When you have dry skin , summer often means nightmare! Between the tightness, the dryness and the tingling, you dare not go into the sea, and even less expose yourself to the sun , for fear of suffering. But think again, you can tan and enjoy your summer normally! You just need to have the right tips . Explanations!

Having dry skin: what does it mean?

Normally, the skin is protected from external attacks by what is called a hydro-lipid film. The problem with dry skin is that this film no longer plays its protective role correctly, since the upper layer of the epidermis is no longer balanced. As a result, not only is your skin sorely lacking in suppleness, but in addition, it tingles, tugs and itches ...

These very unpleasant sensations generally depend on genetic heritage and/or age.

Remember that skin is constantly changing. In children, it tends to be dry. Conversely, in adolescence, it generally becomes quite fat. And the more the years will pass, the more it will dry up again. This is particularly due to the thinning of the epidermis and the drop in cell renewal. So pamper her with the utmost care.

Tanning x dry skin: good or bad idea?

Unlike oily and combination skin, dry skins fear the sun and the heat. And for good reason, their sensitivity weakens them considerably and tightness can bother you.

But don't worry, just because your skin is dry doesn't mean you can't have a delicious tan too. You just need to have the right tips to achieve it!

Protect your skin from the sun

It is essential to protect your sensitive skin from the sun with an SPF 50 before exposing it.

Sunscreen will limit tightness, without preventing you from taking color. Pretty good, right?

Focus on good nutrition

If your skin is dry, you must put all the chances on your side, to tan, without burning! So prepare it, by eating foods rich in beta-carotene . Like magicians, they will give you the little boost you need to look radiant.

Moisturize your skin well

Last tip and not least, for tanning with dry skin: bet on hydration ! Perfectly suited to this type of skin, this sublimating milk, with a non-greasy texture, softens the skin while deeply moisturizing it.

This ally of choice is there to feed her, after a day spent lazing on her deckchair. Also be sure to drink at least 1.5 L of water! Hydration does not only go through cosmetic products, it is also necessary to drink, throughout the day.
