The summer has passed, the sunny day is declining, and we will soon be able to catch the sun's rays only on weekends, when there is no need to sit in stuffy offices from early morning until late at night.

Ways to preserve sunburn
It turns out that there are several common ways that tell how to keep a tan longer.

Dry skin is prone to peeling, that is, the cells of the upper layer of the epithelium die very quickly and are updated. A pigment, acquired by the skin during sunburn, is just in the upper layers of the skin. The faster the skin is refreshed, the faster the tan goes. Therefore, moisturizing the skin contributes to the timely renewal of the skin and prevents the premature disappearance of sunburn.
