Whether it is for the short time available or because some areas of the body are more reluctant than others to take on color than others, such as the legs, these little tips will be essential when sun exposure.
Prepare your skin for the sun
The first step, of course, concerns the preparation of the skin for the arrival of the sun, which must be done not only in summer, but all year round. For example, add a scrub to your bodycare routine, whether it’s homemade or not, at least once a week. Do not forget, then, to continue this routine even under the sun: the cell renewal it will improve and prolong your tan.
Also, don’t forget to moisturize the skin thoroughly with creams, oils or butters ad hoc. A hydrated skin, with the right lipid layer and the correct supply of water, will tend to dry out less and will be healthier and more golden after exposure. Always add a rich after-sun after a day in the sun to restore the skin to the right state of hydration and thus avoid leaving it thirsty.
Choose the right sunscreen
The time has come to break down old sayings and prejudices: with sunscreen you get tanned, and how, but you have to choose the right protection factor.
In fact, in the first days, never give upSPF 50 (or 30 if you have a very dark phototype) this will allow you to prepare the skin for subsequent exposures without a first initial trauma, thus avoiding rashes and burns. Only in this way will your skin be able to enjoy the tan for a long time and accelerate the process.
The power supply
Having a good diet and nutrition is also ideal for those who want a faster and safer tan. The most important thing, of course, is to add foods rich in beta-carotene which, in addition to being an excellent one antioxidant and capable of counteracting the onset of radicals free, and is a primary source of vitamin A, which has beneficial effects on eyesight and skin.
THE main foods source of carotene to be assumed are:
- apricots;
- watermelon;
- melon;
- Red peppers;
- carrots;
- pumpkin;
- tomatoes;
- sweet potato;
- khaki;
- oranges;
- green leafy vegetables (chard, spinach, chicory, lettuce, cabbage and broccoli).
The supplements for tanning
A real e own boost for the skin and to accelerate tanning is to insert, about a month before prolonged exposure, is inside the supplements. To be taken orally, according to the methods and dosages of each product, these capsules are real concentrates of vitamins and essential elements to protect the skin and make tanning even more pleasant.

Tanning activators and accelerators

These products, which can be used both on the body and on the face, have alocal action and must be applied in conjunction with exposure to sunlight.
But when to apply the activator? And should sunscreen be applied? The answer is easier than you think: the activator must always be combined with an SPF in line with the skin and its phototype and must be put before protection.
