    Feedback from our readers

    Olga, 25 years old, hairdresser:

    “I love sunbathing and I think that a swarthy body looks sexy and attractive. The first 3-4 days for sunburn I use a traditional tanning cream, and then I apply it on the body Coconut oil, it perfectly protects my skin from overdrying in the sun and is practically not washed off when bathing. Ten days of vacation - and I'm fully armed!

    Ninel, 52 years old, administrator:

    “I’m a white-skinned blonde, my tan practically doesn’t “stick” to me, I’m in the sun even under a canopy and I always blush or, God forbid, burn. I tried to use sunscreen, but for some reason my skin became irritated. I decided not to experiment anymore. I saw a woman on the beach smearing her body with something oily. It smelled great - a little tart. And the skin got such a seductive look!!!

    It turned out to be apricot kernel oil. It moisturizes the skin, making it soft and smooth, and also relieves inflammation. Now I use only this tool! Yes, I don’t become a “mulatto-chocolate”, but at my age this is not necessary. The main thing is to keep the skin smooth, get a light golden hue and not get extra wrinkles.

    Stepan, 32 years old, bodybuilder:

    “I read an article about tan booster lotions. Quite interesting and informative, but I want to add from myself. For me, it is important that the skin color is a beautiful even shade, so that the skin does not peel off and its color remains for a long time. I am a devotee healthy lifestyle life and use only natural cosmetics. So, before visiting the beach or solarium, I apply a mixture of carrot seed and cocoa oils on the skin, as a base I use olive oil. The girls are delighted with the result!

    Eastern horoscope for April 2019

    Hello dear visitors of my site! Many in anticipation of a vacation are wondering - "How to tan quickly, safely and beautifully?". Of course, you can use purchased tanning cosmetics, but I advise a proven and safe way - natural oils.

    Few people know that high-quality natural oils have a certain factor of protection against UV rays of A and B types, help to achieve a lasting and beautiful shade of tan in a short period of time, and also fully care for the skin during tanning - moisturize, nourish, thereby preventing peeling and other troubles.

    Which natural base oils can be used for tanning:

    • coconut
    • jojoba
    • avocado
    • cedar
    • macadamia
    • sesame
    • rice
    • argan oil
    • wheat germ oil

    The very first thing I wrote Coconut oil because this is my favorite oil. Coconut oil can be refined (odorless) and unrefined (with a delicate delicate aroma of coconut). Both are suitable for tanning, but it is preferable to use unrefined. Since fake coconut oil is quite common, you should definitely check it for naturalness before using it - there is a proven way for this: put a jar of oil in a place where the temperature is below 25 degrees. The fact is that coconut oil at this temperature turns white and hardens. If the oil is diluted, it will not harden. After the oil is heated again, it will again become liquid without losing its properties.

    Degree protection of these oils hovering around 8 SPF. Therefore, when using tanning oils, you should adhere to the following simple, but mandatory rules:

    • Do not sunbathe between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is really important! During this period, the sun is most active, and get beautiful shade sunburn, while not burning, is simply impossible. This is really very dangerous for the skin, and no matter what you use to protect your skin, sunburn cannot be avoided.
      When using natural oils for tanning, to get a beautiful brown skin tone, it is enough to be in the sun for 1-2 hours a day at safe intervals (before 11 am and after 4 pm), so do not worry - in this case, you will not burn, and you will return home with amazing skin tone.
    • Even if you are in the shade or the sun is hidden by clouds, exposure to UV rays does not stop, so even in this case, you need to apply tanning products to the skin
    • Before tanning, you can not use perfumes and products containing alcohol, because. they can provoke uneven tanning and even age spots. It is also better not to use antiperspirants, while tanning they are harmful to the skin. If possible, use natural crystal deodorants.
    • Don't forget to protect your hair! Before sunbathing, you can apply a couple of drops of base oil to your hair with a comb. This will protect the hair not only from ultraviolet radiation, but also from sea salt and wind.
    • In the sun, be sure to wear a hat that protects you from heat stroke, which is no less dangerous sunburn.

    How to prepare your skin for tanning

    Before going to the sea, in about 2-3 days, you need to prepare the skin for tanning with a scrub, preferably natural - it will do. sea ​​salt, brown sugar or . It is better to repeat the procedure 2 times, but on the last day before the trip, do not use the scrub, let the skin rest.

    It is also highly advisable to start using oils a few weeks before the holidays in order to protect the skin as much as possible - after all, natural oils have a cumulative effect. After each shower, I apply natural oils instead of lotions to the skin (most often coconut) - it moisturizes the skin and prepares it for tanning.

    How to tan properly with natural oils

    The oil you have chosen for tanning should be applied to the entire body and face every morning before tanning - it will be absorbed into the skin and will protect it throughout the day. It is believed that this will be enough, and the oil does not need to be renewed after each bath. But I usually reapply during the day as I just love how my skin looks right after applying the oil :)

    By the way, natural oils perfectly soothe the skin, so they are simply universal. Instead of taking a lot of sun and after-sun products on holiday, just one bottle of 200 ml oil is enough.

    Follow the rules of tanning, use natural oils, and get full sun protection and a beautiful skin tone! Good weather! :)

    Have a nice holiday!

    The modern industry offers a fairly extensive palette industrial facilities designed for skin care during sunbathing sessions. These are a variety of creams, emulsions, sprays, milks and mousses - they all differ in chemical composition, consistency and SPF, but the price of such cosmetics is usually quite high, and it can be difficult to choose products that are suitable in all respects. In this case, it is worth seeking help from folk remedies, one of which is ordinary sunflower oil - an affordable product that can provide seductive skin. golden hue and, if necessary, save her from serious burns caused by excessive exposure to the sun.

The only drawback of the oil is its dense texture, due to which it is poorly absorbed into the skin and is rather difficult to wash off.

    To get a beautiful tan, it is preferable to use unrefined oil cold pressed, because it retains maximum amount useful components needed to nourish and protect the skin. The popularity of sunflower oil as a tanning agent is due to the fact that it:

    • has a rich chemical composition - vegetable oil from sunflower contains a large number of vitamins that nourish the skin and protect it from photoaging;
