When we talk about tanning, it is inevitable that we also and especially talk about melanin, a pigment produced by certain cells in the human body, mainly located in the epidermis, which also has a photoprotective function.
Melanin protects against the negative effects of the sun's rays and protects the skin from the consequences of oxidative stress. Knowing how to stimulate melanin means being able to prepare your skin for summer and a tan.
One of the main ways to stimulate melanin production is to rely on certain foods, which contain nutrients that help stimulate it. But that's not all.

In order to get a better tan and make your skin tan easier and healthier, it is a good habit to start preparing it at least two months in advance from the time sun exposure will begin. The nutrients that come to the rescue in this case are group vitamins A, C and E, mineral salts, and beta-carotene. These directions are especially indicated for those who have lighter skin or skin that generally has a harder time getting a tan.
Spirulina is an excellent ally for a skin that tans more easily. Spirulina is a blue algae that is dried and then sold in powder or tablet form. It contains B vitamins, beta-carotene, minerals and essential amino acids, all of which can affect melanin production.
In order to stimulate melanin and make the skin tan more easily, one can resort to the use of creams that facilitate moisturising but also, and above all, to the use of creams that are specifically made to speed up the tan such as those containing almond oil, kiwi, aloe or shea butter.
Eating certain foods would promote the production of melanin. This would allow even those who have more difficulty tanning to have a more beautiful skin tone. Foods to be preferred in this respect include peaches, carrots, melon, almonds, nuts, salmon, tomatoes and kiwis.
