Tips for fair skinned people
Tanning refers to the body's response to UV rays. The most sensitive to the sun are people with fair skin. It is very difficult for such people to achieve a beautiful shade on the body, and sometimes it is simply impossible. Even minor sun exposure results in burns or swelling. Observing a number of rules, you can learn how to properly sunbathe with fair skin and get the desired result without harm to health.
- Before you go to sunbathe on the beach, you should prepare yourself so as not to get sunburned. To do this, you can go to the solarium for a week, at least every other day for 3-5 minutes, no more! Your body will be less vulnerable to the sun's rays and your tan will be evenly tanned.
- It should be remembered that the greatest activity of the sun and its negative impact on health is the period from 11.00 to 16.00 hours. Therefore, you need to go to the beach in the morning and after lunch. The first exposure to the sun should be limited to 15 minutes. Since, given the great sensitivity of people with fair skin to the sun, you can burn very quickly. During the week, gradually bring the time for tanning to 2 hours. But you shouldn't be constantly in the sun for these 2 hours, you need to hide from time to time under an umbrella or other shade.
- For a more uniform shade on the body, you need to change the position every 10 minutes. It will be good if you do not lie on the beach all the time, but do something, for example, play volleyball.
- Be sure to apply a high SPF sunscreen to your skin before sunbathing. Carefully study the composition of the cream, it should not contain glycerin and petroleum jelly. These components cause burns when exposed to the sun. Thus, do not save on your health, but choose only protective creams of well-known brands. And yet, on a note to those who go on vacation to Asia or other countries where they will offer coconut oil - rub your body with it, you will only tan faster! Do not rub your body with coconut oil if you are going to sunbathe.
- To avoid sunstroke, be sure to cover your head with a panama or towel before you start sunbathing. Also, in an upright position, the head should be raised. Thus, blood will circulate correctly through the body, which will prevent fainting. Read about first aid for heatstroke.
- You cannot be in or near water for a very long time, as the water departs from the sun and enhances its harmful effect. Apply a protective cream immediately after bathing to moisturize and protect your skin from UV rays. You need to use this cream after every bath.
- After swimming and staying on the beach, be sure to shower and use after-sun products. Sea water is very dry and flaky. Olive oil also nourishes and softens the skin.
Diet for tanning people with fair skin
Proper nutrition plays a very important role in getting a bronze color on your body. To do this, you need to stick to a diet, especially for people with sensitive fair skin. As you know, we get a tan thanks to provitamin A (carotene). It produces the pigment melanin, which is responsible for the appearance of sunburn and protects it from ultraviolet rays. In order for the body to have a sufficient amount of carotene, you need to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits of orange and red shades, it is in such food that a lot of this vitamin is contained. First of all, these are carrots, persimmons, citrus fruits, watermelon, tomatoes, apricots, red bell peppers, etc.
The amino acid tyrosine also gives us beauty and health. It promotes proper metabolism and, when sunburned, will help your body acquire a beautiful chocolate color. Contained in animal liver, sea fish, avocado, beans, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds.
It is also recommended to take a complex of vitamins and minerals for a month before going to the sea, so that your body does not experience a lack of vitamins and positively tolerates exposure to the sun.
With these tips in mind, getting your long-awaited golden skin tone will be easy. You just need to remember that there is a measure for everything and you should not lie on the beach all day, waiting for a perfect tan, and then suffer with burns. You just need to gradually and correctly sunbathe, and a beautiful view is guaranteed to you.
