How to Make Your Natural Tan Last Longer

Not ready to let go of summer yet? Bronzed skin fading?

Peep below our top tips on maintaining your natural tan to keep you bronze and glowing all year round!

 

Prep

Want your sunkissed glow to last? It’s ALL in the prep, babes.

Your skin is more likely to tan when your skin is super moisturised, so on the days leading up to your hols make sure to exfoliate and keep that skin hydrated.

We’re obsessed with this charcoal body scrub from Skin Academy to buff away any dry skin.

Moisturise

A rich body moisturiser is the key to maintaining any tan, real or faux.

We are living for the Coco & Eve moisture whip for keeping our skin plump and hydrated in the summer sun.

In a heavenly dragon fruit and lychee fragrance, best believe we are applying generous amounts of this head-to-toe.

SPF

When tanning in the sun, SPF is VITAL – no questions asked.

Not only does it protect your skin from burning and damage, but it also prevents peeling aka losing your gorgeous tan.

Our go-to is the Bondi Sands oil with SPF 30 to develop the ultimate summer skin.

After Sun

After sun is another key step in maintaining your summer tan.

Containing aloe vera, the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration after sun helps soothe and hydrate your skin after a day of relaxing by the pool.

Apply when you’re fresh out of the shower and admire your newly tanned glow.

Hydrate

The Fox Tan has the best range of products to rapidly speed up the natural tanning process, so this product is a must.

On top of their existing mega formula, the watermelon seed oil helps to increase melanin production (the stuff in your skin that makes you tan!)

Simply shake and spritz after your SPF has soaked in and watch your tan deepen and skin GLOW.
