Is it true that carrots can help you get tanned? You probably heard this before, haven't you?
But something that most people don't know is that carrots can actually help you with your tan. Did you know that?
This happens because they are rich in beta carotene! Beta carotene turns into vitamin A in our body and stimulates melanin production, a pigment that determines our skin color.
Beta carotene also has antioxidant action, helping protect our skin against free radicals produced by ultraviolet rays during sun exposure.
Thanks to this antioxidant effect, beta carotene also aids against premature aging and contributes to a healthier appearance.
Besides carrots, other foods that contain beta carotene are papaya, pumpkin, orange, spinach, arugula, and beet.
But, how do we use carrots to improve our tans?
Eating carrots just once isn't enough. The food alone won't do any miracles: you can't get tanned just by eating a single carrot. The food can only give a boost to your tan.
However, more important than getting your dream tan is doing it healthily. And, to do that, you can't just eat carrots and other beta carotene-rich foods.
You also need to protect your skin from burns and the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays. These rays cause problems like premature aging, skin spots, and even skin cancer.
