Although this summer has been one of the most cloudy in years, we hope you at least managed to get some sun and a light tan. As the beauty department of The Fashion Vibes says, you should not be upset that you did not bask in the scorching sun this summer, in the future this “lost” will positively affect the budget. After all, you do not need to run to beauticians to get rid of age spots. But it’s not about that now.
We share life tips with those who do not lose hope for a beautiful chocolate tan. First, never forget about SPF products. They will protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun. Second, add a few foods that contain carotenoids — natural pigments in orange, red or yellow hues — to your diet. It will not only contribute to a beautiful tan, but also protect the skin from the negative effects of sunlight and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Angelina Vodolazka, endocrinologist-nutritionist and clinical nutritionist, tells about what to add to the dish to achieve a lasting chocolate tan.

Spinach. The number one superfood for a radiant tan. It is rich in carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These organic pigments protect the cells that make up the pigment. Lutein and zeaxanthin also contribute to a more even distribution of pigment in the skin. You need 200-300 grams of spinach to meet the daily need for carotenoids.
Carrot. A source of β-carotene, a natural antioxidant that truly reduces signs of aging and warms tanned skin. The high content of carotenoids in carrots not only gives the skin a golden hue, but also protects it from the negative effects of sunlight. It is enough to consume one medium-sized carrot a day.
Avocado. A product with a rich and varied nutritional composition. Healthy fats contain a wide variety of vitamins, including fat-soluble vitamins E and A, and minerals. In turn, they have great potential in the fight against skin damage from ultraviolet radiation. In regular consumption, it is recommended to limit yourself to one avocado per day.
Eggs. One hundred grams of eggs meet the body’s daily requirement of L-tyrosine amino acids. Studies show that adequate saturation of the body contributes to an increase in the content of pigment in the skin. This provides a longer lasting tan.
Broccoli. A glass of broccoli contains twice as much vitamin C as a whole lemon. It is important to increase collagen production. The combination of carotenoids and vitamin C found in broccoli improves skin color and function, making this vegetable another way to achieve a beautiful tan.
salmon atlantic. The product is rich in valuable omega fatty acids and contains astaxanine, a powerful antioxidant. It helps retain moisture in the skin, improves cellular respiration and collagen synthesis, and strengthens blood vessels.. All this contributes to a homogeneous and long-lasting tan.
Tomatoes. A vegetable containing lycopene. This carotenoid absorbs type A and B ultraviolet rays. And after exposure to sunlight, it can completely reduce the intensity of skin flushing.
