Hey Nuda Babes! Get ready to glow from the inside out! We're thrilled to share with you 10 self-care tips designed to enhance your natural radiance and elevate your self-love game. From nourishing your body with skin-loving nutrients to indulging in luxurious post-tanning care, each tip is crafted to celebrate the beauty that defines you.
Tip #1: Nourish from Within
Just like your favourite tanning lotion, your body needs the right nutrients to shine. Fuel up with foods rich in beta-carotene, like carrots and sweet potatoes, to enhance your skin's natural glow from the inside out.
What is beta-carotene? It is a type of pigment and antioxidant found in plants, particularly in colourful fruits and vegetables. It's responsible for giving many fruits and vegetables their vibrant colours, ranging from orange to red and even green.
Foods rich in beta-carotene include:
- Carrots
- Sweet potatoes
- Pumpkin
- Spinach
- Kale
- Apricots
- Cantaloupe
- Red and yellow bell peppers
Eating these foods can make your skin glow and improve your overall health and well-being. Beta-carotene in the body turns into vitamin A, important for skin, vision, and immune system health.
Tip #2: Drink your WATER
We know, you've heard that one many times. But seriously, stay hydrated to maintain supple, radiant skin that's ready to soak up the sun. Drink water all day and use lotion or aloe vera after being in the sun to keep your skin hydrated.
Tip #3: Embrace your Shower Ritual
Transform your daily shower into a luxurious self-care ritual. Use our BODY EXFOLIANT, a gentle exfoliating scrub to slough away dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for your fake tan. Follow up with our moisturizing BODY WASH to lock in hydration and leave your skin feeling silky soft. It's the perfect aftercare product to maintain a streak-free and long-lasting tan.
Tip #4: Practice Self-Tanner Safety
- Pre-Tan Protection: Apply our BODY CREAM to areas prone to absorbing excess fake tan, like elbows, knees, and ankles. This step prevents uneven colouration and ensures a natural-looking tan.
- Even Application: Use our TANNING MITT to apply fake tan evenly across your body. Take your time and blend thoroughly for a seamless finish.
- Post-Tan Care: After applying fake tan, avoid water and sweating for at least 4-6 hours to allow the product to develop properly. Once the tan has set, moisturize daily to maintain hydration and extend the life of your faux glow.
Tip #5: Indulge in After-Self Tanning Care
Treat yourself to luxurious body oils such as our BODY SHIMMER formula designed to enhance your tan. A glittery, silky and gold body highlighter, enriched with Aloe Vera, avocado oil, grape seed oil and vitamin E to boost your glow. This sweet vanilla scented luxurious Body Shimmer will smoothen and brighten your skin in an instant.
Tip #6: Unwind with a Cooling Mask
Give your skin a little extra love with a refreshing face mask. Use hydrating formulas enriched with cooling ingredients like cucumber or hyaluronic acid to replenish moisture and soothe your skin. The perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day.
Tip #7: Sweat It Out
Break a sweat with a workout that gets your heart pumping and your skin glowing. Exercise boosts circulation, helping to deliver essential nutrients to your skin and promote a healthy, radiant complexion.
Tip #8: Mindful Moments
Take time each day for mindful moments of relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether it's practicing yoga, meditating, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea, prioritizing self-care helps reduce stress and promote overall well-being.
Some journal prompts for you:
- What self-care activities do you find give you the most energy?
- Consider setting an intention for your day. What qualities or attitudes do you want to cultivate?
- What is one thing that I learned today?
- Who/What made me smile?
Tip #9: Sleep Tight
Get your beauty sleep to wake up refreshed and ready to face the day. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your skin time to repair and regenerate, leaving you with a youthful, radiant glow.
Tip #10: Celebrate Your Glow
Above all, celebrate the skin you're in and embrace your unique glow. Whether you're rocking a sun-kissed tan or channeling your inner radiance, confidence is your best accessory.
