Tips for keeping a glowy tan throughout the summer – and after – abound. Should you believe them all? The answer’s right here.
False. On the contrary, ridding the skin of dead cells is a great way to enhance your tan’s glow. Therefore, use a gentle, fine-grained scrub regularly during the summer. For best results, apply it on wet skin, once a week for the face and twice a week for the rest of the body. If you prefer, you can use an exfoliating glove to apply your usual skincare products: this method is just as efficient. However, peelings, waxes and depilatory lotions should be avoided: as they remove, in part, the upper layer of the skin, they also reach the pigments at the origin of the tan.
This original product is made of vegetal cellulose material (derived from eucalyptus and spruce) whose microscopic woven fibres helps tone and regenerate your skin. Their effectiveness has long been recognized, helping to build the reputation of a product that has often been imitated but never equaled.

True. We know the drying effect of the sun: who hasn’t ended up with a layer of dead skin after spending too much time outside? To maintain the intensity of your tan, you must avoid desquamation. For this reason why we multiply thirst-quenching treatments: use a moisturizing shower gel, we apply a formula based on thermal water on our face, it is coated with a cream or (even better) a moisturizing oil ... and don’t forget to drink lots of water! In addition to stimulating cell renewal, a high intake of water revives natural radiance of the complexion: the key to a golden complexion.
Long-lasting hydration*. Its fine and fresh texture leaves a feeling of ultimate comfort and softness on your skin.
True… and false. After-sun and night cream share several functions: rich in nourishing and moisturizing agents, both soften the skin and allow it to regenerate after suffering external aggression. The antioxidants in the after-sun cream also strengthen cell defences against UV rays: apply it every night during the summer to create a shield that preserves the skin... and your tan! As a bonus, since they need to be absorbed quickly, after-sun products often have a light texture: ideal for cooling the skin and allowing it to breathe during hot summer nights.
A reminder, though: night creams are specifically formulated to help the skin regenerating itself after the aggressions of the day. Using only an aftersun would deprive you of their rejuvenating effect. The best solution is still to combine the two products.

False. These serums, creams and other treatments stimulate the production of melanin - the tanning pigment. Result? By using these products morning and evening, you can extend the duration of your tan by approximately six weeks. A little self-tanner can also give a boost to your complexion.
Absolutely false! No sunscreen provides total protection. An index of 50 or 60 still allows UVB rays to penetrate, which activates melanin. In fact, the higher the SPF, the more evenly the tan develops, without the risk of burning. In addition, protecting the skin properly slows down aging and prevents the appearance of brown spots.
