The Facts And Innuendo Of Sunless Tanning Systems

By Veronica Cappelletti


There are many facts and myths behind the sunless tanning systems that people truly do not understand. Often, people are misinformed though word of mouth about tanning, by people who do not truly understand the function of it. In this article, we will dispel some of the worries people have with these typical tanning units and help shed light on how it actually works.



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 next myth to debunk is the use of spray based booths. This type of sunless tan uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as an agent to react to the Amino acids on your skin. This causes a darkening reaction in the dead layer of skin. DHA is not an ink or a dye and will only darken the skin for a temporary amount of time.



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.

Another fact about all of these methods is that none of these actually protect the skin from the suns dangerous ultra violet rays. If you do use sunless methods to get a bronze look, do not think this will protect you from getting sunburn. Always protect yourself with a strong sunblock with a high SPF when going out in the sun.

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.
