3. MOISTURISE YOUR SKIN
It is essential to moisturise the skin as often as possible. Skin dries out in the sun and makes it more vulnerable to signs of photoageing. Moisturising and nourishing your skin will minimise these effects. It will also help rebuild your protective barrier.
4. ADDING BETA-CAROTENE TO THE DIET
Several studies have shown that a diet rich in beta-carotene (a type of orange-red pigment) can recreate the glow of sun-kissed skin from within. The best natural sources are sweet potatoes, apricots, mangoes and especially carrots.
5. GRADUAL SUNBATHING
After a long time without sunshine, it is advisable to expose yourself gradually so that your skin can get used to it. The secret to extending your tan is to create a simple ritual that is easy to maintain and to sunbathe every day in a moderate dose, avoiding erythema and sunburn in the short term, and photo-ageing and melanoma problems in the long term.
To this end, it is essential to protect the skin well. Gisèle Denis formulations contain the latest generation sunscreens that provide effective protection against the action of UV-A and UV-B rays. They also feature active ingredients that nourish the skin, help maintain the optimal level of hydration and prevent the formation of spots and wrinkles while minimising premature skin ageing due to the effects of the sun.
The wide variety of Gisèle Denis sunscreens allows you to choose from light-textured, fast-absorbing options such as its latest Ultralight range, options for atopic skin, for children or for specific needs such as anti-spot and anti-ageing products.
6. HYDRATE OURSELVES FROM THE INSIDE AS WELL
Drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help cells stay hydrated. This can help prolong the life of all cells (including the well-tanned cells on the surface) and therefore help to give the skin a longer tanning life.
7. REPAIRING THE SKIN AFTER EXPOSURE
Proper treatment of the skin after exposure to the sun is essential to repair and prolong your tan.
