On vacation, when we enjoy the sun, we get a tan, which we want to keep for as long as possible. Just how?

Follow these tips to keep your tan as long as possible

1. Avoiding strong shower gels

Avoid all shower and hair wash products that contain harsh chemicals. Read the declarations and choose a shower gel or shampoo that is milder, contains more natural ingredients and is gentler on the skin.

In addition, bathing in lukewarm water is preferable, while avoiding hot or cold water.

2. Do not rub the skin with a towel

Aggressive rubbing of the skin with a towel after bathing should be avoided. Pat the skin a little with a terry cloth or a soft towel, and then it is recommended to apply baby oil. Then let the skin dry completely and absorb the oil.

3. Staying in the shade more often

It may sound paradoxical, but staying in the shade will keep you tan! The sun's rays also reach there, but weaker than those in direct sunlight.

In this way, you will preserve the color and at the same time prevent peeling of the skin. In addition, drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, as body hydration plays an important role in maintaining color.

4. More orange and green foods

Certain fruits and vegetables contain more carotenoids. Precisely carotenoids are necessary for a long tan. Eat more apricots, apples, peaches, carrots, tomatoes, peppers.
