The allure of a sun-kissed glow is undeniable, but with the rise of skin health awareness, many are turning to self-tanners for that bronzed look. But what happens when you want to enjoy the sun after applying self-tanner? Let's explore the do's and don'ts of combining self-tanner with sunbathing.
Understanding Self-Tanner
Self-tanners, like Elan Pure's non-toxic formula, provide a safe, sun-free tan using plant-based DHA. This ingredient reacts with the skin's amino acids to create a natural-looking tan without UV exposure, providing a healthy glow and an alternative to the sun.
Sunbathing with Self-Tanner: Is It Safe?
Yes, you can sunbathe with self-tanner on, but there are important considerations:
- No UV Protection: Self-tanners do not offer sun protection. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen ( preferably non-toxic) with at least SPF 30 to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Timing Matters: Allow your self-tanner to fully develop (usually 6-8 hours) before sun exposure to ensure an even tan before sunbathing or swimming.
- Hydration is Key: Sunbathing can dehydrate your skin. Use a non-toxic moisturizer to maintain your tan and skin health.
- Reapply Sunscreen: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain protection.
Benefits of Combining Self-Tanner and Sunbathing
- Even Tan: Self-tanner provides a base tan, reducing the need for prolonged sun exposure.
- Skin Health: By limiting sun exposure, you reduce the risk of sun damage and premature aging.
Conclusion
While you can wear self-tanner and go sunbathing, prioritize sun protection and hydration. With Elan Pure's non-toxic self-tanner, you can enjoy a beautiful, safe non -toxic glow while embracing the sun responsibly.
