Summer, vacations, holidays. We eagerly await this time of year when we can enjoy the warm rays of the sun bathing our bodies every day. Summer is undoubtedly also associated with a beautiful tan. How should you prepare for your first tan? Here are some key tips.
How to sunbathe in the sun?
If you want to make the most of the first rays of the sun, it's worth properly preparing your skin for tanning. This will help you achieve a bronzed complexion much faster and be much more aesthetically pleasing, free from spots and unevenness.
Tip 1 - tanning before tanning properly
Before your planned vacation, start accustoming your skin to exposure to sunlight.
A pigment in the skin called melanin is responsible for tan formation. After the autumn and winter season, when our skin wasn't exposed to the sun, low melanin levels are a natural phenomenon. Therefore, to prepare your skin for your first sun exposure, it's worth stimulating melanin synthesis at least a week before your planned vacation. This will make your skin more receptive to the sun's rays during the actual tan. This will help you avoid burns and possible discoloration. Therefore, it's worth visiting a tanning bed two or three times before your vacation, even for short tanning sessions of just a few minutes.
Tip 2 - moisturizing and hydrating the skin, i.e. care from the inside and outside
Moisturizing your skin is one of the most important steps in skincare, especially when tanning. Dry skin is more susceptible to sunburn and takes longer to develop a tan. While moisturizing lotions and creams won't protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays, they will definitely help you care for your skin both before and after tanning. Regularly moisturizing your skin can also help your tan last longer.
Look for balms rich in ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter. These ingredients deeply moisturize, nourish the skin, and are excellent antioxidants, keeping your body looking healthy, youthful, and radiant.
Our offer includes a balm with gold particles, which, in addition to shea butter, also contains other moisturizing ingredients such as cocoa butter and avocado oil. When creating this cosmetic, we also included aloe vera, which effectively soothes irritations. It's the perfect balm for daily skin care. However, there are many similar balms on the market. So what's so special about our balm? The gold particles will enhance your tan, while brown algae extract will make it last much longer. Go for a trendy "glow" this summer!

It's equally important to take care of your body from the inside. So remember to drink 2 liters of water a day, especially in the summer when the heat is intense.
Tip 3 - exfoliation of dead skin, i.e. coarse-grained peels
Exfoliators, next to moisturizing lotions, are among the most important cosmetics in daily skincare. Remember to use them regularly to remove dead skin cells, which can prevent you from achieving a beautiful, even tan.
You can make your own coarse-grained scrub at home! To make a homemade scrub, all you need is a little coffee grounds, a tablespoon of sugar, and honey. You can also use olive oil. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. If you prefer a thicker scrub, we suggest adding more sugar (3-4 teaspoons).
This type of exfoliation is the perfect way to remove dead skin and stimulate new growth. The ingredients it contains also have powerful moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Tip 4 - suitabletanning lotions
Remember to use sunscreen before every sun exposure (not just the first time). However, if you want your tanning to be faster and more effective, also reach for tanning accelerator lotions , which are designed to stimulate the synthesis of melanin in the skin.

Tip 5 - Protect your facial skin
We all know that facial skin is susceptible to harmful external factors, which makes imperfections more visible. That's why it's so important to protect your skin from UV radiation. Remember to use appropriate sunscreens or accelerators specifically designed for facial skin before tanning.
We especially recommend the Facial Bronzing Accelerator, which is rich in black rose extracts and vitamin E. These ingredients will help slow down the skin's aging process thanks to their tanning-accelerating properties.
and bronzing the skin, the first effects will appear much faster, which means you can shorten the time your face is exposed to sunlight.

If you don't want to tan your face but want your skin tone to match the rest of your tanned body, consider self-tanning drops . They're a great alternative for those who avoid tanning beds and don't want to expose their skin to the sun.
Sunbathing - yes or no?
Sunbathing doesn't carry any dangerous consequences if done wisely. Choosing the right time for sunbathing, dosing your exposure to radiation, and using sunscreen are the keys to success. Don't forget about daily skin care.
