Summer-proof skin: how to naturally prepare it for the sun
How to prepare your skin for the sun: the natural guide to a golden tan☀️
The June air doesn't lie: the desire to slip into shorts, put on flip-flops, and run to the beach is now unstoppable! Everyone's obsession during this time? Quickly achieving that beautiful, healthy, golden, and glowing complexion.
There is only one problem: haste. Trying to tan immediately and at all costs, without a strategy, is the fastest way to get an annoying sunburn. The result? The exact opposite of what you want: peeling, patchy skin, dehydration, and the appearance of sun spots.
How do you prepare your skin for the sun using organic and natural products? Here is the quick two-step guide from the experts at Idea Toscana for a perfect, safe, and long-lasting tan.
Step 1: free your skin (the myth of the scrub)
The most precious advice from dermatologists for obtaining an even complexion is regular exfoliation. Many fear that scrubbing before the beach will "erase" the tan, but the reality is the exact opposite!
Performing an exfoliating treatment before sun exposure helps to remove dead cells and regenerate tissues. In this way, the sun's rays will hit new, healthy, and receptive skin: the tan will be incredibly brighter, more uniform, and will last twice as long without flaking. Plus, scrubbing in the shower is the secret to:
- Eliminating and preventing annoying ingrown hairs
- Multiplying the effectiveness of your moisturizing creams, which will be absorbed much more deeply
- Giving a radiant and immediate glow to the whole body
The secret of organic exfoliation: the olive pit sponge
Want a perfect and 100% natural peel? The heart of the treatment is the Prima Spremitura Exfoliating Body Sponge. Thanks to the presence of micronized olive pits inside the sponge, it combats aging, improves tone, and prevents skin thickening, leaving skin silky-smooth from the very first use.
You can use it in two different ways depending on your preferences:
|
|
With the moisturizing shower gel (a practical and quick option): pour 2 or 3 drops of organic shower gel onto the damp sponge. Massage in circular motions over your entire body and rinse for a sudden burst of revitalizing energy. |
|
Peeling effect with the traditional vegetable soap. Cut 2 flakes of traditional vegetable soap and soften them under warm water. Rub them on the exfoliating sponge and massage. This treatment, to be repeated once a week, stimulates microcirculation and deeply regenerates tissues. |
|
Step 2: Deeply nourish and hydrate🧴🌿
The secret to a dream tan is gradual exposure. That's why, weeks before sun exposure, it is essential to daily massage a formula rich in natural antioxidants into your body, capable of "training" skin elasticity before sun stress.
 |
The perfect ally? Our Prima Spremitura moisturizing fluid cream. It deeply nourishes without being greasy, giving the skin the essential elements of Tuscan green gold to counteract premature aging caused by UV rays. |
⚠️ What NOT to do before sun exposure?
To avoid unpleasant surprises under the beach umbrella, keep these two very common mistakes in mind:
- Applying perfumes or chemical deodorants: they contain alcohol and photosensitizing substances. Using them before sun exposure is the most common way to get sun spots and rashes.
- Using accelerators or too low SPF: the first exposures are the most dangerous. Skin needs gradual exposure: always start with 50+ protection. Once your melanin has reached an optimal level, you can slightly lower the protection factor.
Well-being on the go: your natural essentials always with you✈️🧳
When traveling, we often give up our daily products due to lack of space in our suitcase, ending up using conventional hotel shower gels. But when your skin is accustomed to the purity of natural products, it's hard to go back!
