If you have any skin conditions or sensitivities, or are gluten intolerant, please consult your GP or dermatologist before use. Fortunately, eating certain foods can help us achieve an extra tone of subtle tan as well as improve skin health and its overall appearance. What should we eat for a healthy tan? Our creams are so moisturising that many people find they don’t even need to apply any after-sun cream. However, if you do feel that your skin is dry, then keeping your skin moisturised will make you tan better and make your tan last longer.

Loef A, et al. (2012). Fruit, vegetables and prevention of cognitive decline or dementia: A systematic review of cohort studies. DOI: We can find beta carotene in many of the vegetables we eat, most notably in carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes. Building beta carotene-rich foods into your diet will therefore not only help you to boost your antioxidant levels, but also make sure you are getting your required daily dose of vitamin A. Some research has shown that cooked carrots provide more carotenoids than raw carrots. Adding olive oil can also increase the bioavailability of carotenoids. Yes beta carotene can help with tanning as evidence suggests. Not only is beta carotene an antioxidant but when you take beta carotene the body converts it into vitamin A which is also vital for our skin’s health. You can still use food to look great without focusing on eating carrots. Incorporating various colourful vegetables, particularly those high in carotenoids, into your diet may promote a natural radiance and a gentle enhancement in skin tone.

Four weeks of carrot juice: The result

Once a beta-carotene containing food is digested, special cells in the gut break it into two molecules of retinol (also known as vitamin A). This vitamin A is then used in various critical bodily functions such as vision, reproduction, immunity and growth.

Canned, drained spinach supplies 12585 mcg of beta-carotene for every 214 g cup. Boiled spinach 11318 mcg per 180 g cup. Frozen boiled spinach 6875 mcg per 95 g. 17) Swiss chard Raw apricots have about 1696 mcg (micrograms) of beta-carotene per 1 cup of 155 g of halved fruits. Dried, uncooked apricots have about 2812 mcg per cup of an estimated 130 g. Uncooked, dried peaches contain about the same amounts: 1718 mcg per 160 g cup. Week 1: 2 glasses of freshly squeezed carrot juice per day or 60,000 IU Beta Carotene from supplements Zucchini. Surprisingly, boiled summer zucchinis (without salt) provide around 1206 mcg of beta-carotene for every 180 g.Oxidative stress is a known contributor to the development of certain chronic diseases. Antioxidants like beta carotene help reduce or prevent oxidative stress in the body. As a result, eating one or two extra servings of foods rich in carotenes can encourage a beautiful, natural, subtle tan and even offer slightly more protection against radiation from the sun as a result of the strong antioxidant properties of carotenes such as beta-carotene. Keep in mind that the cognitive benefits related to beta carotene were only associated with long-term supplementation over an average of 18 years. More importantly, it can lead to skin cancer – it increases your risk of developing basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Summary There is, however, some evidence that taking high-dose beta-carotene supplements (20 mg per day or more) increases lung cancer risk in people who smoke cigarettes or used to smoke. This may be due to changes to chemical signalling pathways.

The body controls the conversion of beta-carotene into vitamin A based on what it needs. So, when the body has enough vitamin A, it slows down or stops converting beta-carotene into vitamin A. Carrots are rich in a substance called beta-carotene. And eating large amounts of carrots -- or other veggies known for beta-carotene like yellow squash -- can lead to an elevated level of carotene in the body. When tanning products (whether sunscreen or tanning oil) claim to contain beta carotene, it means that the pigment has been added to the product. Let’s talk about whether these products can help you tan. Can Beta Carotene Help You Tan? In Tanning Oils and Sunscreens However, keep in mind that, unlike foods rich in beta carotene, beta carotene supplements have different effects on health and may lead to negative effects.

How to stay safe from the sun, remember these golden rules.

A 2018 Cochrane review that included eight studies that focused on antioxidants, including beta carotene, found small benefits associated with beta carotene supplementation on cognitive function and memory. Canned tomato juice has around 656 mcg of beta-carotene per 243 g serving. Raw green tomatoes have 623 mcg per 1 cup of 180 g, while cooked red ripe tomatoes 703 mcg per 240 g. Just as with the lycopene in tomatoes, carotenes and beta-carotene in particular become more bioavailable when cooked. Also, it has been suggested that lycopene may have a similar, but less pronounced effect of skin pigmentation as carotenes. 8) Beet greens Beta carotene is a fat-soluble compound, which is why eating this nutrient with a fat improves its absorption.

In addition to serving as a dietary source of provitamin A, beta carotene functions as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals. When free-radical numbers get too high in the body, causing an imbalance, it leads to cellular and tissue damage, known as oxidative stress. Carrot Sun products contain almond oil, which is rich in a natural tan-accelerating agent called L-Tyrosine. This amino acid promotes and stimulates the production of melanin in the skin upon exposure to UV rays or the sun. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the tanned colour of skin and also protects skin from UV rays. L-Tyrosine in our tanning formulas means that less time is needed in the sun to achieve your desired colour. Carrot oil is a natural tan accelerator, and is present in our Carrot & Tropical Fruit products. It is also rich in beta carotene which, in the correct amounts, shows as a slightly bronze coloured tint on skin. Beta carotene is another contributor to Carrot Sun’s signature golden glow. Carrot oil is also rich in vitamins A, E, & C and antioxidants, all of which significantly reduce the signs of aging and combat free radicals. Pairing these foods, herbs, and spices with a healthy fat, such as olive oil, avocado, or nuts and seeds, can help the body absorb them better.

Cooked, boiled and drained beet greens boast 6610 mcg of beta-carotene per 1 cup of 144 g. Both beets and their greens are one of the healthiest vegetables we can enjoy, with beets containing red antioxidant pigments with cancer preventive properties. 9) Collards
