By Haywood Hunter


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.

One of the myths of these methods is that all of these systems use chemicals, inks, or dyes to color your skin. This is far from the truth. Actually, you can use perfectly natural supplements that are found in vegetables and fruits called beta-carotene. These react naturally to yellow pigment found in the blood and surface of the skin to actually give a bronze to orange color. Going on a diet of this can help darken your skin.

Spray based methods are quickly becoming popular. This system uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to react to the surface of your skin. This changes the Amino acids in the skin to darken temporarily. This effect will normally wear off in about ten days. This does not use harmful chemical, inks, or dyes to color your skin.

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.

This is just the real story behind the sunless tanning systems. These systems are not just a chemical dye or ink, but actually can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables. Many do not use harmful chemicals or dyes to color your skin dark, and most of the effects are temporary. Finally, no matter what system you use, do not think this will protect yourself from the sun's harmful effects. Be sure to use sunblock with a high SPF value every time you go out into the sun.
