The perfect tan is the worry of anyone who likes to spend hours in the sun. An amber and luminous skin, halfway between the caramel colour and a light bronze, which knows how to give us a glowy and healthy halo … in short, a beauty goal that we want to reach every year.

Unfortunately, it is not always easy, because often small mistakes are made that do not make us tan properly: using the razor to shave, not moisturizing the skin or not using sunscreen. These are undoubtedly the main causes of a spotty, irregular or not intense tan. So, what are the keywords to get an insta-approved tan? Simple: hair removal, hydration and protection!
#1 PREVENTIVE HAIR REMOVAL IS ESSENTIAL FOR NOT RUINING THE TAN
Another dilemma that afflicts women during the summer is to choose between waxing and razor. Undoubtedly, the razor is super practical, fast, and painless, but, at the same time, it does not eliminate the hair at the root, accelerating its regrowth and, as regards the tan topic, it subjects the skin to a slight but continuous stress, favoring dehydration.

Although the razor does not remove layers of skin, and therefore of tan, it is better to prepare yourself in advance and enjoy a nice hair removal before exposing yourself to the sun. Waxing or electric epilators are great for removing hair at the root, leaving the skin smooth and clean for several days. But remember not to wax when you are in a ‘tanning’ phase, otherwise you will ruin your tan (in that case, the use of the razor is allowed).
#2 TO HAVE A PERFECT TAN YOU MUST HYDRATE THE SKIN
Keeping your skin soft and hydrated is essential for a perfect tan!

To ensure that superficial cells (those that tan first) dry up too much and come off, it is important that there is always a veil of oil or moisturizer to protect and regenerate them, so that they remain in place and guarantee a fabulous tan!
#3 THE REAL SECRET OF TAN IS PROTECTION
Any professional in the field of dermatology will tell you the same thing: never sunbathe without sunscreen! The main reasons are two: first, the skin must be shielded from UV rays, which are very harmful and can cause serious damage.

Second, the sunscreen helps the skin to get used to the sun gradually, and therefore it will avoid getting burned and reddened, and the skin will be tinged with initially delicate shades and then flow into an intense chocolate-coloured tan.
