Your tan

How to properly prepare your skin for a sublime tan in 4 steps

A successful tan is more than just a matter of sun. It is above all a well-prepared skin, hydrated, nourished, and stimulated. And if we told you that it is possible to get a golden, luminous, and even tan, without spending 5 hours a day basking, would you believe us? Follow the guide.
1. Prepare your skin from the inside: the "sun effect" diet
Even before applying any care, start by boosting your skin from the inside. Certain vitamins and antioxidants play a key role in the production of melanin, the natural pigment that colors the skin.
Focus on:
- carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes, melons, spinach…
- (omega 3): fatty fish, vegetable oils, flax seeds
- sun capsules (beta-carotene + lycopene) 2 to 3 weeks before exposure
2. Gently exfoliate for an even tan
Contrary to popular belief, exfoliating your skin does not make you lose your tan. It removes dead cells, prevents shadowy areas, and prepares the skin to better absorb UV rays.
- Face: 1 to 2 times per week with a gentle exfoliant
- Body: every 3 days, especially after sunbathing or on vacation
A good exfoliation is the ally of a even and radiant complexion.

3. Naturally stimulate melanin
Even with a good diet, the sun alone is not always enough. This is where our Solambra tanning booster comes into play.
It is applied like a classic sunscreen, or under a high sun protection for sensitive skin. Its formula stimulates melanin production from the first exposures, even short ones.
1 hour with our booster equals 5 hours of classic tanning, without harming the skin.
✨ Ideal for busy women, fair skin, or those who want to tan effectively without overexposing their skin.

4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Dry skin peels, and peeling skin loses its tan. Hydration is therefore the key to prolonging your tan.
- Apply a lotion, oil, or butter every day after showering
- Drink at least 1.5L of water per day
- After exposure, favor a nourishing texture or a after-sun rich in antioxidants
