The Facts And Lies Behind The Sunless Tanning Systems

By Veronica Cappelletti

There has been many questions asked and none understood about the facts behind the sunless tanning systems. This subject matter can become misunderstood quickly through rumor and word of mouth between people. Those that are considering it for the first time often have worries based on wrong information. This article will look at some of these and help tell the truth and facts to what is consider sunless tan.

The first myth for people to understand is what type of chemicals the systems actually use. Many people think this is some kind of skin dye or color, but some methods actually help color the skin deeper naturally. This sunless system uses a diet with heavy beta-carotene found naturally in both vegetables and fruits. The beta-carotene helps increase the yellow pigment in the skin, adding a darkening effect.

The second myth to dispose of is the spray based systems. This uses a dihydroxyacetone (DHA) based lotion or spray that is not an ink or dye, rather an agent that reacts to the Amino acids on the surface of the skin. This exposure is temporary, and the effect only lasts about ten days.

Bronzing agents are slightly misunderstood. Many people use these to deepen the color of their skin temporarily. This can last just for the day and will wash off with soap and water. This is used much like makeup, it's to cover up splotches, or imperfections in the skin.

Many of these tanning methods work to darken the skin, but what many do not know is that it does not help protect from the sun. You may get a deep bronze color or look, but the only protection from the sun's UV rays is putting on sun screen with a high SPF. If you do not wear sunblock and go out and expose yourself in the sun, you will get sunburned.

These are just some of the facts and myths behind the sunless tanning systems. Most of these can help darken your skin either through diet and ingestion of high beta-carotene or darken your skin with DHA based sprays. Finally, always remember that none of these methods will give you proper protection in the sun, always remember to wear sunblock with high SPF.
