Our beloved and relaxing summer has already said goodbye to us. And therefore, there is no choice but to get the batteries going in order to return to the routine with as much energy and positivity as possible. However, there are more and more people who, after spending a long time on the beach, still want to maintain their beautiful tan that has been able to enhance all their beauty.
To all of them we can only say that we understand you perfectly. It has been long hours lying in the sun while a sea breeze hit your whole face. And therefore, all this “effort” has to have its reward, no matter how small.
A good one would be that all this brown tone of your skin remains unchanged for a couple more weeks. At least until the cold begins to appear on the horizon. If you really like how this is sounding, then you will have no choice but to follow the following lines very carefully.
Tips to keep your tan after summer
Through this first point we are going to first give a series of useful tips to maintain your tan and then finish with a recipe that will help you in this process and that is also the easiest to make. So go take a pencil and paper because surely thanks to these lines you will be able to show off your palm again.
Eat a diet rich in vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of those components that is closely linked to the creation of collagen. For those of you who don’t know, this substance is what is responsible for giving the skin firmness and elasticity.
All this without mentioning that it acts as a natural barrier to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Among the foods that stand out for their great contribution in vitamin C, fruits such as orange or kiwi stand out.
Exercise routinely
Sport is not only going to serve you to maintain your figure and increase your mood thanks to the secretion of endorphins.
Exercising also encourages and stimulates circulation throughout our entire blood supply. In this way, oxygen will reach the entire skin much more effectively, thus making us look much more lush, tanned and rejuvenated.
Drink plenty of water
If we really want our complexion to always be as smooth as possible, water also plays a very relevant role. For this reason, at Natural we recommend you drink at least two liters of water daily. Thanks to this, all areas of your skin will be perfectly oxygenated.
Hydrate and exfoliate your skin
The cosmetics market offers a multitude of moisturizing and exfoliating creams rich in nutrients that turn out to be the most beneficial for our skin. And on top of that, they can help you maintain that dark tone that you want so much. The truth is that many of them achieve medium-long-term results that will leave you pleasantly surprised.
Natural suntan and exfoliant. Two very simple recipes
We are going to close this article to propose a couple of creams that you can make directly at home. And above all they are very easy to apply:
Coconut oil and carrot juice recipe
To get this natural sunscreen, you are going to need a little carrot juice that you can make simply by blending a couple of units of this vegetable. Next, you just have to mix it with a little coconut oil that you can later put in a small glass jar.
This way, it will be easier to apply it all over your skin. With this mixture we will benefit from the powerful antioxidants from the vitamin A that is in the carrot. While at the same time we hydrate our complexion thanks to coconut water.

To make this recipe a reality, all you have to do is mash a couple of bananas and then add sugar. When we have a viscous mixture that we can apply little by little through all the areas of our skin.
