How to get a beautiful tan that stays even after your holiday?
If you are tired of your tan always fading too quickly once your holiday is over, Urucum may be just the answer you have been looking for. This natural ingredient has been used by many Amazonian tribes for generations for its unique qualities, which support healthy, radiant skin and a long-lasting tan that does not fade away easily. That way you can enjoy your beautifully tanned body for so much longer.
What is Urucum and where does it come from?
Urucum, also known as Bixa Orellana, is a shrub native to the Amazon rainforest and other tropical regions of South and Central America. It is commonly called the lipstick tree because of the vivid red colour of its seeds, which are traditionally used to make natural dyes. Indigenous people applied these dyes to their bodies, and it was partly through this that they came to treasure Urucum in caring for skin spending its days in the sun. Besides body paints it is also used as a dye for textiles and, of course, as an active ingredient in natural cosmetics. In cosmetic products it has become best known of all in various sun care preparations.
What Urucum brings to skincare and sunbathing
Urucum is rich in carotenoids, the natural pigments that give it its striking red colour. Carotenoids are known for their antioxidant qualities, which help protect the skin from free radicals and from everyday environmental stress (sun, wind and the like) and help soften the signs of ageing. Urucum also contains high levels of vitamin E, known for its moisturising and nourishing qualities that support healthy, elastic and radiant skin. When used for sunbathing, Urucum gives a natural, long-lasting tan that develops gradually and lends the skin a beautiful, exotic glow. Unlike chemical tanning products, which may not always be kind to the skin and can fade quickly, Urucum offers a gentle and natural alternative for a beautiful tan that stays even after your holiday ends.
How to use Urucum for sunbathing
Urucum for sunbathing, or a tan activator, can be used in various forms, including an oil, a butter or a shower gel. To use Urucum for sunbathing, simply apply it to clean, dry skin before going out into the sun and let it sink in for a few minutes before you sunbathe. It is also important to follow safe sunbathing practices and not to rely on Urucum alone as protection from the sun. Always use a sunscreen with a suitable SPF, applied before the Urucum tan activator. For safe sunbathing it is also important to drink enough water and to limit time in the sun around midday, so that you protect your skin from harmful UV radiation. Depending on where you are sunbathing, the sun is usually best avoided between 11:00 and 15:00.
