Beauty tips: prepare your skin well in the sun

Bet on a diet rich in beta-carotene and vitamins

Tomatoes, carrots, green vegetables, apricots ... bring a lot of beta carotene to the body which stimulates the synthesis of melanin (our pigment protection against UV rays) and helps you better protect yourself from sunburn. Your tan will be even more golden!
UV, however, promote the aging of the skin and nothing to prevent that antioxidants!
Eat fruits at every meal because they are full of vitamin C. To fill up on vitamin E, vegetable oils and cereals are perfect. Oily fish contain a lot of vitamin A, known for its protective properties of the skin.

Boost your skin with dietary supplements
Take a course of food supplements for one to two months before exposure.
One tablet a day is enough to give you the essential fatty acids, which will prevent your skin from drying out, and the vitamins that will help you preserve the youth capital of your skin. However, solar food supplements do not provide sun protection adapted to your skin type once you are at the beach ...

Get a new look before the show
Exfoliate your skin, both body and face, with a scrub once a week, one month before exposure. Massage on wet skin or directly on dry skin, the exfoliating effect will be more intense. Getting rid of dead cells and impurities, your skin will tan much better and evenly.
But do not abuse scrubs because if you do too much you will eliminate the hydrolipidic film that protects your skin and dry it!
Our advice: to keep your skin well hydrated, consider applying a moisturizing cream or oil after each scrub.
