To show off a pretty tanned complexion this summer and tan more quickly , certain methods have proven themselves, such as hair gummies , an effective organic food supplement ! In this article you will find some valuable tips for tanning more quickly, safely and without risk for your skin. You will be able to enjoy the benefits of the sun with complete peace of mind.
Warning: too long exposure to the sun represents a high risk for the skin. UVA rays accelerate skin aging, and UVB rays are generally the major causes of sunburn. Stay vigilant if you want to tan without harmful effects on your skin !
Use a self-tanner 🍊
Rather than exposing yourself excessively to the sun, opt for some appropriate cosmetic products that will speed up your tan safely!
Self-tanners are cosmetic products that allow you to get a tan without exposing yourself to the sun's harmful UV rays. They are made up of two active ingredients with recognized virtues:
DHA (dihydroxyacetone): this is the main tanning agent contained in self-tanners. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with amino acids present in the upper layer of the epidermis to create a brown pigment called melanoidin. Be careful, this active ingredient can have drying effects on the skin. It is therefore advisable to favor self-tanners enriched with moisturizing and soothing components to minimize this effect.
-
Erythrulose: This tanning agent is often used in combination with DHA to improve and prolong the effect of tanning. Erythrulose reacts similarly to DHA by producing a chemical reaction with amino acids in the skin, resulting in a brown color. Using these two active ingredients in a self-tanner can provide a more even and natural tan.
Warning: self-tanner does not in any way protect the skin from the effects of the sun. It is therefore essential to apply sunscreen before exposure to the sun.
For people suffering from heart problems, it is recommended to use self-tanner wipes or cream to achieve effective effects without putting yourself in danger.
Exfoliate before exposure to the sun 🧖🏽♀️
Thorough exfoliation before exposure to the sun is an essential precaution to prepare your skin. By eliminating dead cells, you will improve the effects of the sun on your skin.
Prepare your skin by exfoliating once a week for a month. You will quickly see the effects and will be able to tan faster !
Applying an exfoliating product is very simple: make small circular movements going towards the outside of the face. Avoid cheekbones and areas of dark circles under the eyes, which are fragile areas.
Did you get a nice tan after your vacation and want to maintain it? Regular exfoliation will brighten your skin and revive your complexion. In fact, exfoliation stimulates blood circulation, which promotes cell regeneration. This helps maintain your tan by extending the life of the tanned cells in your skin.
Use sunscreen 🧴
Essential, sunscreen allows you to be exposed to the sun more peacefully. Its application is essential, but should not prevent taking precautions:
Avoid exposure to the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when the sun's rays are most intense;
Favor shaded areas to reduce your direct exposure to the sun;
Avoid prolonged exposure, especially at the start of your stay when your skin has not been exposed for a significant period. It is best to start with shorter sessions to allow your skin to gradually adjust.
It's up to you to select the index that seems best suited to your skin type. The most common indices are 15, 30, 50 or more. Lighter or sensitive skin generally requires a higher SPF for optimal protection. It is advisable to reapply sunscreen every two hours at least, especially after sweating, swimming or drying yourself with a towel.
Hydrate after exposure to the sun 💦
The sun has drying effects on the skin and dehydrates the body very quickly. Maybe you've had the experience of spending a whole day off at the beach and coming home tired? This sensation is a consequence of the dehydrating effect of the sun.
To avoid suffering its effects and tan without harming your skin, it is recommended to drink regularly. Water helps compensate for fluid loss from sweating and prevent dehydration.
You can also favor watery fruits and vegetables to increase your fluid intake. Foods like watermelon, melon, grapes, tomatoes and carrots are rich in water and help maintain optimal hydration. In addition to internal hydration, don't forget to apply a moisturizer to your skin after exposure to the sun!
Choosing effective foods for tanning 🥕
To benefit from the beneficial effects of the sun while protecting your body, it is recommended to favor a few specific foods:
-
Seasonal fruits are generally rich in beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. For example, you can eat carrots without moderation, which are particularly rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene. Furthermore, carrots are also a vegetable rich in water, which promotes skin hydration.
Spinach and chicory contain a high amount of vitamin A. Spinach provides an added benefit; they are rich in lutein, a vitamin effective in protecting the eyes from the sun's rays.
Peppers have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and are also very rich in vitamin A. They are therefore an excellent ally to protect your body from the harmful effects of the sun. Excellent summer vegetables, they can be enjoyed in salads or in other dishes!
-
Tomatoes are also rich in carotenoids, making them beneficial for tanning. Opt for ripe, brightly colored tomatoes for an optimal tan.
