Preparing your skin for the sun: which tanning capsule should you choose?
First of all, why go for skin food supplements ?
When we talk about tanning, about preparing our skin not to blush, we're talking about our melanocytes. These little melanin-producing cells.
Melanin is the pigment responsible for coloring our skin (and hair). The more melanin we produce, the darker our complexion. The arrival of the first Uva and Uvb rays on our skin stimulates our melanocytes, which secrete melanin to pigment our skin.
When you bronze When you're fair-skinned, or have gone a whole year without exposure to the sun, your skin isn't used to the rays. As a result, by the time we get to the beach, it takes several days to get a golden glow, or we end up with an ugly tan. sunburns. Preparing sun-sensitive skin is an important pre-summer gesture.
The key is to stimulate melanocytes in advance, so that they naturally pigment our skin before exposure, thus reducing the risk of redness. If your skin is already lightly tanned and prepared, you'll tan faster and last longer.

As well as dietary supplements for the skin, it's also important to care for it with topical treatments. We can't stress this enough: internal and external care must complement each other.
