SUMMER is nearing the end but you can keep your summer tan for longer with an amazing lotion.
The affordable moisturiser will keep your tan from fading as you continue to reminisce about the sunny days.
The lotion has been praised for keeping tan for up to 3 months[/caption]
Australian Gold Moisture Lock Tan Extender is retailing on Amazon website for only £14.
The lotion is packed with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera for a smooth, soft and healthy looking skin.
The ultra-hydrating moisturiser also promises to maintain your tan for longer.
Australian Gold said: “Vitamin E and Native Australian Extracts are specially blended in this moisture-rich after tan formula.
“You’ll love its luxurious, silky feel and fresh, light scent. Moisturised skin tans better and stays tan longer.”
Customers online have been raving about the product with over 16,000 reviews giving it 4.6 stars on average.
One satisfied customer wrote in December: “This is my second bottle, it has kept my skin soft & moisturised and maintained my tan lines from my holiday in September.
“It absorbs easily, isn’t greasy or sticky and has a pleasant light scent. I think it’s excellent value for money.”
Another person wrote: “Great product smells amazing, gives you a long lasting tan.”
A third reviewer said: “Australian Gold is the ‘gold standard’ for natural tanning. It’s more expensive than other products but using this, you will understand why.
“The smell is summer, it’s sweet and lovely. The moisturiser is light and non greasy. It nicely absorbs into the skin. The smell lasts a while.
“My tan lasted a little longer than usual but the after sun effects were just as pleasant. It’s cooling and effective. I’d recommend.”
Australian Gold was founded in 1985 on “the sun-loving lifestyle”, specialising in beach products and selling at surf shops in Florida.
If your natural tan still fades and you want to keep the glow, Boots is selling Dove Summer Revived Light to Medium Gradual Tanning Lotion.
The budget cream aims to give a natural-looking holiday glow, for hardly any effort.
The tanning product works like a normal everyday moisturiser and creates a long-lasting natural tan.
Over time, it builds up to a light to medium colour, but don’t forget to add sun cream over the top to protect your skin.
The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez – known as Dr Dray – revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference – and this matters for all ages – is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
“The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation,” she continued, not because you’re “not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday”.
“If you’re not doing in your 20s, get on that now.”
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn’t go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime – and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days – “will reduce the visible signs of photoageing”, Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
