Unfortunately, most of us can't spend the whole summer on the beach, but you can achieve a tanned shade all summer long. Here's how to keep your bronze tan as long as possible.

1. First of all, moisturize your skin abundantly. The more moist the skin is, the longer you will keep your bronze tan, so treat it with a moisturizer after every shower.

2. Speaking of showering, the water temperature should not be too high. Hot water dries the skin, and with it, the color washes off faster. So shower with lukewarm water.

3. Try skin care oils, such as almond oil. It is best if you apply it gently on damp skin after showering. Do not get dressed until the skin absorbs it.

4. Avoid too frequent use of shower gels because they dry out the skin, and choose those whose pH is as close as possible to the skin's natural pH.

5. Do not rub the skin, but gently pat the excess moisture from the body with a towel.

6. Eat foods rich in beta carotene, such as melons and carrots, or take vitamin B capsules, which will not only maintain the color of your complexion, but also have an anti-aging effect.

7. Drink water because no matter how hard you try to keep your tan skin moist from the outside, you won't get a good result if you don't hydrate it from the inside, reports Grazia.
