It’s not even spring yet and we’re already swooning at the thought of endless sunshine and warmth, lazy days at the beach… and a glorious golden tan! But what’s the secret to tanning safely? The first rule is to prepare your skin properly before stripping off to sunbathe: regenerate your skin with a gentle but effective scrub like Exfoliant Body Cream. The mild peeling action promotes cell turnover and helps to eliminate impurities. Your skin will feel baby-soft and totally receptive to protective treatments…and the sun! Once you’re at the beach you need to protect your skin – regardless of your phototype! When your skin is still pale it’s best to opt for a higher sun protection factor: Sun Lotion Medium Protection SPF25 is a protective lotion, and Sun Cream Medium Protection SPF15 is a safe tanning fluid: both are ideal for all over. To enhance your tan and speed up the pigmentation process, a self-tanner is the best bet: apply Illuminating Face and Body Self-Tanner sparingly to the face and body over your usual sunscreen. Avoid the face unless you are already quite tanned. For dark tanners and those who just don’t fear the sun, the only protection you’ll probably need is Super Tanning Dry Oil, a non-greasy tanning oil that can be used from day one. But here’s a word of advice: apply the oil more frequently than you would normally apply a cream sunscreen! Once you’re back home, give your reddened skin a cool, soothing shower, to fix your tan and leave you feeling blissfully refreshed. Massage a generous amount of Regenerating After Sun Emulsion : it’s a regenerating after-sun emulsion for the body, and Regenerating Anti-Ageing After Sun Face Cream, a special regenerating after-sun face cream. Your tan will last longer, any redness will be soothed and you’ll prevent your skin from aging prematurely! Want to discover your phototype? Take our test!
