5 ways to keep your tan for longer

Ready to keep your Sienna X tan glowing longer? Let’s dive into maintaining that radiance. First, let’s understand why tans fade.

Why does my tan fade?

Your self-tan targets the outermost skin layer—comprised of dead cells. As your skin naturally sheds, so does the tan. By effectively managing this cycle, we can significantly prolong your tan’s appearance.

Now that we know what causes your tan to fade, let’s explore five effective strategies to extend the longevity of your bronzed look.

Exfoliate Before Tanning

Remove older skin cells to tan fresher cells that shed more slowly, using Sienna X Exfoliate Collagen & Melanin Boosting Scrub for a smoother, longer-lasting tan. Our Exfoliate Scrub is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Arginine & Lime Pearl Caviar to not only gently exfoliate but also to boost melanin and collagen production. Apply with an exfoliating mitt on stubborn areas if you have old tan. 

Gentle Skin Care

Avoid activities that increase exfoliation and skin turnover, such as chlorinated pools, intense workouts etc. to maintain the tan’s integrity. When bathing, pat the skin dry rather than rubbing as this can cause friction and increase the exfoliation. 

Moisturise Regularly

Well-hydrated skin sheds cells slower. Keep your skin moisturised with Sienna X Moisturise Collagen & Melanin Boosting Lotion to prolong your tan’s life and evenness. Our Moisturise Lotion has been expertly blended with ingredients such as: Arginine, Vitamin E and Shea butter. The results not only deeply moisturise the skin but also boosts collagen & melanin production to enhance your tan for longer. 

Cooler Showers

Hot water can accelerate your skin’s shedding process. Opt for shorter, cooler showers to maintain your tan’s vibrancy. Again, not forgetting to pat dry instead of rubbing. 

Tan Extender

Maintain your glow with Sienna X Gradual Self Tan Lotion. This low DHA formula will refresh your tan, keeping it even and radiant for longer!
