The Perfect Tan | The Count Down To Summer

Hello my lovelies!

 I really haven’t been keeping up with my weekly postings and I’m super sorry! Exams and the heat have really been taking up all my time. But no worries, I’m back with another post about The Count Down To Summer!

I’m going to beautiful Italy this summer and I’m going to be at the beach everyday and I know I ant to do everything I can to get the darkest tan I can and then keep it for the longest time possible! Even if your not going anywhere special and your just going to be tanning at the park or even in your garden this post will still be useful to you.

1-  Drink plenty of water, as you need to keep hydrated, if your not hydrated your skin wont take in the tan as much!

2-  Use sunscreen! This is a must as you’ll just burn and your tan is more likely to peel. Also you want to be protected from skin cancer.

3-    Eat a carrot a day! This might just be an old wives tale but I swear by it.

4-    After a few days of tanning naturally you can use tanning oils which help tan faster and dark but I wouldn’t recommended this for people with fairer skin.

5-   Try to alternate from front to back regularly and for the same period of time, I always forget to.

6-   Use after tan which keep moisturizes and keep you tanned longer.
   
   P.S dont for get your lips can burn too so always use a lipbalm with SPF.

Obviously I’m no expert but this is simply what I’ve been told over the years and what I found works best for me.

Till next time
