Step 1: Hydrate! Essential for preserving your skin, hydration must come from both the inside and the outside, especially in summer when it's easy to become dehydrated. To avoid this, it is recommended to drink at least 1.5L of water per day. If desired, you can also use a water spray or floral waters to refresh yourself and maintain a suitable body temperature ( peppermint floral water is very refreshing, for example). To keep your skin hydrated, you can also make sure to use a moisturizer after showering. Well-hydrated skin is skin that will be better prepared to receive a nice tan. Step 2: Prepare your body from the inside out with the right foods To help the skin protect itself from the sun and UV rays, we also rely on diet. Certain foods will boost your body's natural defenses and help protect your skin. Eat carrots, sweet potatoes, oranges and clementines, mangoes, melons, apricots, and more. In short, all the seasonal vegetables and fruits with beautiful bright colors that are on our plates in summer! Foods rich in beta-carotene and nutrients also promote skin tanning by stimulating the production of melanin, which is responsible for activating tanning. Step 3: Boost your tan with food supplements The essential WAAAW! capsules are full of good ingredients to give you energy, a healthy glow, and promote a tan that takes hold and lasts! They are made with urucum and dunaliella, among other ingredients, which help your skin prepare for tanning. All you need to do is take 2 capsules per day in the morning for one month. It's best to start a few weeks before sun exposure. Step 4: Exfoliation For your tan to last longer and take better, your skin must be clean and free of dead cells beforehand. Even when you're on vacation, it's important to take care of your skin. We therefore advise you to exfoliate every week to prepare your skin for tanning and becoming golden.
