To tan quickly and perfectly, the dream of so many, a goal at first glance unattainable that in reality with small tricks is possible to achieve.
How to get the perfect tan quickly? There are so many things you can do, from the right foods to body care to mistakes to avoid: here are all the tips for sporting a perfect tan!
1 Preparing the skin for the sun
The first step to consider is preparing the skin for the summer season.
Very often we just smear sunscreen under the umbrella, which is not only a mistake, but is a behavior that generates a number of problems, such as sunburn and erythema.
Gentle scrubs, moisturizing the skin using hyaluronic acid creams and using sunscreen as early as spring exposures prepare the skin to face the strong summer vacation sun with maximum effectiveness and protection.
Skin, however, needs to be cared for both externally and internally by nourishing it with dedicated antioxidant and beta carotene supplements, starting by taking them 3 to 4 months before the vacations. At the same time prefer healthy eating.
We are what we eat

A healthy diet prepares our bodies for the best by allowing us to tan well and fast. Hydration, like nutrients, is very important and must take place both on the skin, with moisturizers and hyaluronic acid creams, and entirely by taking in the right amount of water daily.
2. What to eat to get a quick tan
Nutrition and tanning go hand in hand, but what are the right foods? Okay you know very well that fruits and vegetables are not to be missed, but there are other foods that are pro-suntan, didn’t you know? Well I’m Mrs. Adorable, I’m here to reveal it to you!
I also point you to an article in which I discuss this:
In addition to beta carotene, it is very useful to take the following. Omega 3-containing foods such as walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, flax oil and seeds, chia seeds, avocados, seaweed, small and caught fish. Omega 3s make the skin more elastic and firm, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and promote the formation of melanin the substance responsible for tanning.
3. Perfect tan and clear skin
Fair-skinned people can also achieve an excellent tan but will need much more time and more gradual exposure, always accompanied by sunscreen with a high protection factor.
Avoiding the hottest hours with fair skin is even more important to avoid sunburn and erythema.
In addition to high protection and after-sun cream, if you have fair skin follow all the advice on supplements and nutrition that remain the same dedicated to those with darker complexions.
4. Some tips for prolonging your tan
Nutrition, supplements, months of preparation, we can finally flaunt a killer tan but now a new problem arises: how to avoid losing it in a short time?
With a few small and simple tricks, it is possible to prolong our tan.
I recommend maintaining a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water, showering is preferable to bathing, using gentle moisturizing products, dry yourself by patting your skin instead of rubbing it with a towel, and finally use a moisturizer.
As much as possible avoid air conditioning and prolonged swimming in the pool; chlorine is a sworn enemy of a tan.
Pay attention to preparation and maintenance and you will have a more beautiful and long-lasting tan, Mrs. Adorable’s word.
