Sun Kissed Without the Saggy Skin
Everybody wants to be tan, bronzed, and glowy without the damaging effects that the sun causes. The sun is very powerful and necessary but too much sun exposure can be harmful to the skin. The good news is you can still achieve a sun kissed look without the risk of wrinkles and skin cancer.
How the Sun Creates Sagging Skin
While sun exposure may give you a bronzed complexion, it comes at a cost. Ultraviolet (UV) rays break down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Over time, this damage can result in sagging skin, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is essential for maintaining a youthful appearance, and opting for sunless tanning is a safer alternative that will keep you looking youthful for longer.

Chemicals in Most Sunless Tanners
Not all sunless tanning products are created equal. Most of the standard self-tanners contain a variety of chemicals, such as synthetic dyes and fragrances, which can irritate the skin and lead to uneven results. Being aware of what’s in your tanning products can help you make safer choices for your skin and body.
Chemical-Free Products
At Med 44 Arcadia, we offer chemical-free sunless tanning options. Purchasing products that use natural ingredients that are free from harmful additives is extremely beneficial. Many clean self tanners are formulated with skin-loving ingredients like aloe vera and botanical extracts which protect, hydrate, and nourish the skin.

Skincare Products to Improve Your Glow
To achieve the best results from your self tanner, consider incorporating skincare products that enhance your glow and make your tan last longer.
Dry Brushing: Dry brushing before applying self-tanner helps exfoliate dead skin cells, creating a smoother surface for an even, long-lasting tan. It also boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage, enhancing your skin’s natural radiance.
ZO Chemical Exfoliation: Using a chemical exfoliant like ZO’s Enzymatic Peel can dissolve dull, dead skin, ensuring a more even tan application. Regular exfoliation also helps extend the life of your sunless tan by preventing patchiness and buildup.
