VIDEO: How to keep your tan for a long time after your vacation

Coming back from vacation is sad enough. Only the golden tan is a reminder of the beautiful vacation days. With the disappearance of the last skin pigments, it is time to say goodbye to summer for good. Hold on to summer a little longer this year! If you take your annual vacation later, start the preparations before you leave. In this way, the holiday tan stays evenly and intensely long after the holiday.

Taking care of the skin before going on vacation

• Start with the Skin care preferably before your vacation. When showering on the days before departure, use an exfoliating sponge every day to thoroughly remove dead skin.

• After showering, apply massaging movements. A body oil is very suitable because it makes the skin soft skin, especially on problem areas such as elbows and soles of the feet. Alternatively, you can also apply olive oil to the still damp skin. This is particularly rich in vitamin E and provides the skin with plenty of moisture. Dry skin is not a good base for an even tan. The tan only lasts for a long time on fresh, well-cared for and moisturized skin.

• Eat lots of carrots. The carotene it contains stimulates the formation of skin pigments, which are responsible for that beautiful holiday tan.

• Drink a lot of water. This gives the skin additional moisture from the inside and detoxifies the entire body. In this way you avoid the formation of skin blemishes and shine with an even, sun-tanned complexion.

Get a tan while on vacation

• Use a nourishing sunscreen with a protection factor that suits your skin and avoid sunburn at all costs. Even slightly reddened skin is already damaged. Since the body wants to replace the broken skin, he rejects its cells. In this way, the tan dissolves more quickly and more unevenly, often during the holiday season.

• Apply aloe vera-based skin care products. These donate a lot of moisture and naturally care for sun-stressed skin. You can get aloe vera products relatively cheaply in holiday destinations. If you do have a sunburn, it is best to treat it with the juice of fresh aloe vera. In this way you can still save the endangered holiday tan and keep the tan long after the holiday.

In this way, the tan remains for a long time after the holiday 

• After your vacation you shouldn't use a skin peeling, because this stimulates the skin renewal and lets the vacation tan disappear quickly.

• Take a quick shower instead of taking a long bath. Water that is too hot also damages your holiday tan, because it dries out the skin so that it loosens faster.

• Many who return from vacation are of the opinion that it is best to go to a solarium right away to keep that tan. Don't make this mistake, because tanning beds remove a lot of moisture from the skin. Not only do you run the risk of your skin peeling off faster, but you also lose that beautiful, real suntan more quickly.

• So if you want to keep that golden-colored skin tan long after your vacation, you need to put on a lot of cream, because this slows down the skin regeneration process and drink a lot so that the skin receives a lot of moisture from the inside too.
