These foods that help you get a natural tan

 Eva Deschamps / May 17, 2021

With the beautiful days coming (we hope), you probably don't want to have a pale complexion anymore. Exit the foundation and the self-tanner, these foods can give you a golden complexion.

Your best allies for beautiful skin are sleep, exercise and diet. To get a tanned complexion and prepare for summer, certain foods can really make a difference by helping you stimulate the production of melanin, which gives the skin a tanned look.

In fact, foods rich in beta-carotene are a great natural way to get a golden complexion for the summer. Foods rich in vitamin B6 or Omega 3 and 6 moisturize your skin and will help it tan better. Seafood is rich in selenium, an antioxidant trace element that plays a key role in the body's protective functions.

So forget about capsules, self-tanners or wearing foundation in the summer to look more tanned! These foods will help you get the golden glow you want to start the summer.
