The harsh UV rays emitted by the sun can have damaging effects on the skin. Prolonged exposure can result in wrinkles, sun spots, dryness, premature ageing and even skin cancer in the worst of cases so you should be protecting you skin.
Here’s how to invest in the health of your skin when the sun’s out:
- Protect your skin from sunburn by using a sunscreen with a high SPF that blocks dangerous UV rays even if it appears cloudy outdoors.
- Avoid going outside when the sun is at it’s peak, especially if you have a pale complexion and tend to burn easily. Apply lots of sunscreen if you need to go out during this time and remember to re-apply regularly. Wear long sleeved shirts, made of cool material, like cotton and linen, to protect your arms and a sunhat to protect your neck and face from the heat.
- Don’t sunbathe! Prolonged exposure to the sun can result in skin cancers, dryness and painful sunburn. Get yourself a golden tan the safe way by opting for fake tanning over sunbathing! A blend of moisturising ingredients, Sienna X spray tans are super-gentle and lend the skin a beautiful sun-kissed hue that lasts for up to a week. It takes 15-20 minutes for a full application so it’s far quicker than getting a natural sun tan and you can take your pick from a variety of solutions to find a colour that perfectly complements your skin tone.
Bottom line? Sunless tanning is THE safest way to tan. Plus it’s very quick to apply, gives you lots of flexibility in terms of colour choice and leaves your skin feeling and looking gorgeous. What’s not to love? Book your spray tan today and bypass that tanning bed.
