How to sunbathe properly in a solarium: the secrets of bronze skin without consequences

At the beginning of summer, when open dresses and sundresses become the basis of the wardrobe, the issue of tanned skin becomes more relevant than ever. Some people go to the seas for a chocolate skin tone, while others prefer an artificial tan. Read our material about how to properly sunbathe in a solarium without consequences for the skin.

PROTECTION

Solar radiation in a solarium is not as harmful as the real sun, but if you sunbathe without using special creams, your skin may become dry. Always use cream during a tanning session. It is worth emphasizing that tanning creams differ in composition from conventional sunscreens. Therefore, you need to buy a special tanning cream.

Also, do not hesitate to use glasses for protection during a tanning session. Many girls neglect this rule, motivating their position by not wanting to look like an owl with white circles around the eyes. However, the radiation from UV lamps is very harmful to the retina, remember this. And it’s much easier to even out the tone with foundation than to have vision problems.

HUMIDIFYING

Solarium makes your skin drier. If you do not moisturize it in home care, the picture will not be very pleasant. Be sure to use lotions with vitamin E after tanning. This will help restore the skin, relieve redness and stop the action of free radicals that are activated by ultraviolet radiation.

Also, before the session, be sure to moisturize your lips so that they do not become dry from sunbathing.

Despite the fact that you will wear a cap in the solarium, in home hair care, focus on moisturizing procedures. As practice shows, going for artificial ultraviolet light makes your hair a little drier. It will be optimal if you make a moisturizing hair mask 2 times a week.

NUTRITION

To ensure a good tan without damaging your skin, add fish, red and orange fruits and vegetables, chocolate, parsley, salad and black tea to your diet.

Due to their composition, these products protect the skin from the effects of free radicals, prevent burns, and reduce the risk of melanoma.

To protect your skin from dryness and speed up the tanning process, drink fresh carrot and apple juice with a drop of olive oil two hours before your planned session.
