Summer brings with it days of sun, sea and tan, but also greater exposure to factors that can stress the skin, such as UV rays, salt and chlorine. To maintain your tan and at the same time preserve the health of your skin, it is essential to adopt a specific skincare routine in the post-summer period. In this article we will explore how to take care of your skin after tanning, with a focus on Face D products: Aftertan Antioxidant Aftersun Body Serum and Nourishing Body Cream .
Why is Post-Tan Skincare Important?
During the summer, the skin experiences increased oxidative stress caused by UV rays, which accelerates skin aging and leads to dryness, flaking, and loss of elasticity. In addition, the sun and heat can compromise the skin barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritation and dehydration.
A good post-tanning skincare routine not only helps keep your tan longer, but also restores the right level of hydration, deeply nourishes the skin and prevents long-term damage.
Essential Steps for a Post-Tan Skincare
1. Gentle Cleansing
The first step is to remove impurities, sunscreen residues and sweat accumulated on the skin. It is important to choose gentle cleansers that do not alter the natural hydrolipidic film. Choose products without sulphates and rich in moisturizing agents.
2. Light Exfoliation
Weekly exfoliation is essential to eliminate dead cells and even out skin tone, but avoid harsh scrubs that could accelerate the loss of your tan. Opt for products with gentle acids, such as mandelic or lactic acid.
3. Deep Hydration
After sun exposure, the skin requires intensive hydration. Using products rich in hydrating active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, and nutrients, such as shea butter and vegetable oils, is essential to restore the skin's water balance.
4. Nourishment and Regeneration
To support cell regeneration, it is important to choose creams and serums containing repairing and antioxidant ingredients, such as vitamin E, vitamin C and peptides.
5. Sun Protection
Even after the summer, don't forget to apply sunscreen daily to prevent photoaging damage.
