How to prepare your skin for tanning?
Preparing for a tan is a process that requires attention and care, especially with the arrival of warm weather. It's not just about exposing yourself to the sun, but also following a series of essential steps to ensure your skin is ready and healthy. Here are 5 essential steps for effective preparation, including the right products to use.

1. Exfoliation: the first essential step
The first thing to do is exfoliate your skin. Using a scrub regularly can stimulate cell renewal and improve microcirculation. This makes the action of tanning products, as well as moisturizing and anti-aging agents, much more effective. It's important to choose a gentle scrub and combine exfoliation with a nourishing cleanser, avoiding overly aggressive products. This will help maintain the skin's hydrolipidic balance and purify it, preparing the ideal surface for tanning.

2. Preparation with Solar Cosmetics
Once your skin is exfoliated, it's time to prepare it for sun exposure. Use tanning sunscreens that combine advanced technologies with anti-aging ingredients.
These products:
- They provide hydration and nutrients all year round, strengthening the skin's natural defenses.
- They stimulate melanin production when applied 2-3 months before sun exposure, increasing the skin's ability to tan quickly and lastingly. They should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure to hydrate and prepare the skin, and should be combined with sunscreen.

3. Skin protection
Don't forget that protecting your skin is essential. Using sunscreen with SPF is essential to avoid external aggressors, both natural and environmental. Opt for products that combine physical and organic sunscreens with hydrating active ingredients. This way, you'll not only protect your skin from UV damage, but also from pollution and blue light, especially in the fall and winter, when these aggressors are common.

4. Repair: daily care
To maintain your skin's hydrolipidic barrier, it's essential to regularly apply moisturizing sunscreens. Products containing vitamins A, E, B5, minerals, and essential fatty acids have anti-aging properties and protect the skin from bacteria and pathogens. This approach will help prevent problems like dermatitis and inflammation. Don't forget to apply them every day of the year!

Finally, to even out your complexion and give it a radiant glow, you can use RAYsistant makeup by Australian Gold. These products are designed to enhance your tan, giving skin an amber glow all year round. With SPF and anti-aging ingredients like apple stem cells and vitamin E, makeup becomes a valuable ally in your beauty routine.
