In an age where skincare reigns supreme, and UV exposure is wisely avoided, the savvy among us are turning to self-tans. Here’s how to make your sunless tan last while caring for your skin:
- Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh soaps that can strip your tan. Olverum Body Cleanser is ideal, formulated with naturally derived surfactants from sugar and amino acids, it respects your skin’s barrier, keeping those moisturising factors intact.
- Moisturise Wisely: Post-tan, your skin needs hydration. Keeping the skin hydrated can reduce the rate of sloughing and extend the life of your tan; the fewer skin cells that are shed, the longer your tan will last. Opt for a light weight Dry Body Oil to keep the skin moisturised.
- Stay Away From Humidity: The higher humidity can increase skin sweating and oil production. As sweat is acidic, it can cause self-tan to break down when left to sit on the skin. Try to stay in cool environments or use talcum powder to absorb excess moisture.
These maintenance tips address common issues such as the tan fading unevenly or peeling off in places like between the breasts and upper arms. By nurturing your skin’s layers and keeping them hydrated, you ensure a gorgeous tan that lasts longer and fades beautifully.
