Foods that enhance and prolong the tan, what are they?

To know what types of foods you should select, you should only take into account those that are rich in carotenoids . Carotenoids is a natural pigment that some foods carry, and that activates melanin. In addition, thanks to its antioxidant power, your skin will have greater strength against sun damage.

The star food with carotene is carrots. Therefore, they cannot be missing from your diet to show off a splendid tan. In addition to the carrot, we recommend:

Spinach
Tomato
Pumpkin
Grelos
Cherries
Papaya
Parsley
Apricot
Chard
Melon
Orange juice
Nectarines
Red pepper
Mango
Peach
Sweet potato

All that food that is green, orange or red leaf, put it in the shopping basket!

Other tips to maintain your tan:

Beyond a diet that helps us activate and enhance tanning, there are two other important phases:

1. Protect ourselves well when we are exposed to the sun's rays with the correct sun protection .
2. Hydrate the skin well after showering.
3. Staying hydrated internally is also paramount. Drink a lot of water.
4. If you are looking for immediate results, start adapting your diet two weeks before you start sunbathing.
5. Supplement your diet with foods rich in Vitamin C , such as kiwi and strawberry, or vegetables such as broccoli. These foods help the formation of collagen.
6. And don't forget foods rich in Vitamin E , such as extra virgin olive oil and avocado, which protect against sunburn.
