After spending entire days in the office or at home, you'll want to add some color to that pale complexion. Do you dream of the perfect tan without damaging your skin? Before you pack your bags for your next vacation by the ocean, prepare your body with a few simple steps that will help you to enjoy the sun without damaging your skin and to return home with an enviable tan. One week before tanning, eat foods rich in beta-Carotene like carrot, peach, mango, papaya and tomato to help protect your skin from the sun and to stimulate melanin production, which is what gives skin its color.
Since you'll be exposed to heat, your skin will begin to dehydrate. Make sure to protect and hydrate the skin by eating fruits and veggies rich in vitamin C like oranges, red bell pepper, berries, broccoli, kiwi, cranberry and others.
Drink water before, during and after a sunny day at the beach to stay cool and hydrated throughout your vacation.
Now you know how to get an amazing tan while enjoying the sun! Get ready to visit some of the most popularbeach destinations in Mexico like Acapulco, Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Huatulco and Puerto Vallarta. The next step is deciding where to go. |
