Chest white because of bikini
You come back from vacation and turned a nice tan. Only the areas on the body where the bikini has covered the skin have of course not received any sun and have therefore remained white. If the "zebra look" - especially on the chest - bothers you, you can try to match these parts of your complexion. However, do not expect a miracle.
There are textiles that have a certain permeability for UV rays. Bikinis sewn from this material ensure that the areas covered by the bikini do not remain completely light. However, you shouldn't imagine the effect too perfectly, because at least the seams and elastic on the garment let little or no sun rays through. A uniform tan all over body you can therefore not achieve with it.
Which doesn't help with white bikini spots
- What doesn't work is to just go out into the sun without a bikini top for the rest of the summer in order to perfectly match the color of the white breast. After all, it is not as if the rest of the already tanned body suddenly simply stops producing the skin's own pigment melanin after the holiday.
- the skin the breast is slowly tanning, so it no longer looks quite as white and the contrast is less noticeable. But your body also gets darker in the process.
- Every skin type has its maximum degree of tan, from which it no longer becomes darker. To achieve this, however, you would have to expose yourself to the sun for many hours a day for months. This would at some point equalize the white skin, but the risk of skin cancer from excessively strong UV radiation is increased many times over!
Adjust the skin tone of the breast with a self-tanner
- You should choose the strength of the self-tanner according to the degree of tan of your body. For example, if you have a crisp tan on the rest of your body, get a self-tanner for dark skin types.
- Apply the self-tanner to the white areas of your skin. In doing so, however, it smoothly spreads into the already tanned areas of the skin, because there the coloring of the skin will no longer be noticeable. That way, you'll automatically apply the cream more evenly and prevent dark streaks on your white breast.
- The more often you repeat this process, the darker the skin of the breast becomes, but the color of self-tanners also has its limits.
- At the same time, if you go out into the sun without a bikini top, remember that the tan that a self-tanner creates is not sunscreen. Therefore, apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor to the breasts. If you don't do this and it will burn the skin, it will peel and become blotchy.
A UV-permeable bikini is just right for everyone who tans seamlessly ...
