How to prepare your skin for the sun and tanning:
Carotenoids
Carotenoids are very common pigments in many living organisms. They are responsible for the colors (red, orange, yellow) of fruits & vegetables, flowers and algae. They have antioxidant properties and have an important role in human health. These molecules are also well known for preparing the skin for tanning because they promote skin pigmentation and help fight skin aging. The best known: lycopene, beta-carotene, astaxanthin, lutein.
Copper
The Copper is a trace element that takes part in many reactions within our cells. It is in particular essential for the synthesis of melanin which colors the hair and the skin. Thus, copper contributes to the normal pigmentation of the skin *.
