Getting Ready for Summer: How to Tan Faster with Less Sun

Summer. Sunshine. That golden glow. We all want it, right? But what if this year, you could tan smarter — using less sun exposure, yet still end up with a gorgeous, even, long-lasting glow?

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to prep your skin from the inside, what nutrients help speed up tanning, and why it’s not just about sunscreen. (Spoiler: your glow starts way before the beach)

Did you know your tan starts in the kitchen?

Yep, it’s true! Your body’s ability to produce melanin — the pigment responsible for tanning — can actually be supported from the inside out. Two superstar nutrients for this: beta-carotene and vitamin C.

What is beta-carotene?

It’s a natural pigment found in carrots, pumpkin, mango and more. Your body converts it into vitamin A, which supports healthy skin and melanin production.

– The more beta-carotene in your system, the faster and more evenly you’ll tan — plus your skin becomes less sensitive to UV light.

And vitamin C?

Not just for immune support! Vitamin C helps boost collagen production (hello, bouncy skin!) and acts as a powerful antioxidant — helping your skin fight off sun-induced stress.

Pro tip: Start loading up on these vitamins 2–3 weeks before your beach trip for the best results. You can get them through food or a targeted vitamin shot.

What does "tanning from within" even mean?

It’s a smarter skincare approach. Instead of only relying on what you apply to your skin, you’re also giving your skin the nutrients it needs from the inside.

That’s where SunBoost H+ comes in — a delicious pineapple-flavored shot loaded with glow-boosting and skin-protecting ingredients:

Beta-carotene (3000 µg / 100 ml) – the glow enabler

Vitamin C (320 mg / 100 ml) – antioxidant + collagen kickstarter

Vitamin E (12 mg / 100 ml) – skin cell defender

Collagen + hyaluronic acid – hydration + firmness

CoQ10 – energizes and protects your skin cells

And the taste? Like sipping on sunshine.

5 Easy Tips to Tan Faster (With Less Sun!)

1. Start prepping in May!

Go for a 2–4 week vitamin boost with beta-carotene, vitamin C and CoQ10 — so your body’s ready before the summer sun even hits.

2. Don’t tan on an empty stomach – have a vitamin shot first!

Morning or midday is best for absorption and impact.

3. Skip the sun shock!

Build your tan slowly — start with 15–20 mins a day and work your way up. No sunburns this summer, please!

4. Hydrate inside and out

The more hydrated your skin is, the longer your tan lasts. Hyaluronic acid helps keep moisture locked in.

5. Eat your colors

Orange, red, and green fruits & veggies are loaded with beta-carotene. Combine them with your daily shot = next-level glow.

Fun facts you didn’t know…

– Did you know tanning is actually a protective response?

Melanin is your body’s natural sunscreen. Supporting melanin production helps reduce sunburn risk and improves your skin’s defenses.

– And that internal skin support slows down aging?

Antioxidants like vitamin C, E and CoQ10 don’t just protect — they help maintain collagen and slow down wrinkle formation.

TL;DR: Tan Smarter, Glow Longer

Sunshine is a friend — if your skin’s ready for it. Smart tanning means giving your skin what it needs before you even hit the beach.

All it takes is 25 ml of SunBoost H+ a day — and you’ll be glowing from the inside out.
