How to tan when you have white skin?
That's it ! It's summer, the holidays, we're going on vacation! We're about to sing about shellfish, crustaceans and... sunburn. Whoops. With your clear skin, you are apprehensive of having redness from the first exposure.
When you tan when you are white, it can quickly be a nightmare for some and some. Don't worry, as always, D-LAB gives you its precious advice to tell you that yes yes: you tan when you are white.
Going bronze when you are white is a utopia for some people. Yet it is possible. It takes several steps: preparing your skin for the summer before exposure, protecting it during, and moisturizing it afterwards.
Before presenting these steps to you in detail, let's take a look at the skin and the tanning mechanism. When we tan when we are white, we activate the pigmentation of the skin via the melanocytes, which are our cells that produce melanin: the pigment responsible for the coloring of the skin.
Tanning is actually a defense mechanism of the skin. When the skin receives UV rays on it, it defends itself by secreting melanin.
It is this increased production of melanin that colors our skin more intensely than normal and causes what is commonly called tanning.
However, for fair skin, this exposure step is painful and sometimes dangerous since it causes redness and burns and little or no nice tan.
The ideal would be to activate these melanocytes but without exposing themselves… Impossible you say? Well D-LAB did it. With our special tanning capsule : Active Sun Complex, a tanning activator.
Indeed, skin food supplements are effective and recommended when you tan when you are white. Our Active Sun Complex contains carrot extract, which gilds and magnifies the skin. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and vitamins, which are very useful for tanning; apricot extract rich in antioxidants and pigments. Apricot optimizes the tan. The formula also contains pomegranate extract titrated in punicalagines at 30%. This extract has a strong antioxidant action thanks to the powerful punicalingin polyphenols. It reduces hyperpigmentation and skin damage induced by UV rays from the sun.
Finally, the formula contains other active ingredients such as beta-carotene itself, blackcurrant extract or even astaxanthin.
With all this magic cocktail of protective active ingredients and tan precursors, you will obtain a tanned complexion before you begin your exposure to the sun.
Antioxidants prevent free radical oxidation that causes premature skin aging.
