How do you keep your skin tanned almost all year round? There are women who manage to keep a beautiful golden skin colour for months on end. What are their secrets?
Getting a good tan rather than a spring is a marathon. You must gradually stimulate the production of melanin in your skin and this involves making certain adjustments to our eating and skincare routines.
How diet affects our tan
When it comes to food, we advise you to include foods that are rich in beta-carotene as it is involved in the tanning process and increases the production of melanin. Variations in the concentration of this protein mean that every human being has a different skin colour.
On the other hand, foods rich in vitamins B or E prevent dehydration and flaking. They also protect the skin and prolong the tan.
Thus, thedieting to get a tan perfect includes the following foods:
- With beta-carotene: Carrots, spinach, watercress, peppers, pumpkin, melon, broccoli, orange, tangerine, papaya, green beans, tomatoes...
- With Vitamin BPeas, nuts, lentils, peanuts, peanuts...
- With Vitamin E: Almonds, hazelnuts, tomatoes, avocado, sunflower seeds, spinach...
Our advice: every day in the morning, drink a fresh fruit juice plus one of the above-mentioned foods that you find compatible. This will prepare your skin for the sun's rays throughout the day.
The importance of exfoliation
Women with a beautiful tan know the importance of skin exfoliation. At Soivre we have formulated several exfoliating gels with natural 100% microparticles with skin cleansing and regenerating properties.
For best results in exfoliation we recommend that you consult this article where we explain the procedure step by step.
Alternatives for tanning and sun protection
Something essential to achieve a long-lasting, homogeneous and healthy tan is the application of a sunscreen that is suitable for our skin type. Sunscreens allow us to sunbathe without the risk of sunburn and keep our skin moisturised. And not only that, remember the following: using sunscreen 30 minutes before leaving the house and renewing it every two hours during exposure is key to achieving a healthy tan.
In addition to the photoprotector, the creams you apply after the process must have antioxidant and moisturising properties, as this is the only way to effectively repair the possible damage caused by solar radiation. Creams or gels with aloe vera are ideal for these "after-sun" moments. On the other hand, for after sunbathing we also recommend the following our facial and body range formulated with Panthenol: this component guarantees a intensive repair, long-lasting moisturisation and immediate relief for skin after sun exposure.

One last recommendation in terms of photoprotection: apply sticks sunscreens to effectively protect the most sensitive areas The high protection sticks include physical and chemical barriers, such as for eyelids, lips, eye contours, and to cover scars and tattoos that we do not want to darken or change colour. These high protection sticks include both physical and chemical barriers. That's why they are so effective, even if you dare to sunbathe between 12:00 and 16:00, the forbidden time to expose yourself to the sun.
The importance of hydration
Did you know that proper hydration keeps your skin tanned? We insist: moisturisers help you to get an even tan and maintain it. You can use deep moisturising treatments, Massage your body with body oils and apply moisturising creams several times a day.
The aloe veraThis natural oil, which is included in several of our facial and body creams, has soothing, refreshing and other benefits that we advise you to consult in this article: Benefits of pure aloe vera.
Progressive sun exposure
Even if you're in a hurry to get a tan, avoid quick tans at all costs. Healthy, progressive sun exposure translates into a longer lasting tan in the long run. and, most importantly, skin-friendly.
You can start by sunbathing with 10 minutes every day while doing some activity. such as: jogging, yoga, cycling, gardening. In these cases, wear comfortable, open clothing and don't forget to use sunscreen.
