Getting a beautiful, even tan without sun exposure or the risks of tanning beds is increasingly easier thanks to oral self-tanners, in the form of gummies or capsules.
But how do they work? And what's the best way to take them?
Unlike self-tanning creams or sprays that only pigment the surface layer of the skin, oral supplements work from the inside out, providing nutrients that stimulate the natural production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, or, with pigments that are deposited in the skin, giving it a darker tone.
Among the most common and effective active ingredients are:
- Betacarotene : precursor of vitamin A, accumulates in the skin, giving it a golden tone;
- L-tyrosine : essential amino acid in the production of melanin;
- Lycopene and Lutein : antioxidants that contribute to the protection and uniformity of skin color;
- Copper : mineral that participates directly in the pigmentation process;
- Vitamins C and E : antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress and help maintain healthy, glowing skin.
These ingredients not only promote a natural tan, but also help protect the skin from free radical damage and premature aging .
How and when to take it?
For best results, it is best to start taking it about 2 to 3 months before sun exposure (or the summer season) and continue throughout the period in which you want to maintain your tan.
They should be taken daily, preferably with a meal, to improve the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
And don't forget: oral self-tanners are not a substitute for sunscreen! They're a supplement to maintain a beautiful, even skin tone, much more safely.
