Do you mean that moment when you come back from the beach and others tell you, "what if you didn't get any color at all"? We understand how you feel, as you are not the only ones who "suffer" from the lack of skin pigment.
Light-skinned people, as they are also known as "white-skinned", should follow these tips to tan faster from the sun, but in a healthy way.
1. Eat fruit
To speed up a golden tan everything starts from within. You should consume large amounts of fruits and foods rich in vitamin D and A, such as apricots, fish and mangoes, which help stimulate melanin and then tan better and faster.
2. Sunbathe with sea water
Take frequent sea water baths at regular intervals as it can help tan your skin. Precisely because sea salt attracts light to the skin. Of course you should apply a generous dose of sunscreen before entering the water.
3. Sunbathe with the reflections of light in the water
At the beach or swimming pool, the sun reflects on the surface of the water, which accelerates the tanning of our skin. You can also stand in the sun near the sea or the pool, so that the reflection of the sun in the water promotes the tanning of your skin.
For more efficient tanning, you can also use towels that are made of a special fiber that reflects the sun's rays. Always use SPF all over your body!
4. Movement in the sun
Doing physical activity improves circulation and good blood circulation stimulates melanin in the skin, enabling us to get a quick and lasting tan. Avoid the hot hours for a walk on the beach. You can do diving, yoga, beach volleyball and other outdoor exercises.
5. Always keep the skin hydrated
Even when you have reached a certain degree of tan it is important to keep the skin nourished and hydrated.
