The main reason why people use a sunbed is because they want to get a tan faster before they go on holiday or when they don't go out in the sun at all. Unfortunately, if you are not really tanned yet, it often takes a little longer before tanning bed visits actually become visible. For this you will have to visit the tanning salon more often so that the tan penetrates deeper into your skin. Another quick option is the quick tanner, but this does have its disadvantages for your skin. Are you curious how you can ensure that you safely tan faster? Then read on.
Visit the tanning bed regularly
Maybe you have fair skin and you don't immediately get a tan from a one-time visit to the tanning bed. If you regularly use the sunbed, you will notice that your skin will discolour after 2 to 3 sessions in the sun. Therefore, build up your sunshine minutes first. Are you using a sunbed for the first time? Then start with 10 minutes and a low wattage and see how your skin reacts from there. You can then gradually increase the minutes. You can of course also ask a tanning salon employee for advice about which type of tanning bed suits your skin and for how long.
Eat more vegetables and fruits
And we specifically mean fruits and vegetables such as carrots, peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, mangoes, apricots, peaches and spinach. These contain beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein that ensure that your skin tans faster.
Exfoliate beforehand
By exfoliating your skin in advance you ensure that a clean skin surface is created and dead skin cells are removed. Why is this important? By thoroughly cleaning the skin surface, UV rays can reach the skin faster and more melanin is produced by your body, which causes your skin to tan.
Use sunbed cream
Believe it or not, apply some sunscreen! By using a sunbed cream you firstly prevent yourself from getting sunburned, it provides a beautiful glow and it also speeds up your tanning process. TanBoutique has a wide range of different creams and lotions that you can use under the sunbed. Look at here our assortment.
Done sunbathing? Aftersun!
After a lovely soak in the sun, your skin may feel a bit dry. It is then important to make your skin hydrated again by applying an after-sun cream or lotion. People often think that you should only use aftersun when your skin is burned. Aftersun ensures that your tan stays beautiful for as long as possible. At TanBoutique you can find: sunbed creams and after sun so you can give your skin a beautiful sun-tanned tint!
