A dermatologist at the Center for Aesthetic Medicine told and showed how to properly prepare the face and the entire body for tanning.
Keeping skin hydrated is essential for a healthy, glowing complexion. Well-hydrated skin is more resilient, has a smoother texture, and is less prone to irritation and premature aging. To maintain optimal hydration, use a quality moisturizer, drink plenty of water, and consider treatments like hyaluronic acid serums or hydrating facials, which can lock in moisture and enhance the skin’s natural barrier. Hydrated skin looks fresh, feels supple, and radiates vitality
Care For Face and Neck Before Tanning
Before tanning, whether natural or artificial, it’s important to properly care for your face and neck to ensure an even, healthy glow while protecting your skin. Here’s how to prepare:
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the face and neck to remove dead skin cells. This helps prevent uneven tanning and ensures a smooth surface for better results. Use a mild exfoliator or a scrub designed for the face to avoid irritation.
Hydrate: Apply a hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin smooth and hydrated. Dry skin tends to absorb tanning products unevenly, leading to streaks or patches.
Sun Protection: Always apply sunscreen before exposing your skin to UV rays. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the face and neck from harmful UV damage, which can cause premature aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Avoid Heavy Makeup: Remove makeup and skincare products that contain oils, as they can create a barrier that prevents tanning products from working effectively.
Shave or Wax: If you plan to remove body hair, do so at least 24 hours before tanning to prevent irritation and ensure smooth, even tanning results.
Taking these simple steps will prepare your face and neck for tanning, helping to maintain healthy skin while achieving an even, radiant tan.

European Cosmetic Quality Standard
The European Cosmetic Quality Standard refers to the stringent regulations and guidelines set by the European Union to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of cosmetic products. These standards are designed to protect consumers while promoting fair competition within the cosmetic industry. The key components of the European Cosmetic Quality Standard include:
Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009: This is the primary legislation governing cosmetic products in the EU. It sets requirements for product safety, labeling, claims, and packaging, ensuring that all cosmetics on the market are safe for use by consumers.
Safety Assessments: All cosmetic products must undergo a safety assessment by a qualified safety assessor before being marketed in the EU. This includes testing for potential risks like allergens, irritants, and toxicity.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): Manufacturers must adhere to GMP guidelines to ensure consistent product quality, safety, and hygiene during production. These practices are regularly audited by regulatory authorities.
Ingredient Transparency: Cosmetic products must list all ingredients on their packaging in a clear, standardized format. The EU also maintains a list of banned or restricted substances, ensuring that harmful ingredients are not used in cosmetics.
Environmental and Ethical Standards: There are guidelines in place regarding environmental impact, including restrictions on animal testing. The EU has banned animal testing for cosmetics since 2013, promoting alternative testing methods.
Efficacy Claims: Any claims made about the effectiveness of a cosmetic product, such as anti-aging or skin hydrating benefits, must be backed by scientific evidence.
By adhering to these high standards, European cosmetic products provide consumers with safe, reliable, and effective options while ensuring the integrity of the beauty industry.
