A perfect, even tan in 5 steps?

Get the tan of your dreams (and make it last longer)!

There are those who wait for summer to enjoy the sea, those who wait for a well-deserved relaxation, and those... for that “golden skin” effect that instantly feels like a vacation. But let’s face it: how many times has the tan of your dreams turned into an uneven, dull complexion, or one destined to fade after just a few days (yes, after all that effort…)?

The good news is that a beautiful, healthy, radiant, and even tan does not depend on the sun alone. It depends, above all, on how you prepare your skin before exposure. Because, just as you wouldn’t build a house without solid foundations, you cannot expect a perfect tan from neglected, dehydrated, or stressed skin!

The right question, therefore, is not “How can I tan more?”, but: “How can I prepare my skin to tan better?”. And that is exactly why we are here: here are the 5 essential steps to achieve an even, radiant, and long-lasting tan, while enhancing skin well-being before, during, and after exposure.

1. Exfoliating the skin: the first secret to an even tan

If you are wondering how to prepare your skin for the sun, the answer always starts here: with exfoliation. A thickened surface layer rich in dead cells can make a tan less even and promote the appearance of spots or darker, duller areas. Conversely, proper exfoliation helps the skin renew itself naturally and achieve a more uniform result. The benefits of exfoliation in summer?

It promotes cellular turnover, stimulating natural skin renewal;
It refines skin texture, making it smoother and more polished;
It improves skin radiance and uniformity;
It helps achieve a more homogenous tanning result.

In other words? Regularly exfoliated skin is skin that tans better: smoother, more radiant, and “ready to tan”. For the face, choose exfoliating and renewing homecare formulas such as CandyScrub, CaipirOxy, or ExfoNight, which are ideal for preparing the skin without stressing it. For the body, try HappyScrub… and you won’t be able to live without it: word of a skin expert.

2. Hydration: the real tanning “accelerator”

There is a substantial difference between a skin that is simply tanned and a tanned skin that looks healthy, radiant, and compact. This difference is called hydration.

When the skin is dehydrated, it tends to dry out, lose elasticity, and flake more quickly. The result? A less even and shorter-lasting tan. On the other hand, well-hydrated skin:

Maintains a more radiant complexion;
Reduces the risk of flaking;
Helps preserve the tan over time;
Supports the skin barrier function.

For this reason, your summer skincare routine should never lack highly hydrating treatments that are lightweight on the skin and respectful of the microbiome. Just like HydroEm for the face and Hydra[mi] for the body, which help keep the skin supple, fresh, and perfectly ready for sun exposure.

3. Antioxidants: the invisible shield against photo-aging

The sun provides radiance, vitamin D, and a good mood, of course, but it also represents one of the primary causes of premature skin aging. Indeed, during exposure, free radicals increase—molecules responsible for oxidative stress, which can promote:

Wrinkles and loss of elasticity;
A grey and dull complexion;
Skin discolorations and dark spots;
Alterations in skin quality.

This is why preparing the skin for the sun also means strengthening its defenses. Integrating antioxidant treatments helps support the skin’s natural protection mechanisms and counteracts the effects of photo-aging: our professional facial methodology mySKINETIC® Plus acts precisely in this direction, supporting cellular processes and helping the skin stay stronger, more vital, and resilient during the summer period. How? Thanks to an intensive 80-minute protocol designed to act specifically against the oxidative damage caused also by the sun.

4. More active skin tans better

A little beauty spoiler: tanning does not depend solely on the sun. The quality of the skin’s response is also influenced by factors such as microcirculation, tissue oxygenation, and cellular activity.

When the skin is more vital and functionally active, it appears more even, more radiant, and more receptive to external stimuli. Melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin production, also tend to work more harmoniously in a balanced skin environment.

Our professional body methodology myBODYNAMIC® leverages the biostimulating action of currents to support the quality of the skin tissue, stimulate circulatory function, and promote firmer, more even skin that is ready to best face the summer season.

5. Hydration and drainage: the tan that truly makes your legs more beautiful!

You know that radiant, compact, and velvety skin effect that makes your tanned legs look even more beautiful? Well, you should know that the equation tan = fabulous legs is not always a given…

Dehydration, swelling, and fluid retention can indeed make the complexion less radiant and less uniform, especially in areas more prone to retention such as legs and ankles. For this reason, it is essential to support drainage processes to keep the skin supple and compact throughout the summer season.

Fortunately for you, they are still here: the professional device myBODYNAMIC® - with the BODYDRAIN and BODYSLIM protocols - helps improve skin quality and promote the drainage of excess fluids, contributing to enhancing the natural glow effect of your tan… even from the waist down!

The perfect tan is built, not improvised…

Now you know the key to achieving an even and long-lasting tan: starting to prepare your skin even before sun exposure. Exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection, combined with professional treatments, work in synergy to improve skin quality and help it respond to the sun in a more balanced way.

Because a beautiful tan is not just an aesthetic matter, it is a project: the result of healthy, strong, and well-prepared skin.
