After Sun Aloes

One of the "secrets" to getting and maintaining a great tan is keeping your skin hydrated.

It is vitally important as to the product you use in the sun and our primary tanning formulas, Browning Formula and Browning Formula SPF 5 Creme, are the best to enhance your tan while enjoying the great outdoors.

Even more important is what you do after sun exposure and everyday to keep skin moisturized, healthy and vibrant.  That is the difference between a tan that will fade and "flake" and smooth, silky skin that can keep its golden color for weeks, not days.

With that fact in mind, Maui Island Secret developed our non-parallel after sun aloes years ago, based on the exacting demands of Maui residents who have spent decades on the beautiful beaches, enjoying the tropical sun of the islands and who enjoy a great, deep, dark tan.

Our Burn-to-Brown aloe gel is the ultimate recovery product.  If you get a little too much sun, this is the first step to repairing the damage.  Its pure aloe is derived only from the gel portion of the plant, not the thick, heavy cactus skin which has no medical benefits and unfortunately is what most companies use.  B-to-B also includes menthol, tea tree oil, green tea extract, maui coffee extract.  Excellent, of course, for sunburn, Burn-to-Brown is also great for skin rashes, shaving irritation, kitchen burns, insect bites and jellyfish stings.

Our renown Tan Sealer is the most important product to use to help speed along your tanning process and is paramount for daily use to keep skin hydrated.  Generous amounts of healing aloe and the super anti-oxidant, Green Tea, as well as a touch of Coffee, provide the main benefits to heal and nourish the skin. Also includes sunflower oil, rose hips oil, shea butter, passion flower oil, vitamin E and maui coffee extract to name a few.

Proper use of the product is vitally important.  After sun exposure, you should first take a warm shower to open the pores of the skin and bring the heat in your body to the skin's surface, then pat yourself dry (no vigorous towel drying, please)' followed by smoothing the product slowly and evenly over the skin.  Do not rub it quickly into the skin as that can negate the benefits.  You will see that it will sink into the skin and after about 60seconds if any remains on the surface, then put it gently into the skin.  Neither product will stain clothing.

If you got too much sun, Burn-to-Brown should be used first followed by Tan Sealer.  For daily maintenance, Tan Sealer is the choice.  Word of caution ... Like all real Pure Aloes, Burn-to-Brown is an astringent and although it is nature's best healer, it can dry the skin; always use Tan Sealer after using Burn-to-Brown.

Follow the easy steps above and get ready to enjoy the sun safely and have beautiful youthful skin forever!
