Procedure For Using Fake Bake Sunless Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Fake bake sunless tanning is also referred to as self tanning, UV-free tanning, spray tanning or fake tanning in case it is applied tropically. Fake bake sunless tanning is the process of applying chemical products on the body in order to produce an effect that resembles a suntan. The popularity of this method highly rose during the 60s because of its safety compared to other tanning methods. Methods such as use of sunbeds or tanning beds have been observed to result into skin conditions such as cancer.

The activity of fake bake sunless tanning may be done through consumption, introduction, or use of various substances through various ways. One of the main ways is the use of artificial sunscreens. Sunscreens work by limiting or stopping the amount and speed at which melanin is produced in the human body. Sunscreens of an SPF level of 8 can reduce generation of melanin by approximately 95 percent whereas those of an SPF level of 15 reduce by over 98 percent.

Consumption of certain carotenoids antioxidants is also another way to achieve a radiant glow on the skin. Such carotenoids are found in certain fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and carrots. These antioxidants result in a color change when they are ingested in large amount. They are observed to result into a better skin tone compared to suntan.

Fake bake sunless tanning pills are also important for sunless color change. The pills contain several ingredients including canthaxanthin and beta carotene. People are discouraged from using fake bake sunless tanning pills following the way in which they work and the effects they produce over a long period of use. Canthaxanthin works by being deposited on internal organs such as kidneys, livers, lungs, and the skin.

Once canthaxanthin gets piled on the skin layer from within the body, a change in color from the usual one to a brown coloration occurs. The change in color happens on the surface as well as internally. The main limitation is that lung failure is observed in heavy users of fake bake sunless tanning pills in the long run. Beta carotene is ranks second as the causative agent for cancer in lungs after cigarette.

So far, the fake bake sunless tanning products illustrated work from inside the body system, which implies that they have to be ingested or injected into the body to cause effect. There exists other fake bake sunless tanning products which cause effect from within the body. They are in form of creams, body gels, oils, lotions, and sprays.They mainly contain DHA as an active ingredient. DHA is the short form for Dihydroxyacetone in most texts.

DHA is not a stain, dye, or paint, rather it goes through a chemical reaction with the amino acids in dead skin. This reaction is the same as the Maillard reaction that causes food to change color to brown during storage and manufacture. The process does not need to be triggered by skin pigmentation or exposing the skin to UV rays. The key disadvantage is however that the effect fades gradually as from 3 days of application as dead skin cells shade off from the body.

Other fake bake sunless tanning products that help in fake bake sunless tanning use the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine-based products work by stimulating increased production of melanin on the skin. This increase in turn accelerates the rate of tanning. They may need UV exposure to enhance the tan. Currently, there are no scientific data that support this claim. Fake bake sunless tanning lotions can be purchased from drug stores.
