The arrival of the beautiful season leads us to dream of a perfect tan , but what is a tan ?
Tanning, called "melanogenesis", is a protective reaction of the skin to exposure to UV rays. The cells release a greater quantity of melanin that moves and in this process tends to oxidize, changing the color of the skin.
Melanin , the pigment responsible for the color of the skin but also of the hair and eyes, takes about three days to oxidize and fix itself to the skin, giving a uniform color known as a tan.
Without a doubt , those with darker skin will easily get a darker and more intense color, while those with lighter skin , with the right precautions, will be able to have an absolutely perfect color . A tan lasts about 21 days if you don't expose yourself further , in line with the life cycle of skin cells, which is about 28 days.
How to maintain the perfect tan: all the tips to prolong its duration.
In case you have returned from vacation and no longer have the opportunity to expose yourself to the sun to increase and maintain your tan, know that there are several tricks that help maintain your tan longer.

HYDRATION: It is important to keep the skin constantly hydrated and elastic, in order to prevent it from drying out and peeling. The Hydrating and Firming Body Butter by Yuniwa Cosmetics is perfect for this purpose. In addition to pampering even the most stressed skin from the sun, heat and salt, it is extremely easy to apply and absorbs quickly without greasing, leaving the skin delicately scented with its floral fragrance .

GENTLE CLEANSING: cleansing is a fundamental aspect, in fact it is good to prefer delicate shower gel and cleansers with hydrating, nourishing and soothing formulas, so that the skin is not attacked and excessively degreased, resulting in dryness and flaky skin . Combine the right cleanser with a shower with warm water , avoiding very hot water. And life of rubbing the skin with the towel but dab delicately. Avoid the bath and prefer the shower , since the more you soak the more you risk flaking! The delicate shower gel raggio di Sole by Yuniwa Cosmetics , is the perfect body cleanser for the whole family, which guarantees effective but gentle cleansing, combined with excellent soothing power, offered by Aloe, Olive Oil and Calendula. It respects the tan and pampers you with its energizing Vanilla and Mandarin fragrance .

GENTLE EXFOLIATION: the most intense and deep exfoliation, with the help of acid exfoliants , is recommended before sun exposure to prepare the skin for an even complexion. Once you have achieved an optimal tan, it is better to set aside these exfoliants, which stimulate intense cell turnover, and prefer more delicate exfoliations. At this point, I recommend using a mechanical scrub with exfoliating grains , which helps eliminate only dead cells and discolorations, promoting an increasingly uniform complexion. If the fragrance and delicacy of the Yuniwa shower gel have captivated you, you will love the Sun Rays Delicate Body Scrub , with fine hazelnut and almond microgranules that smooth and even out the skin perfectly and extracts of arnica, chamomile and borage that soothe and protect the skin.

NUTRITION : nutrition is a fundamental point, because it is not only important to act from the outside but also from the inside. It is certainly important to drink a lot , at least 2L of water a day, to hydrate the skin. It is also good to prefer foods rich in Vitamins and Beta Carotene such as fruit and vegetables (tomatoes, mango, peppers, apricots, melon, peaches, carrots etc ...) which help to activate the production of melanin. In addition, taking supplements is also recommended to maintain the tan and repair the skin. sun creams.

AVOID AIR CONDITIONING: Air conditioning tends to dry out the skin , so it is best to avoid constant exposure to these sources of cooling. If you are forced to, it is a good idea to drink plenty of water to counteract dryness and maintain skin hydration.
-
AVOID ALCOHOLIC PERFUMES: if you want to maintain a uniform and long-lasting tan, it is best to avoid perfumes that contain alcohol , a solvent that tends to dry the skin and could damage the tan. Perhaps prefer oil-based perfumes , which last much longer than normal organic perfumes and respect the skin and complexion. Try the roll-on Perfume raggio di Sole by Yuniwa Cosmetics , in a very practical format to renew the application whenever you want.
-
CLOTHING: It is best to prefer light and soft fabrics, avoiding very tight and rough clothing that can compress the skin, causing a slight but unwanted exfoliating effect.
-
LIGHT EXPOSURE: If you no longer have the opportunity to expose yourself to the sun, try to take advantage of the little free time to take a walk by the sea or in the mountains, gently exposing your skin, in order to renew your color and maintain it longer. However, do not forget to always do it, even when you are very tanned, with the help of a sunscreen.
- AVOID THE POOL: If you can no longer go to the beach but can continue to cool off in the pool, it is good to know that the water contains a high percentage of Chlorine with lightening power. You do not have to give up a nice dip in the pool but it is certainly advisable to pay attention and rinse off immediately to avoid this affecting your tan.
