Share
More and more men are using tanning beds to achieve a healthy and even skin tone. Well-groomed, tanned skin enhances the figure, and carefully selected tanning products can further enhance the effect. Many men also have tattoos , which require special protection when exposed to UV radiation.
How to maintain your tan while protecting your designs from fading? Here's what you need to know.
Men's tanning trends
In recent years, men's skincare has become standard. Men are increasingly turning to indoor tanning products , such as tanning accelerators and bronzers , to achieve a deep, natural color. There's also a growing awareness that tattoos require special protection. Protecting tattoos from the sun is crucial to prevent fading.
Why do tattoos need protection in a solarium?
UV rays destroy the ink pigment, causing it to gradually fade.
- Pigment degradation: UV breaks down ink particles, especially in light colors.
- Skin reaction: UV accelerates the exfoliation process, and with it the pigment becomes less intense.
- Lack of care: accelerates color loss and deteriorates the appearance of the tattoo.
Using appropriate tattoo creams and protective products can significantly slow down this process.
Which cosmetics should you choose?
