Tired of your white, pale skin? How to speed up your tan naturally? To enjoy a pretty chocolate complexion, you must first prepare and protect the skin. For this purpose, exfoliate the body to remove dead skin cells and unify the complexion. Here is the recipe to try!
For gentle exfoliation and a quick tan, you need:
- 1 ea. ground almonds
- 1 ea. honey
Mix the two ingredients until you get a smooth scrub. Apply to clean skin and massage gently for a few minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Once exfoliated, the body must be hydrated. So, use and overuse body butter or moisturizer to nourish the skin and speed up the tan.
Aloe vera and coconut
Before, during and after exposure, you moisturize your skin in order to protect yourself from the sun, but also to stimulate the production of melanin. So why not prepare your own moisturizer rich in vitamins and polysaccharides?
- 2.5ml aloe vera gel
- 5ml coconut
- 5 drops of vitamin E
- 30ml purified water
- 5 g of emulsifying wax
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix the aloe vera gel, vegetable oil and vitamin E. Melt the wax in a double boiler, then dial it into the bowl. Mix. Brush your whole body with the resulting cream before, during and after exposure.
Carrots and other foods high in beta-carotene
The beautiful tan is on your plate! In addition to carrot juice, consuming fruits and vegetables rich in beta-carotene also helps to tan quickly. Some of these foods include peaches, sweet potatoes, red peppers, melon, broccoli, spinach, kale, mango, goji berries, and parsley. In cold soup, summer salad or morning smoothie, they are the key to a lasting tanned complexion. Same for the eggs. Rich in vitamin A, they boost the production of melanin and thus the tan. As for food supplements, they are also a good way to tan during the summer. However, these little capsules aren’t just for getting a nice tan. Indeed, they make it possible to bring to the body all that it lacks to fight against sunburn. Of course, that doesn’t leave the door open to exposure without sunscreen.
The only factor that activates the production of melanin (therefore tanning) is exposure to the sun. That’s why, once the holidays are over, the countdown begins. Within two weeks, the skin loses the excess of this natural pigment. Our complexion then becomes duller. The solution to make your tan last: the homemade body scrub ! Essential to every beauty routine, it smoothes and refines the superficial part of the skin thickened by the summer sun. Once rid of this untimely film, the skin shines again! After a “new skin” session, it’s time forhydration in order to preserve the attractive color of the summer. We therefore opt for a usual moisturizer by adding a few drops ofcarrot oil or a bit of pure cocoa powder. Healthy glow effect guaranteed!
