How to keep your tan when you go back to school?

Summer is coming to an end, and you're desperate to maintain that golden tan you've worked so hard to achieve. Don't panic! You can prolong your tanned glow with some simple and effective tips.

In this article, we show you how to maintain your tan after your vacation, using our tips and our Onériques Skincare skin creams.

Skin hydration is the key to a long-lasting tan

To maintain a radiant tan, skin hydration is essential. Well-hydrated skin maintains its elasticity, which prevents the loss of the superficial layers of the epidermis, known as desquamation, as well as the loss of color.

Regular application of moisturizers rich in aloe vera or hyaluronic acid has been proven to prolong your tan. We also recommend using La Caresse , our moisturizing body butter made with mango butter, shea butter, jojoba oil, and a complex of plant waxes. These ingredients deeply moisturize and soothe the skin after sun exposure. For optimal hydration, remember to drink plenty of water, as internal hydration is just as important as external care.

The scrub helps eliminate dead cells without losing your complexion.

Contrary to popular belief, exfoliating your skin after summer doesn't make your tan disappear—quite the opposite. Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and helps your tan stay even. According to dermatologists, weekly exfoliation promotes cell renewal without damaging the skin, which helps maintain a beautiful color. Opt for exfoliants made with natural ingredients, like our Le Fondant aux Cranberries exfoliant, which gently cleanses without irritating tanned skin. You can find a selection of other gentle products on our Onérique website.

Another secret to prolonging a tanned complexion is diet.

Your diet also plays a key role in maintaining your tan. Consume foods rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that stimulates melanin production. Carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and apricots are ideal for this. These foods can intensify and prolong your skin's natural color. Don't forget to also include essential fatty acids like those found in salmon or walnuts, which keep your skin supple and radiant.

By following these tips, you can proudly show off your tan for this fall and beyond. 😉
