Many people associate summer vacation with relaxation on the Cote d’Azur in the arms of the sun’s rays. However, when going to a seaside resort in a hot summer, you need to remember not only the beneficial effects of mineral salts and sunlight, but also the dangers of ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, when packing your luggage, it is important not to forget about sunscreens that will help prevent premature skin aging, oncological formations, and also ideally create a luxurious tan.
Preparation of the skin before the beach – a guarantee of a beautiful tan
Sunbathing reveals to the gaze of those around you all the charms and flaws of the body, which needs proper care all year round and special attention in the summer. Therefore, not so much to seduce the surrounding men, but for a decent appearance, preliminary preparation is necessary. However, to put the body in order, it will not take much time or effort.
So, preparing the skin for tanning includes:

removal of dead cells: lifeless epidermis will interfere with the smoothness and uniformity of the tan, so it should be removed with a cosmetic body scrub or plant-based peel; for example, ground apricot pits have exfoliating properties, and lemon peel has a softening effect;

epilation (depilation): of course, before appearing in all its glory, it is necessary to get rid of unwanted vegetation on the legs, in the bikini area and armpits, having done epilation (deep hair removal, including the subcutaneous area) with wax, sugar, laser (you can only sunbathe after 15 days) or depilation (superficial hair removal) with a machine, depilator;

lack of decorative cosmetics: it is on the beach that you can appreciate the natural beauty of a person, because there is no need for makeup, which will cause additional discomfort, as well as in perfumes, which can provoke pigmentation and skin allergies.
In addition, experienced cosmetologists and dermatologists do not recommend washing your face with soap before going out into the sun for a long time, which removes the fat layer and dries the skin, making it defenseless against ultraviolet radiation.
Thus, preparing for the beach is an important stage on the way to beauty, which will not require any sacrifices and complications.

Proper nutrition and behavior on the beach is the key to health skin
A good tan is directly dependent on the production of melanin, a dark pigment found in the skin, hair, and internal organs. Соответственно, от количества и интенсивности его выработки зависит цвет skin и волос человека. Melanin is formed by polymerization of tyrosine oxidation products and, like a filter, absorbs ultraviolet radiation. It is under the influence of sunlight that an increase in the synthesis of melanin is observed, which contributes to tanning.

In other words, if you want to have a gorgeous bronze tan, you need to enrich your daily diet with foods that stimulate the production of melanin at the resort. Experts in the field of health and beauty recommend drinking fresh carrot juice with a few apricots or peaches every time before going to the beach. It is important to include foods high in vitamin B10 in the menu of main meals, which maintains a sufficient level of melanin in the body: carrots, potatoes, spinach, parsley, wholemeal flour and bread, mushrooms. For the full assimilation of melanin, foods containing vitamins are needed: A (cottage cheese, cheese, butter, viburnum, broccoli, kelp), C (citrus fruits, black currant, viburnum, mountain ash, strawberries, peppers), E (sorrel, dried apricots, prunes, nuts, barley, oatmeal, wheat groats, salmon, pike perch). Also, to enhance the production of melanin, tyrosine is indispensable – an aromatic alpha-amino acid that can be found in beans (beans, peas, peanuts, soybeans), egg yolk, and cheese. If your taste preferences do not apply to these products, phytocomplexes will help to fill the lack of vital microelements: “Biorhythm Multivitamins”, “Biorhythm Multivitamins Blister”, “Vitamin for the whole family”. To strengthen the cells, you can drink Calcium Phytobalance, Mountain Calcium shortly before leaving for the sea.
These products of plant and animal origin will only bring benefits, unlike sweets, pastries, chocolate, coffee and alcohol, which are banned because they interfere with the production of melanin. By the way, you should not forget about the liquid on the beach under the scorching sun: it is advisable to drink non-carbonated water, giving up useless sweet carbonated drinks. Because dehydration not only worsens the general state of the body (weakness, malaise, etc.), but it will also make the skin dry.

При склонности к сухости и шелушению необходимо на пляже смазать тело увлажняющим молочком или жирным эфирным маслом – например, «Масло амаранта», (предотвращает воспаление skin), «Масло кунжута» (устраняет сухость skin). А для предупреждения солнечного ожога skin необходимо использовать специальные масла для загара с индексом SPF со степенью защиты от солнца от 2-х до 100 единиц. Маркировка на флаконе указывает время защиты skin от ультрафиолетового воздействия в расчете 1:5 – например, солнцезащитное масло с индексом 15 гарантирует безопасность в течение 75-ти минут пребывания на пляже. After this time, it is enough to re-apply the drug to the skin to strengthen the protective shell.
Simplify the choice of protective cream (oil) and determine the individual burn threshold – the time during which you can sunbathe in the sun without negative consequences. Regardless of the protection index of the product, it is necessary to apply a cream or oil in a thick layer on dry skin 15-20 minutes before going to the beach. In addition, sensitive facial skin needs special protection. In order to avoid not only sunburn, but also premature aging, it is necessary to use face creams: “Green Eye Cream Fluids” (rejuvenates the skin), “Cream Qi-Klim Botoeffect” (removes mimic wrinkles).

If we talk about the optimal time for a natural tan, then scientists advise relying on the period of melanin production, which lasts no more than 50 minutes. However, since the beach is a place not only for healing, but also for resting your soul and body, you can spend a long time on the Cote d’Azur, taking breaks during the hours of sun and radiation – from 11.00 to 15.00. Therefore, the ideal time for a painless tan is before 10 and after 16 hours.
If a vacationer came to the beach without any sunscreen, he can sunbathe for no more than 10 minutes. Prolonged exposure to the sun is completely contraindicated in acute inflammatory processes, bleeding, severe bronchial asthma and complex diseases of the cardiovascular system. In other cases, you can happily go to the beach, armed with sunscreen, which is desirable to store in a cooler bag.

And finally I would like to note that for an even tan, it is advisable to choose not passive rest on the beach (lying on a deck chair, a towel), but activity – walking along the coast, playing volleyball, etc. To return home with a smooth and beautiful tan without skin problems, you need take Vitaderm.
Well, now you are fully armed with the secrets of a perfect tan to resist the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation and get only positive from the sun!
