7 tips to get brown legs faster

There are still some beautiful days ahead. Preferably our legs no longer look like milk bottles. So what can you do to get brown legs faster?

1. Make sure your legs are already seeing some sun

Fifteen minutes or half an hour of sun a day can already ensure that your legs are a little less white. Relax every day in the garden or on the balcony.

2. Exercise outside, in shorts or leggings

A handy trick:start exercising outside with bare legs from early spring. The first spring sun rays are strong, so that your legs are already a little pre-tanned.

3. Scrub your legs

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells from your legs. This will give your legs a more even tan and it will last longer.

4. Go to the water

You tan faster in the water. Water reflects the rays, exposing you to more radiation. It also helps if you take a dip every now and then. Wet skin discolors faster.

5. Eat carrots

Carrots contain beta-carotene, a substance that helps your skin to produce a brown color. To see a real effect, you should eat carrots every day or drink carrot juice for a longer period of time. But it would be nice if every little bit helps.

6. Lubricate with an SPF

Even if you want to tan quickly, protect your skin well against the sun. Always apply an SPF when you go out into the sun. Yes, you will also tan if you use sunscreen and you don't want to damage your skin.

7. Use self-tanner

The only real guarantee of color on your legs:self-tanner. If you do it right, your legs won't turn orange, but applying self-tanner remains a precise job. Read our tips for neatly applying self-tanner.
