How to get a tan in the winter? Find out the safe methods!

Tanning in the winter: self-tanners

One of the most frequently recommended methods is the use of self-tanning cosmetics. Their regular use allows to effectively maintain a tan in the winter, and the effects are already visible after a few days. Self-tanners are available in many forms - from lotions and creams, through sprays and atomised liquids, to handy wet wipes for quick tanning of individual body parts. Their application is extremely simple and does not entail any risk of skin deterioration as long as they are used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Remember to prepare your skin properly before applying the self-tanner. For this purpose, it is good to use a peeling scrub. Afterwards, the skin will be softer and more moisturised, which will ensure better absorption of the self-tanning cosmetics applied and will help take care of your tan in the winter.

Tanning in the winter: adequate hydration

Before the winter comes, it's a good idea to take care of your tan right after the summer holidays! The summer sun not only makes your body nicely browned, it also largely leads to dry skin. This, in turn, increases the chances of it peeling, which will soon cause it to lose its summertime-acquired look. That's why experts often emphasise moisturising the body after each sunbathing session. Cosmetics in the form of butter or a lotion are often enriched with valuable oils that will help keep your skin in good condition and your tan long after your summer holiday is over.

Tanning in the winter: diet and supplementation

To maintain a tan in the winter, you need to pay attention to your daily diet. However, many people are not aware of this. A varied diet will make it possible to maintain a healthy skin condition, which is possible, among other things, by influencing pigmentation processes, fighting free oxygen radicals, protecting cells against oxidative stress and the correct production of collagen - the basic component of connective tissue. A diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables is a rich source of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other substances necessary for maintaining favourable skin condition.

It is worth taking Olimp Beta-Solar to supplement your diet. These handy capsules provide many valuable ingredients, which help to take care of your tan in the winter. The formula of the product manufactured in a modern Research and Development Centre of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company is a well-thought-out composition of ingredients (such as beta-carotene, lycopene, hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, lutein, vitamins C and E, zinc or copper), which have positive effects on maintaining healthy skin condition.
