Winter can be tough on your skin and your tan, but with a few smart tips, you can keep both looking fabulous throughout the colder months. At SHINE Tanning Solutions, we’ve got the scoop on how to maintain your radiant glow and keep your skin healthy and hydrated even when the temperature drops. Let’s dive into our winter skin care secrets!
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Winter air is dry, and indoor heating can suck the moisture right out of your skin. To combat this, make moisturizing a key part of your daily routine. Opt for a high-quality moisturizer that’s free from mineral oils and petroleum, as these can strip your tan.
Pro Tip: Apply moisturizer right after you shower while your skin is still damp. This helps to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft and supple. Our SHINE Extend Lotion is perfect for this—it's designed to hydrate your skin while extending the life of your tan.
Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out
Hydration isn’t just about what you put on your skin; it’s also about what you put in your body. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. This not only benefits your overall health but also helps maintain your tan and keep your skin looking radiant.
Gentle Cleansing is Key
Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. In winter, switch to a gentle, hydrating cleanser that cleans your skin without stripping away essential moisture. Look for sulfate-free options that are designed for sensitive skin.
Pro Tip:Â Avoid long, hot showers which can further dry out your skin. Instead, opt for lukewarm water and keep your showers short.
Exfoliate with Care
Exfoliation is crucial for maintaining smooth, glowing skin, but it’s important to be gentle, especially in winter. Over-exfoliating can lead to dryness and flakiness, which is the last thing you want. Use a gentle exfoliator like the SHINE Exfoliating Mitt once or twice a week to slough off dead skin cells without stripping your skin of moisture.
Pro Tip:Â Follow up exfoliation with a rich moisturizer to replenish your skin's hydration levels.
Protect Your Skin from the Elements
Cold winds and low humidity can be harsh on your skin, causing it to lose moisture quickly. When you’re outside, protect your skin by wearing gloves, scarves, and hats. Don’t forget to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, even in winter. UV rays can still damage your skin and fade your tan.
Pro Tip:Â Use a facial moisturizer with SPF to keep your skin protected and hydrated.
Boost Your Tan with SHINE Products
Winter is the perfect time to boost your tan with our SHINE self-tanning products. The SHINE Tan Drops can be mixed with your favorite moisturizer to give your skin a subtle, natural-looking glow. For a more intense tan, try our SHINE Bronzing Mousse. These products are designed to be gentle on your skin and provide a beautiful, even tan.
Pro Tip:Â Apply self-tanning products in a warm, humid environment like the bathroom after a shower. This helps the product to spread evenly and absorb better into your skin.
Testimonials: Real Stories from Our Happy Clients
"Excellent customer service-friendly staff-clean facility- and always a perfect tan!! With a hectic schedule I don't always have the ability to make appointments- I have always had my daughter do "walk in's" and have not had to wait once! She is seen immediately and the tan is quick, easy, and always looks great! Having a technician spray manually rather than a machine makes for complete coverage and always a natural look. Very pleased!!" - C.L.
"This was my first time ever needing a spray tan so I was a little nervous and wanted to do it right! It couldn’t have been easier! The timing was so quick and the woman was so sweet. She was so informative with before and after care and she talked me through the actually spray tan when we began. My tan looks so smooth and natural. I would recommend Shine Spray Tanning & Waxing to anyone looking for a great experience and great results!" - Antonette K.
