Achieving a beautiful glow

When it comes to getting a tan, many think about creams and sprays or about lying by a pool or beach. Whilst the prior can end up streaky, fake or orange, the latter is often preferred as it can lead to a natural looking tan (and is usually more enjoyable!). But did you know you can make your tan look even better when out in the sun? Making sure your body is getting the right nutrition is key to enhancing your natural tan and there are a few ways to do this.

Firstly, you need to make sure whenever out in the sun you are looking after your skin. As well as always wearing suncream, it is important to add nutrition to your diet that can help protect the skin from the damage and appearance of premature ageing that is caused by getting too many UV rays. These can include carotenoids such as lutein as well as polyphenols such as those from grape seeds that are both known to have protective qualities. Adding vitamins such as C and E can also help to protect for the look of a healthy and youthful glow.

For those wanting a more enhanced natural tan, it is additionally beneficial to support the natural melanin production in the body. Melanin is the pigment that determines skin colour and is produced through Melanogenesis, the multistep process said to involve the amino acid L-tyrosine. Copper is considered key for the synthesis of L-tyrosine to melanin, making them both important for adding to your diet if you’re wanting a better looking tan.

The Sunglow formula

Nourish
When tanning it is key to nourish the skin from the inside just as it is the outside. Tyrosine is important as it is involved with melanogenesis, the process for melanin production. Copper is also beneficial as it is known to contribute to normal skin pigmentation as well as the maintenance of normal connective tissues.

Glow
When tanning, it is key to optimise our skin exposure in order to achieve a beautifully healthy glow. Lutein, a carotenoid vitamin from Marigold flowers, is considered great for the skin as it can help its natural tolerance to the sun and research has also pointed out its broad range of amazing benefits.

Protect
Just like wearing suncream on the outside, it is vital to protect the skin from within. Grape Seeds are rich in Polyphenols which have been linked to protection from over-exposure to sun rays. Vitamin E is also considered a skin loving vitamin as it is known to contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
