Well, spring has pleased us with its arrival. And although there is still snow here and there, and the frosts recede very slowly, nevertheless, the spring awakening is felt in everything: in nature, in moods.

Before we know it, summer will come after spring. I would like to meet him fully armed: a toned figure and a beautiful tan.

And although so much has already been said about the dangers of ultraviolet rays, a tanned body continues to be considered the standard of beauty and grooming.

What if, like me, a solarium, sunbathing and purchased cosmetics for self-tanning are not suitable for you, for one reason or another? It turns out there is a great alternative.

This article is about how to get a beautiful, even and safe “tan” without the sun with folk remedies: using cosmetic procedures and using organic products.

About the dangers of regular tanning

The ultraviolet spectrum of sunlight triggers the production of melanin pigment in the body, which allows you to acquire a natural tan.

The sun is very useful, but scientists are increasingly and louder declaring its harmful effects: free radicals are formed, DNA structure is damaged, the stratum corneum thickens, and it ages prematurely. In addition, for medical reasons, the open sun and solarium are contraindicated:

• people in whose families there were cases of oncological diseases;
• persons with light skin that burns easily and is prone to pigmentation;
• those who have many moles on their bodies;
• you should not abuse sunbathing if you are prone to varicose veins.

Synthetic dyes for leather

The cosmetic market offers a huge variety of tanning products that allow you to do without the sun, but have their drawbacks, and many are dangerous to health.

Quite a bit of history:

The first self-tanning cream was invented in the last century by Benjamin Green, a simple American pharmacist. And it happened quite by accident.

While working on a cure for diabetes, Benjamin spilled a substance containing a sugar molecule on his hand, in this place the skin color changed. Many modern self-tanning products are still based on this property of the sugar molecule to give the skin a tanned appearance.

Types of artificial skin tanning products: accelerators, pills and injections, bronzates (bronzers), self-tanners.

Accelerators

- means that enhance the production of melanin. The amino acid tyrosine is the most famous accelerator, it is far from safe. Western European countries and the United States have banned the use of tyrosine.

Tanning tablets

contain the pigment canthaxanthin, which stains the epidermis when it enters the body. The intensity of shades depends on the dose: from light golden to dark bronze. Canthaxanthin has side effect: It deposits and accumulates in the retina of the eye, which can lead to serious vision problems. Canthaxanthin tablets are banned in many Western countries and in the US.

Melanotan injection

A procedure that is gaining popularity. Melanotan causes skin coloration without exposure to ultraviolet rays. "Sunburn" appears a week after the injection. Tan should be maintained by repeated injections of melanotan twice a week. This drug is distributed by online stores and fitness clubs. It should be noted that melanotan has not been fully studied.

Bronzates

Color the skin with dyes. You can choose the desired shade of tan: tropical, mountain, marine, etc. Cons: bronzers give a short-lived effect of tanned skin, it is difficult to evenly paint yourself on your own, clothes get dirty.

Self-tanners

Contain dihydroxyacetone, powder white color obtained from sugar cane or beets. This explains the specific smell of self-tanning. Dihydroxyacetone stains the skin in a dark natural color without penetrating into it. Self-tanning marks on clothes, as a rule, do not leave. Disadvantage: Washes off quickly, requires constant reapplication.

Folk methods of tanning without the sun

They include simple and familiar beauty treatments using safe natural products and appropriate nutrition. They will not make you a chocolate, but they will get rid of pallor and give the skin a light and pleasant shade of tan.

washing

Cocoa, coffee (ground) or strong black tea(1 teaspoon of tea leaves per 50 ml of boiling water, change the proportions in relation to your skin color) will give a beautiful golden tone skin, as well as well refresh, tighten and tone it. Use only natural products and good quality.

Chamomile and Chamomile provide a light shade of tan: 8 tbsp. spoons of a mixture of herbs pour one liter of boiling water, leave for two to three hours in heat, strain.

Onion peel is a well-known dye, our great-grandmothers also dyed eggs for Easter and tinted their hair with it. To prepare a natural self-tanner, simmer thoroughly washed onion husks over low heat. The proportions of husk and water are determined empirically.

Rhubarb root decoction: one table. pour a spoonful of dry root (crushed) with one glass of boiling water, boil for 20 minutes over low heat. Refrigerate, strain.

How to use: take a large cotton swab and rub (2 times a day) coffee, tea, cocoa, herbal infusion or onion peel decoction into the skin of the face and body.

Rubbing

Ice cubes (not possible with rosacea):

Freeze tea, cocoa, coffee, infusion of string and chamomile in ice molds and wipe the skin with ice. This procedure gives an excellent tonic, tightening and coloring result.

rhubarb root juice 2 times a day will give a beautiful shade to the body. Especially useful for oily skin, as it tightens pores and disinfects the skin. For dry skin with rhubarb, it is better to make masks (see below).

Black tea tonic. Used to wash off tanning masks to fix and enhance the effect. It is also useful for them to wipe their face during the day for refreshment and nutrition, because tea has valuable properties for the skin. Prepare a tonic: brew 3 teaspoons of tea with half a liter of boiling water, leave for 20 minutes.

masks

Very effective in achieving a beautiful tanned skin color at home.

Mix coffee or cocoa with water to make a fairly thick mass. Apply for 10 minutes on the face, décolleté and, if desired, on the body. For dry skin type, use instead of water (olive, jojoba, cocoa and other base oils).

The value of a coffee / cocoa mask is that it will not only color well, but also gently cleanse the epidermis of dead cells. To get a more lasting result, make masks daily for a week.

From henna: mix red henna with warm boiled water until a homogeneous mass is obtained, apply to the skin for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

From rhubarb root juice(for dry skin):

Add juice to your cream (1:1). This mask can not be washed off by soaking the remnants with a napkin after 20 minutes.

mix with yolk or sour cream, apply for 20 minutes, apply for 20 minutes, rinse with tea tonic or water.

from carrots :

Carrots, grated on a fine grater, mix with vegetable oil (cream, sour cream), keep the mask for about 20 minutes. Rinse off with black tea tonic (see above) or water.

Carrots, grated on a fine grater, mix with glycerin (100g) or melted beeswax. Mix thoroughly, refrigerate (up to 30 days) and use as a 5-minute mask. Wash off with warm water (large amount).

Important! Carrot masks are not suitable for people with very fair skin, it can turn into yellow.

Baths

Tea baths perfectly tone, nourish, rejuvenate and color the skin, improve blood circulation. Pour half a liter of boiling water 6 tablespoons of black tea, leave for 20 minutes, then pour into the bath.

During the bath, rub the tea on your face and neck. The duration of the procedure is up to 30 minutes, it can be taken daily, after the bath, do not rinse the skin, but blot it with a towel.

Bath with string and chamomile also has a coloring effect, tones, nourishes, soothes.

Leaves walnut : prepare a decoction (brew a glass of chopped fresh leaves with a liter of boiling water, leave to cool) and add it to the bath. To get a natural shade, you will need to take two or three baths lasting up to 30 minutes. The effect lasts for about a week.

Walnut leaf baths are useful for skin diseases, gout, rickets, and nervous tension. However, they also have contraindications: diseases of the intestines, pancreas, increased blood clotting, etc. Consult your doctor!

Cambrian blue clay (3 tablespoons), henna (1 tablespoon) and one teaspoon of cinnamon (make sure you are not allergic!) mix and dissolve in the bath. The duration of the bath is 15 minutes.

Important :

before taking a coloring bath, take a warm cleansing shower, treat the skin with a scrub. I recommend coffee, it nourishes the skin and reduces cellulite.

To get a beautiful golden “tan” with folk remedies, be patient, the first time you are unlikely to achieve the desired result. But your efforts will avoid exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation, which leads to pigmentation and early wrinkles.

This is especially true for those for whom traditional tanning is contraindicated. Besides natural remedies not only will they give a beautiful and even color to your skin, they will also not stain your clothes.

As we can see, with safe methods you can give the skin a tanned and well-groomed look at home. You can “tan” much more effectively if you combine cosmetic procedures with nutrition: many plant products contain carotenoids - pigments that color the skin from the inside. Read about it.

What is fake tan and what are its benefits:

Sunburn: is it useful

“It’s harmful to sunbathe in the sun!”, “The sun ages the skin!”, “Lying on the beach you can get cancer!”, “Sunburn only burns!” We've all heard those sayings at least once. But are they as fair as is commonly believed?

Indeed, the scorching sun can cause great harm to the skin and body. If you sunbathe in moderation and follow certain rules, then sunbathing becomes a useful and enjoyable experience.

Proper tanning helps in the fight against skin diseases. So, sunbathing with psoriasis is not only possible, but even necessary. The sun's rays have a beneficial effect on the condition of the patient's skin, reduce itching and discomfort. In combination with treatment, tanning helps to get rid of diseases such as fungus, eczema, acne etc.

Ultraviolet also stimulates metabolic processes in the body. Helps improve blood circulation and endocrine activity.

Melanin - what is it

Why do people get different tans under the same conditions? Why does the skin not tan in the sun? Why can't you get a tan in the sun before? It's all about melanin. It is he who is responsible for our eye, hair and skin color. In addition, melanin plays a protective role, protecting the skin from sun damage. Accordingly, the more melanin, the darker the skin and the richer the tan. Melanocytes are responsible for the production of melanin in the body.

The tanning process is as follows:

1. You are in the sun.
2. Ultraviolet rays begin the process of DNA destruction in the body.
3. The body begins to produce melanin to prevent further damage.

Sunbathing and solarium increase the amount of melanin. This may explain why already tanned people are less prone to burns and the harmful effects of the sun. For the same reason, sunbathing is recommended gradually.

There are people whose skin practically does not tan in the sun, and any attempts to get a beautiful tan end in burns and disorders. In such people, melanin is produced in small quantities or not at all.

Owners of such sensitive skin are not recommended to sunbathe and stay in the sun for a long time. It is worth noting that the number of melanocytes is approximately the same for everyone, but the amount of melanin secreted is different, and not everyone has enough of it to acquire a tan.

Differences between tanning in the sun and in the solarium

Finding outward differences between tanning in the sun and in a solarium is difficult.

However, the main advantage of a solarium is the ability to dose radiation. Natural conditions do not allow this. In addition, hard waves that have a bad effect on the human body are filtered out.

Another advantage of the solarium is its accessibility for urban residents.

How to quickly tan / 8 rules for a perfect tan

1. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliation daily for a week or two before your trip to the sun. Dead cells on the surface of the skin cause uneven tanning.
2. Start drinking vitamins, A and E, in combination or separately. Vitamin A stimulates the production of melanin, and you will become chocolate faster, and vitamin E softens and moisturizes the skin, which will make it look great.
3. Drink carrot juice, rich in beta-carotene, which is also necessary for the production of melanin. Remember that beta-carotene is fat-soluble, meaning it needs fat to be absorbed. Add cream or a spoonful of vegetable oil to the juice.
4. To quickly tan, you do not need to lie (stand) for an hour, turning one side to the sun, then the other. You tan better and faster when you are on the move. Play, run, have fun, and the sun will do its job.
5. If you remember that a tan should not only be quick, but also beautiful and healthy, stay in the sun until 11-12 pm and after 4 pm. And be sure to use sunscreen!
6. A bronzer will help you tan quickly in the sun. This is not self-tanning, but a special lotion or cream with components that stimulate the production of melatonin.
7. Sunbathing, drink! Water, of course. Increase your daily allowance by a liter, your skin will thank you and will be elastic and smooth, despite the dehydrating effect of ultraviolet radiation.
8. Be sure to apply before bed nutritious cream from the line "After the sun" or any softening and soothing. This will allow the skin to rest and recover by the next day.
9. When you return from the sea, my body is coffee grounds. Don't rub! Coffee is often recommended as a scrub, which is a really great idea, but not if you want to keep the skin dark. Simply apply the coffee grounds to your body with gentle movements and rinse with warm water. Coffee will increase pigmentation.
10. Wash your face with tea. Sleeping brew is an excellent antiseptic, prevents inflammation and acne, tea extract tightens and refreshes the skin and helps maintain its swarthy shade.
11. Apply a light auto bronzer once a week. You don't run the risk of becoming orange or spotted, because the skin is already tanned! Support it with a self-tanner and enjoy the effect for months.
12. Do not go to the sauna and bath, do not rub your skin with a towel. Careful, gentle!
13. Eat salmon! Fatty varieties of fish help the skin retain dark pigment longer.
14. Take a cool shower. By toning blood vessels and skin, you will slow down the process of exfoliation of pigmented layers.
15. Weather permitting, you can free time or on the weekends go out and sunbathe, thereby refreshing your tan and strengthening it. Tanned skin "absorbs" the sun's rays well, and an hour or two a week is enough.
