As we move into fall, our summer tan will soon be the last thing that reminds us of those sunny days at the pool or beach. Camila Coelho believes radiant golden skin can be worn all year round and not limited to the seasons.
Coelho’s radiant skin might lead you to believe that there is no way to get a similar tan look to her. You can either jet set to the same destination as she last visited or have luck with the same olive color. Toned skin. Although it is true that she has a Brazilian, Spanish, and Italian heritage, which makes her prefer a golden tan to a lobster-red look, she still has a few tricks in her arsenal to get and keep the perfect sun-kissed skin. They are very useful for anyone looking to extend their summer tans.
Do not be afraid to apply self-tanner.
Coelho considers tanning an integral part of his life. It’s not only my face but my entire body. It’s something that I do,” Coelho told L’OFFCIEL. It’s easy to appear tanned in the summer. A natural tan can be achieved by going to the beach. But, during the fall, I love self-tanners and body shimmers.
Beauty guru and a big believer in sun protection. She often self-tan at home to improve her color. She loves to use bronze mousses and recommends that you try different brands to find the best one for your skin. Coelho stresses the importance of preparing your skin before applying the product.
Coelho advises, “Make sure you are ready to use the product.” First, rub your skin, then moisturize it. Then, make your mousse. Apply it using a glove to prevent streaks. For extra maintenance, you can apply a gradual bronzer as a lotion to your body as often as needed. This will help maintain the desired tone.
Coelho likes to make a homemade body glow by mixing a shimmery loose bronze powder with lotion. You don’t need to be tanned to get an instant glow.
Tan responsibly.
Coelho uses SPF everywhere he goes when he is out in the sun. Coelho recommends SPF as a way to get a healthy tan. She shares that SPF will make your tan last longer, from summer to fall and winter.
Coelho also stresses the importance of hydration. After being out in the sun, you should drink enough water. A shower, followed by moisturizing with a lotion afterward, will keep your skin hydrated.
The influencer uses SkinCeuticals SPF for her face. She says it is light and can be used as a layer to makeup.
You should ensure that your tan is evenly distributed.
Although this may seem obvious, it is possible for some parts of your body to appear darker than others due to uneven SPF application or sun exposure. Coelho says that his face is often paler because he takes care to keep it out of direct sunlight. Coelho created Elaluz Overnight Face Glow, which contains just a little bit of self-tanner to give her naturally radiant skin a natural glow. It is one of Coelho’s favorite products and a regular part of her routine.
To contour and highlight, use bronzer
Coelho is happy to help you enhance your summer tan, no matter what style you choose. Coelho says contouring the face before applying foundation is a great trick, especially for those who aren’t afraid to contour. This technique was taught to him by Mary Phillips, an MUA professional. It gives a smoother finish than contouring after foundation. “You don’t look contoured, but you do look flushed,” confirms Coelho.
Coelho also has a standout product from Elaluz. Stick bronzer with Camu Camu is easy to use and blends well with any makeup. Stick bronzers are out of stock (with limited colors available at Ulta, and a replenishment scheduled for September). They can be used as a finishing touch to Coelho’s tanning regimen.
She says, “I love applying it at the highest points on my body: the tops my shoulders, bone in my upper chest and even my shins.” Coelho suggests moisturizing your skin first, then applying the stick. This will ensure that your skin is hydrated and radiant. You will look like a goddess of gold.
