Experts advice for radiant and hydrated skin.

Achieving a perfect tan isn’t always easy but thanks to the help of the He-Shi we can all have the perfect summer glow.

From preparation to aftercare, the He-Shi ‘3 step system’  will create a natural colour that lasts on all skin types.

However, while prepping, exfoliating and moisturising are all key factors for an enviable tan that looks flawlessly glowing, caring for your skin through diet and lifestyle also affects how your tan wears, looks and lasts!

Here are some tips that the experts at He-Shi have provided for radiant and hydrated skin.

1. Water baby

Drinking 2-3 litres of water a day helps to flush out toxins from your body and ensures perfect blemish free skin. Skin that is hydrated will ‘take’ a tan better meaning your skin will look and feel better for showing off your glow!

2. Fat we like

As well as moisturising after tanning, hydrating your skin from the inside out is important. Try foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which limit water loss in skin cells, helping to keep your skin plumped for a more even looking tan. Try adding avocado, a handful of almonds or some Omega 3 rich fish into your diet every day.

3. Drink your greens

Dull skin can mean a less than radiant tan – not a good look – try drinking your greens to help boost the skin’s glow from within. We love juicing, especially in summer – blend a handful of green vegetables such as spinach, kale, cucumber and celery together with some anti-oxidant rich blueberries and a splash of coconut water – drink your way to gorgeous skin!

4. Sleeping Beauty

Get enough sleep. When you sleep, your body goes through its natural healing process, helping skin cells to repair and renew, and restore the body’s overall well-being. Getting 7 – 8 hours sleep a night is vital for radiant skin and sparkling eyes – the perfect accessory for showing off your tan!
