To speed up tanning it is recommended to increase the consumption of foods rich in beta-carotene, which is a substance present in some foods that, in addition to improving the immune system, is able to stimulate the production of melanin, improving tanning.
A good homemade option to accelerate your tan is through the consumption of fruit juice rich in beta-carotene, such as carrots, mangoes and oranges. The consumption of juice and the use of other homemade options must be accompanied by the use of sunscreen and avoid being exposed to the sun for a long time, as it can burn the skin.
