How to sunbathe in the right way?

The Secrets to an Even Tan and the Steps to Follow

In recent years, skincare has undoubtedly become one of our top priorities. In Italy, sales of sun products in 2022 grew by 21.1%, according to data from Cosmetica Italia.

We’re increasingly concerned about the health of our skin, as well as its appearance, which we want to look younger and healthier. The numbers speak for themselves: over the past 10 years, visits to dermatologists have increased by 40% (Human Highway research).

A beautiful, warm-toned complexion is what everyone wants, but it’s all too easy these days to risk getting sunburned if you don’t take the proper precautions—not to mention that too much sun exposure causes premature aging of the skin.

The solution lies in the proper use of sun products creams—and why not—the magic combination of tanning activators, sunscreen, and after-sun lotions to moisturize the skin and maintain your tan longer.

How can you achieve an even tan and smooth, golden skin?

Tanning occurs through exposure to UV rays, which affect melanin (check out our #beautyblog post on the topic)

over time.

First, you can choose activators that prepare the skin for sun exposure and stimulate melanin production—preferably non-greasy and anti-aging formulas. We recommend Melanin Plus by Napura, a melanin activator; DN4D Tan 365 Days by MTJ SUN, an anti-aging and moisturizing melanin activator; and Q10 Tanning by Napura, a facial tanning product that’s also anti-aging.
Sunscreen is also essential, with varying levels of protection depending on the SPF (Sun Protection Factor). It’s always best to use SPF 50+ and reapply during prolonged sun exposure to achieve a gradual tan that will undoubtedly last longer, as well as being safe, even, and free from the risk of unpleasant sunburn. We recommend Napura’s sun protection products: Extreme Tan SPF 10, a non-greasy tanning enhancer that accelerates the tanning process; and Dream Cream, a sunscreen cream available in SPF 30 and 50+, which, thanks to its plant-based oils, leaves the skin supple and hydrated.
Finally, after-sun care is extremely important; it moisturizes and soothes while evening out your complexion. Our Super Sinergy soothing fluid, specifically formulated for redness and severe sunburn on the body, provides relief and comfort thanks to the powerful synergy of the 7 essential oils it contains.
