How to make your fake or real tan last longer

By Sarah Joan Ross on 10/7/2020

Read on to find out how you can prolong that summer holiday glow

HOLD ON TO THAT SUMMER GLOW
HOLD ON TO THAT SUMMER GLOW
Whether you’ve splurged on a luxury self-tan salon treatment or bronzed in the comfort of your own home – here are the tips and products you need to keep it looking fresh, no streaks, patches or dry skin in sight. Plus the entire arsenal you need to extend your holiday sun-kissed glow to prolong and maintain your tan.



HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR FAKE TAN by London’s bronzing guru, Amanda Harrington


• Moisturise daily with a light body lotion to keep the skin hydrated: avoid heavy oil-based products, which can break the tan down.


• Avoid acid based creams or washes that contain Glycolic or Salicylic as it can make the tan patchy and uneven.


• Wait at least 6 days before exfoliating to ensure your tan fades evenly.


• Do not wax or shave for 24 hours post tan as this removes layers of skin and will remove the tan too.


• Take cool or warm showers instead of long hot soaks to stop your tan from fading.



THE PRODUCTS THAT HELP TO MAINTAIN A SUN TAN
We’re not advocating a tan from the sun, as every dermatologist will tell you any sign of colour means damaged cells. However, if you’re so inclined, these products will not only help the tan to accelerate, assist skin to recover but will also boost melanin and maintain any glow you happen to have.




1. Imedeen Tan Optimizer at Lookfantastic, £40

Formulated with Beta-Carotene and Lycopene to optimise your tan, helps to prep for sun exposure, and the antioxidants repair when the damage has been done. It has also been known to offer relief if you are very sun sensitive and suffer from prickly heat.

2. Esthederm Tan Enhancing Lotion at CultBeauty, £40
This contains melanin-boosting ingredients to keep hold of your tan plus imparts a subtle shimmer to highlight your glow.

3. Lancaster Tan Maximizer at Amazon, £22
Active ingredients and a Tan Activator Complex tricks the skin into thinking it’s still in the sun, so boosts melanin and in turn, bronziness, plus it’s ultra-soothing and calms any redness, reduces peeling and smells like a holiday in a bottle.
