A rare woman does not dream of a beautiful, even bronze tan, using every opportunity to get into the solarium or lie on the beach with the first glimpses of the sun. However, often the desired result is very different from the real one. As a rule, when deciding for themselves which tanning agent is better, women are based on the degree of its protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation, paying little attention to the peculiarities of their skin. As a result, after exposure to the sun, they get not only a tan, but also problems in the form of acne, increased fat content or, for example, peeling. So, what you need to pay attention to when deciding which tanning agent is better?
Firstly, you need to build on whether you are going to get a tan - sunny or from a solarium. The composition of the tubes of cosmetics for use before and after visiting the solarium is very different from those that we usually take with us to the beach. Beautiful bronze skin as a result of exposure to ultraviolet lamps is a great merit of a certain
tanning product. The reviews of women who often visit the tanning bed argue that for a complete procedure, ideally, three tubes are needed - a tanning activator, a prolongator and its developer. Each of them performs its function, and together they complement each other and provide a smooth and
beautiful tan.And what is the best way to tan, tanning
oh on the beach? Firstly, it should be noted that, as in the case of a solarium, this procedure must be carried out using at least two different tubes with body cosmetics. The first is a means of protecting from harmful ultraviolet radiation, the second is a cream or lotion that cares for the skin after it is in the sun. The composition of the latter includes components that promote hydration, nutrition and, most often, enhance the tanning of the skin, which is provided by special natural bronzers.
As mentioned above, when choosing which tanning agent is better, it is not enough to pay attention to the skin phototype, which determines the SPF factor of the cosmetics used. The fact that the skin is lighter, the higher the level of protection of the product from ultraviolet rays should be, is known to many. Recently, by the way, more and more often you can hear the opinions of doctors and cosmetologists that the use of products with an SPF level below 30 is useless even for the darkest skin (the fourth phototype). When choosing the best tanning product, you must take into account the type of your skin in general - dry, normal, mixed or oily.
The fact is that cosmetics with different skin structure before and after tanning (cream, spray, lotion, etc.) are intended for different skin types. So, for example, creamy products moisturize and soften the skin very well, but they also give it
oily and shine, therefore it is not recommended for
oily skin. For her, liquid cosmetics in the form of lotions or sprays are best suited. Dry skin, on the contrary, needs a
tanning cream that protects it from excessive dryness and peeling.
As a rule, the packaging of proven cosmetics for tanning by well-known manufacturers contains information not only about the SPF level of protection, but also about the type of skin for which it is intended. Pay attention to this, and your tan will always be beautiful without harm to the skin.
