Nuxe Gradual Tanning Lotion Review: If Fake Tan Always Dries Your Skin Out, Then Give This One a Whirl

I get it – there are so many downsides to fake tan. There’s the biscuit-tin smell, and the high-to-certain bedsheet-stain risk.

Then there’s the way it actually looks: unless you've honed superior application skills, chances are you’re going to end up with a bright-white streak at the back of your legs, and cakey orange bits clinging to your elbows.

Nasveti in lepotni triki

Izdelek za zaščito kože pred soncem je potrebno nanašati cel dan, približno na vsaki dve uri, in po vsakem kopanju. Med 11. in 16. uro se soncu izogibajte.

Cilj glamurozne linije NUXE Sun je dosežen, ko zaščita pred soncem ne predstavlja več nuje, temveč glamurozen lepotni ritual popolnega užitka in lepote.

Ko UV žarki prodrejo v kožo, aktivirajo melanocite – celice, ki tvorijo kožni pigment melanin, koža pa porjavi.

Gre za samoobrambno delovanje kože, saj melanin lahko prefiltrira UV žarke in tako odigra pomembno vlogo pri zaščiti pred soncem (zato se porjavela koža bolje upira soncu).

Vendar ta naravna zaščita poleti ne zadostuje. Potrebno je uporabiti izdelek za zaščito pred soncem ter upoštevati navodila za uporabo.

Ko je koža preveč izpostavljena UV žarkom, na njej nastanejo sončne opekline.

UV žarki lahko kožo poškodujejo še preden pride do vidnih opeklin, in sicer poškodujejo njene sestavne dele, s čimer se pospeši prezgodnje staranje kože.

Prekomerno sončenje je nevarno za zdravje. Če se zaščitite s primernim izdelkom, ki ustreza fototipu vaše kože, in če upoštevate navodila za uporabo, bo koža nepoškodovana in zaščitena pred sončnimi žarki.

Vaša koža se bo tako ovila v sijočo porjavelost, ki bo trajla dlje časa.

Kateri zaščitni faktor (spf) je primeren za mojo kožo? Kako naj izberem ustrezen izdelek za zaščito pred soncem?

Če želite izbrati primeren izdelek za zaščito kože pred soncem, morate upoštevati svoj tip kože (to imenujemo fototip kože) in moč sonca.

Če je vaša koža svetla in jo sonce zlahka opeče, ali če se nahajate na krajih, kjer je sonce zelo močno (tropi, čoln, gore), morate uporabljati izdelek z visokim SPF (30, 50 ali 50+).

V normalnih pogojih že SPF 30 nudi odlično zaščito. V standardnih testnih pogojih SPF 30 zaustavi kar 97 % UVB, medtem ko jih SPF 50 zaustavi 98 %.

Nuxe gradual tanning lotion: my review

Fresh from Nuxe’s new summer collection, the Hydrating Enhancing Self-Tan is here to help you finally get a handle on that faux glow.

It looks just like a thick, luxurious body cream in the tube, (and thankfully, it smells like one too). Simply apply it all-over, and your colour will develop within two hours, while the deep-hydrating feeling will last for hours, easily rivalling your fave body cream.

You can slather it on daily until you’ve achieved your ideal level of bronze, but I actually found that just one Sunday-afternoon application gave me the most flattering glow that lasted a whole week.

Unsurprisingly, from the brand that brought us the iconic Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil, it smells incredible, so not only will you not smell of biscuits (always a bonus), but you can go without perfume, too.

What’s more, it’s so hydrating that you won’t need to prep your scaly elbows and ankles with a separate cream before diving in. In fact, you won’t need a mitt, a glove, or any other faffy prep products at all.

So if you’re looking to finally master the art of self-tanning, let this brilliant bronzing body cream do all the hard work for you. And the very best part? It costs just £16.

Now you've sorted your glow, discover the one cult hair restorer that fixed my seriously damaged hair, and the face wash for acne that I can't go without.
