How to tan pale skin?
Do you dream of a natural tan, skin delicately touched by the sun? Or perhaps you prefer a deep, ebony-brown effect? If you have fair skin and want to look as if you've just returned from an exotic vacation, it won't be easy. However, there are ways to achieve the perfect tan. How do you do it? We've got some tips!
Determine your skin phototype
Tanning pale skin is quite a challenge. Fair skin absorbs the sun's rays much slower and usually turns red immediately afterward. Furthermore, "pale skin" is more susceptible to sunburn. How can you achieve a bronze tan? First and foremost , you need to properly determine your skin type . When we talk about pale skin, we most often mean the Celtic and Northern European skin types .
The Celtic skin type is characterized by pale skin and freckles on the face and body . Its owners have red or light blonde hair and light blue or green eyes. A perfect example of a famous person with the Celtic skin type is model Ola Rudnicka.
The Northern European phototype is characterized by a fair complexion, sometimes with freckles . Hair is light or dark blond, sometimes dark red. Women with this complexion have green, blue, or gray eyes. Magdalena Cielecka represents the Northern European type.
Choose the right form of tanning
Knowing your skin type will help you choose the right tanning routine for you. Learn what to keep in mind for both skin types.
Celtic skin tones find tanning very difficult . Therefore, we don't recommend sunbathing on an open beach . As for tanning in a solarium , there are no contraindications. However, it's important to remember not to overdo the tanning session. It's best to consult with the solarium staff.
For those with Northern European skin tones, achieving a beautiful tan is also challenging, but it's possible . A good alternative to sunbathing on the beach, where we have no control over the sun's intensity, is a visit to a tanning bed. Short (5-8 minutes) but frequent tanning sessions (2-3 times a week) can result in the desired bronzed skin tone.
The ideal solution for people with fair skin is to use self-tanners or spray tanning .
Use tanning accelerator creams
Don't forget to choose the righttanning lotion . As mentioned earlier, people with fair skin should minimize tanning time . Therefore, tanning accelerator creams are a great choice. They will help you achieve a beautiful bronzed complexion very quickly and... prevent spots and streaks – tanning accelerators are usually characterized by a white cosmetic mass.
We recommend the Vibe tanning accelerator lotion with its innovative Rapid Tan formula . The name says it all, right? A short tanning session with the maximum effect of a natural, yet deep tan – that's what it's all about! Plus, the combination of intensely moisturizing ingredients helps keep your skin in good condition, even after frequent tanning sessions.
Sunphoria Tanning Accelerator Balm is also perfect for fair-skinned skin. Its ultra-light formula absorbs incredibly quickly… so quickly that your skin develops a chocolatey glow. What's more, fruit extracts nourish the skin and are responsible for the wonderful (because who doesn't love exotic citrus?!) scent after every tanning session!
