Discover Tanning Oil and Tan Intensely
Tallow is an iconic sun care product well known to those seeking the perfect tan. Its creamy texture and captivating scent, far removed from a name with often unknown origins, make it a top choice during holidays. Tallow for an intense tan, yes, but is it really for all skin types?
What is tallow?
As its name suggests, tallow is primarily used by farmers who still practice manual milking of their animals. This ointment, applied to the udders of cows or goats, prevents chapping and cracks caused by friction.
But tallow is also a sun care product with a creamy texture, usually presented in a jar. Unlike creams with UV filters, it offers no protection against the sun’s rays. Its sole purpose is to enhance tanning by intensifying it.
Its thicker consistency hydrates the skin, making tallow a product often appreciated for its nourishing and softening effect, ensuring an even, golden, and radiant tan.
How does tanning oil work for tanning?
As a tanning accelerator, tanning oil was very popular in the 1970s. It provided a golden, almost brown tan that was highly sought after. To achieve this, this fatty substance uses what is called the “magnifying glass effect.”
When applied to your skin, tanning oil reflects the sun’s rays. As a result, UV rays penetrate the epidermis much faster, leading to a quicker and deeper coloration of the skin.
So quickly, in fact, that results can sometimes be seen after just a few hours. It’s ideal for coming back with a radiant complexion after just a few days of vacation at the other end of the world.
Vanilla-scented tanning oil, reserved for dark or already tanned skin
However, tanning oil does not protect the skin from UV rays, skin aging, or sunburn. That’s why, most of the time, it is recommended to use it as an after-sun, for its nourishing effect.
Nevertheless, if you have dark skin or are already tanned, tanning oil enriched with Tahitian monoï can be the perfect choice to enhance your complexion and enjoy a unique sensory experience thanks to its vanilla and very gourmand scent.
Fair or sensitive skin types will prefer to protect themselves from the harmful effects of the sun with a protective face and body cream and a protective and moisturizing SPF50 sun milk.
Alternatives to jarred tanning oil, for all skin types
Because Corine de Farme laboratories have always aimed to create healthy hygiene and cosmetic products that respect all skin types, even the most delicate, our sun care range now includes many other products.
Lotions, milks, and sun creams are the most commonly used. Available in different protection levels, all are enriched with moisturizing Tahitian monoï. Sun sprays, meanwhile, are particularly suitable for children. That’s why they are often water- and sweat-resistant.
Finally, balms and sun gels are used after sun exposure for their refreshing effect and the instant relief they provide to overheated skin.
