Tanning can give your skin a healthy glow, boost your Vitamin D intake, and enhance your overall mood. That being said, it’s important to take care of your skin after you tan. The team at Touch Of Bronze in Stillwater, Oklahoma always encourages their customers to practice healthy habits after they tan. 

Here are three post-tanning tips from Touch Of Bronze:

• Skip The Shower & Moisturize: When you finish a session in a tanning bed, consider skipping the shower and head straight for the skin moisturizer—and don't be afraid to apply liberally. Studies have shown that moisturizer is more effective if used on its own as opposed to right after a shower. A specially formulated post tan extander lotion form Touch of Bronze works best, to properly hydrate and replenish your dry skin.

• Hydrate & Eat Well: Your skin is made up of millions of cells, and our cells need lots of water. Be sure to drink plenty of water after you tan to keep your skin healthy and to avoid dry, flaky skin cells. Everyone should drink eight glasses of water a day to stay properly hydrated. Eating dark chocolate is also great for your skin, as it contains powerful antioxidants. Green tea or fruits high in polyphenols, like grapes, apples, and berries are also packed with antioxidants your skin will love.

• Practice Moderation: While it may be tempting to hit the tanning beds or lay out at the beach every day, your skin needs time to heal, moisturize, and adjust. Practice moderation in your tanning bed sessions so you maintain a great tan without harming your skin.
