisturised as possible. There are a wide range of skin care products available on the market that are designed to moisturise and hydrate the skin and you ideally need to do this at least twice a day, use a skin care cream that’s rich in vitamin E as this is believed to help slow the aging process as well as hydrating and nourishing the skin.

Cut back on regularly exfoliating and try using a moisturising body wash instead. Your skin is always shedding dead skin cells, when you exfoliate you’re simply helping this process along. As it’s only that top layer of skin that’s tanned you’ll want to make it last as long as possible, use a moisturising body wash to hydrate your skin rather than your usual exfoliator which will remove the tanned skin. When you step out the shower, pat your skin dry rather than rubbing it vigorously with a towel as this will help keep your tan for longer.

Half the point of having beautiful sun kissed skin is being able to show it off with soft silky legs, unfortunately shaving is another sure fire way to make your tan fade quicker, try using an electric saver that plucks the hairs from their roots instead. Your razor is pulled over your skin which means your removing the top layer of skin as well as any hair, by using an electric razor to pluck the hair you’re leaving the skin and your all important tan in tact.

There are also little tricks you can try to help accentuate your tan, wearing white or any light colours will highlight darkened skin. Applying a fake tan cream or spray will often work more effectively and look more natural when it’s applied to skin which already has a darker pigmentation and using skin care products like shimmering body dusts can help give you that extra glow when lightly applied to your check bones or lightly brushed over any exposed arms or legs. If you really want to get the most out of your tan, spa breaks are a great way to pamper your skin and give you an extra lift if you’re feeling down after coming back from a great summer holiday
