To achieve a tanned complexion in record time, a Brazilian woman shares the secret that has transformed her summer routine since adolescence.
When it comes to mastering the art of sunbathing, Brazilian women have a head start. Synonymous with fine sandy beaches, radiant sunshine and breathtaking golden complexions, Rio de Janeiro’s beauty habits inspire the whole world.
While many are using miracle lotions or artificial UV treatments to the detriment of their skin health, a young woman has decided to reveal her secret on Instagram. His technique for a quick and luminous tan? She doesn’t owe it to any overpriced cream. It’s a very simple reflex that she has faithfully repeated since she was a teenager.
We often make the mistake of thinking that getting a tan is just about sunscreen and exposure. However, our skin’s ability to brown depends directly on a natural pigment: melanin. It is what colors the skin to protect it from UV rays. To boost this melanin production, the most effective secret of Brazilian women is not applied to the skin… it is drunk! Preparing your body by providing it with the right nutrients not only allows you to tan much faster, but also allows that tanned complexion to last for weeks after returning from vacation.
So what is this famous reflex that this Brazilian woman has applied since she was very young? This is a 100% natural homemade juice, a real cocktail of vitamins designed to awaken the skin’s pigments. There we find carrot: undisputed champion of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant which directly stimulates the production of melanin and immediately gives a healthy glow, beetroot: rich in vitamins and natural pigments, it purifies the body and brings a golden and radiant shade to the tan, avoiding an overly orange complexion, and finally, orange: full of vitamin C, it boosts the radiance of the skin and protects it against cellular aging caused by the sun.
For the trick to work to its maximum potential, consistency is key. Our Brazilian advises integrating this drink into your habits from the first sunny days. Drink this fresh juice 2 to 3 times a week and ideally consume it in the morning or a few hours before going to the beach, sun or swimming pool. By nourishing your cells from the inside just before exposure, you give your skin all the weapons it needs to instantly color with the slightest ray of sunlight.
Remember that this magic juice boosts your melanin from the inside, but it in no way replaces your sunscreen: high SPF protection remains essential for each exposure to protect your skin from UV rays. By combining this Brazilian secret with good sun protection, you will obtain a quick, intense and above all healthy-looking tan!
