The question that is on our minds every summer. Sunshine, the sea, mixed drinks, a holiday and a beautifully tanned body belong to summer without question. Each of us deserves a proper rest, and lazing in the sun is part of it. Are you heading somewhere by the sea, or will you be spending time in the garden? Quite a lovely thought, because the sun recharges us all with energy, gives our skin a pretty tanned look and brings a sense of wellbeing too. Yet here as well, everything in moderation.
How to tan safely?
How to tan safely? In this article we will share tips and little tricks with you and also recommend suitable extras and preparations for safe and effective tanning. As with everything, less is sometimes more here too. In the hope of beautifully tanned skin within a few hours, many of us needlessly risk getting sunburnt. We should let ourselves into the sunshine gradually, so that our skin can get used to it gently. At the beginning 20–30 minutes is enough, adding a few minutes each day. The basic rule is to use sun creams and oils and not to go beyond the ideal time spent in the sun. We recommend avoiding the strongest sunshine between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.; instead you can enjoy a proper little nap or a lovely lunch with the family. In summer we should add foods rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C to our diet, which support a healthy tan and slow the ageing of the skin. You will find them in carrots, red peppers, mangoes and spinach. Of course, while in the sun we must not forget to drink enough, to cover our head and, most importantly, to apply a suitable sun cream or oil. Do not forget to apply a suitable preparation to your face as well, and a balm to your lips, as they are exposed to the sun's rays too. The sun's UV rays reach us in the shade as well, so apply your product every time you come out of the water – that way you care for your skin the most and at the same time you help your tan stay even.
Safe tanning with PANAKEIA products
If you would like to bring home from your holiday beautifully tanned, hydrated skin, it is high time to treat yourself to the natural Panakeia tanning oils. There are several wonderful oils to choose from and everyone will find their own for the longed-for bronze look of the skin. Before sunbathing we should use a gentle body scrub at least once a week. That way we free the skin of dead, dry parts, it becomes smoother and ready for thorough hydration.
URUCUM tanning oil
URUCUM tanning oil. It sounds so exotic, doesn't it? You are right. As the first makers of natural cosmetics, we are bringing to the market a tanning oil that contains an extract from the Urucum fruit. Thanks to its high share of beta-carotene it gives the skin a naturally golden, quick and long-lasting tan. It strongly supports the skin's pigmentation and stimulates the production of melanin. It is better suited to those who already have a light base tan. Urucum is traditionally said to help the skin cope more gently with the sun, and it contains no artificial filters.
OREŠAK tanning oil
OREŠAK tanning oil. Skin beautifully brown as if from a holiday by the sea – yes, this describes our OREŠAK tanning oil, the tan activator, exactly. The main ingredient of this oil is walnut extract, which brings a golden hue to your tan. And we must not forget the Golden algae extract. It acts as a protective shield, helps calm the skin's response to the sun and soothes it at the same time.
MRKVIČKA tanning oil
MRKVIČKA tanning oil. From the name you surely already know what this wonderful tanning oil contains. You are right – the time-tested organic carrot extract, high in provitamin A and alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon carotene. The MRKVIČKA tanning oil is a lovely combination with marigold and sesame oil, which prepare the skin for the sunshine. Do not forget your after-sun care either – when the skin has been in direct sunlight, it is lovely to pamper it a little. Marigold, hazelnut or avellana oil will be a wonderful choice for caring for and hydrating the skin. You will find these exceptional combinations of oils in Slnečný bozk and in the Terracotta bronzer. Not only will they help your skin recover, they will also bring out your tan. Treat your skin to care through the summer with honest Panakeia natural cosmetics. We wish you beautiful sunny days!
