DOES THE SCRUB REMOVE THE TAN?
“Don't scrub or you'll take away your tan!” How many times have we heard this? Many, too many. But how much truth is there in this? Does exfoliating take away your complexion? How to make your tan last long? And how to avoid that annoying feeling of dryness?
Let's try to understand better
The reality, however, is very different: contrary to what you think, in fact, it scrubs it helps to obtain a brighter skin tone precisely because it eliminates dead cells that tend to gray the skin.
The mechanical process of exfoliation helps to stimulate cell turnover and eliminates only the cells of the superficial layer of the epidermis, and not the tan obtained on holiday.
The scrub, therefore,is an ally of the tan and helps maintain the golden color of the skin for longer. In fact, after exfoliation, the skin will tend to flake less, thus avoiding the terrible "hangnail effect" and the complexion will be more uniform.
Always follow a correct one hydration to keep the skin soft and elastic
- HOW DOES THE TANNING PROCESS WORK?
Let's start by saying that tanning is not exactly something superficial. It starts from the dermis and is a response of some skin cells to the sun rays. It varies based on your phototype and you cannot change it. You can just take care of it as best you can.
- DOES THE SCRUB TAKE AWAY THE TAN?
No, because as we said before, a tan is not a colored layer that can be removed by abrasion or washed off like foundation. Indeed, the scrub, by eliminating dead cells, revives the complexion and makes the tan more uniform.
For a long time it was mistakenly thought that the body scrub eliminated the tanning. In reality it is thebest ally to keep it bright for a long time.
- WHEN AND HOW TO USE THE BODY SCRUB THE CORRECT WAY?
Let's therefore say that the ideal would be to do so scrubs as a preventative measure starting 15-20 days before exposure to eliminate dead cells and prepare the skin And upon returning from holidays to ensure that the tan goes away evenly, without leaving stains and leaving the skin always luminous.
