Summer is here, and the call of the sun is irresistible. But before you lay down your towel and head out to get a tan, there are a few (big) mistakes to avoid.
Some seemingly harmless habits can actually weaken the skin and harm its long-term radiance . Here are 3 pitfalls to avoid for a healthy, long-lasting tan... and skin that will thank you!
Mistake #1: Not preparing your skin for tanning
We tend to believe that exposing ourselves to the sun is enough to tan. ERROR!
Your skin needs a little workout before starting its peak season. Like an athlete before a competition.
Why? Because the sun attacks, dries out, and oxidizes. And the more the skin is attacked, the worse it will react: tightness, redness, roughness, scales, etc.
So what good habits should you adopt? Start a preparatory routine 2 to 3 weeks before exposure . This involves gentle exfoliation, good daily hydration, and a course of food supplements.
Our Kerato-Reducing Emollient Treatment is perfect for gently removing dead cells, smoothing the skin and preparing the ground for tanning.

Mistake #2: Skipping hydration
The sun, the wind, salt or chlorinated water... So many factors dry out the skin! The result: a peeling tan, tightness, and a loss of radiance.
A good habit to adopt during the summer : moisturize morning and evening, before, during, and after exposure. Choose light textures, enriched with restorative and soothing agents.
The Nacre Cream is the ideal summer partner, to keep skin soft and luminous until bedtime (and its size means you can slip it everywhere, starting with your beach bag!)
Mistake #3: Neglecting the neckline, hands, or ears
These are areas that we often forget about, and yet they are the first to show signs of photoaging: pigment spots, premature wrinkles, loss of firmness, etc.
So rather than just taking care of your face, we focus on your entire body and integrate antioxidant- rich treatments into our routine to strengthen the skin against free radicals.
Enriched with restorative minerals, Isotonic Mother-of-Pearl Water is perfect for a quick mist on those forgotten areas throughout the day!
