❌ Do not exfoliate your skin before sun exposure
👉 Why is this a mistake?
If your skin is covered in dead cells, your tan won't be even . The result: some areas will be darker and others will tan poorly.
✅ Solution: Exfoliate gently before each sun exposure
- Exfoliate your skin 1 to 2 days before going out in the sun.
- Use a natural sugar scrub; we highly recommend the one from DORESUN , it's a real gem! It's the best way to remove impurities and get incredibly soft skin!
- Moisturize your skin well after exfoliating to prevent it from drying out too quickly in the sun.
💡 Pro tip : Continue exfoliating once a week to prevent peeling and keep your tan longer!
❌ Forgetting to moisturize your skin after sun exposure
👉 Why is this a mistake?
Dry skin absorbs UV rays less well and peels faster , making your tan uneven and short-lived .
✅ Solution: Adopt a suitable moisturizing routine
- Apply an after-sun treatment every evening (aloe vera, shea butter…).
- Drink at least 1.5 L of water per day for deep hydration.
- Opt for light creams that absorb quickly and do not leave a greasy film.
💡 Bonus tip : Carrot oil or coconut oil are natural tanning boosters that deeply nourish the skin!
❌ Wearing a classic swimsuit that leaves marks
👉 Why is this a mistake?
A classic swimsuit blocks UV rays, which creates white marks often visible at the straps and waist.
✅ Solution: Opt for a tan-through swimsuit!
Our tan-through swimsuits are designed with an innovative fabric that allows UV rays to pass through , enabling an even tan without streaks .
💡 Tip + : Alternate positions in the sun and avoid swimsuits with overly covering patterns to avoid differences in skin tone.
❌ Do not regularly change position in the sun
👉 Why is this a mistake?
If you stay in the same position for too long , some areas will receive more sun than others, resulting in an uneven tan.
✅ Solution: Move and expose all parts of your body evenly
- Change position every 20 to 30 minutes .
- Alternate between front, back, and sides to tan evenly.
- Avoid the hours when the sun is too strong ( 12pm - 4pm ) to avoid burning certain more sensitive areas.
💡 Tip + : If you read or listen to music, set an alarm every 30 minutes to remind you to move!
❌ Using an unsuitable or incorrectly applied sunscreen
👉 Why is this a mistake?
Too strong a sunscreen can prevent tanning , while a poorly applied cream can create white patches .
✅ Solution: Choose the correct SPF rating and apply it correctly
- If you have fair skin: SPF 30 to 50 .
- If you tan easily: SPF 15 to 30 .
- Apply the cream 30 minutes before sun exposure , then every 2 hours .
💡 Tip + : Don't neglect any area ! Don't forget to apply it to your feet, ears and neck , which are often forgotten.
