7 Easy Steps to get the best tan - and make it last longer
Hi everyone! August has just started and it's sweltering hot here in Rome (it's 40 degrees outside!).
In the last articles we told you about the beauty essentials we always bring with us when we go to the beach ( "What's In My Beach Bag? - our favorite beach beauty essentials" ) and we gave you a few tips to prepare yourself for a day at the beach - like keeping yourself hydrated, drinking a lot of water, and trying herbal teas for a flatter stomach during the day ( "6 TIPS To Get Ready For The Beach - flatter stomach and beauty tips" ).
Today we want to give you some suggestions and some easy steps to follow to get the best tan and to make it last longer.
Before to start remember that we all are different and that for some people it's easier to get a tan than others.
Darker skin with more pigment will tan more easily and quickly than lighter skin.
Furthermore, some people have more sensitive skin than others and need to be more careful, keeping out of the sun during the hottest times of the day.

DIY coffee scrub - face and body mask for a perfect tan
It’s summertime and we all surely have just one thing on our mind: how to get the right tan! We personally love when our skin get tanned so that we can easily avoid wearing almost any makeup (check yesterday's article "Fresh summer night makeup" if you missed it) and let's be honest: we all look better with a tan! But to get your skin smooth and bronze there are some things you should keep in mind.
The first one (that we do all year round but especially in summer) is making sure to exfoliate regularly. In fact, exfoliating helps get rid of dead skin cells that may ruin your perfect tan! So today we have prepared a surprise for you: the recipe of our favorite homemade scrub ever! We can't wait for you to try it and tell us how it worked for you. We are also preparing a new article with more tips to get the perfect tan so stay tuned not to miss it!
However, before we start, remember that exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity, making your skin more vulnerable to sun damage. So we suggest you to use this scrub once or twice a week in the summer and to avoid it on days you plan on going to the beach or being outdoor in the sun for extended periods of time. During winter months, use it no more than 2/3 times a week not to irritate your skin.
Now, let's start!
