What All Fake Bake Sunless Tanning Products Should Contain

By Haywood Hunter


Fake bake sunless tanning is also known as self tanning, spray tanning, UV-free tanning, or fake tanning if tropically applied. Fake bake sunless tanning is the activity of applying chemical commodities on the body to generate an effect similar to a suntan. The popularity of fake bake sunless tanning products highly rose is the 60s due to its safety in comparison to other tanning techniques. Methods like use of tanning beds or sunbeds have been known to result into skin disorders such as cancer.

Fake bake sunless tanning may be attained through introduction, use, or consumption of various substances. Wearing of artificial sunscreens is one of the key ways. Sunscreens work by limiting the speed and amount of melanin produced in the body system. Sunscreens that have an SPF factor of 8 can inhibit the synthesis of melanin by around 95 percent whilst those of SPF factor of 15 inhibit by more than 98 percent.

Consumption of specific carotenoids antioxidants is the other way one can achieve a radiant and natural skin. Fruits and vegetation like carrots and tomatoes are rich in such carotenoids. They cause a color transformation when ingested in huge amounts. Quality of skin tone caused by them is better when compared to suntan.

Fake bake sunless tanning pills are also another important way of sunless tanning available. The fake bake sunless tanning pills contain many ingredients including beta carotene and canthaxanthin. Fake bake sunless tanning pills are not the best option following the way they work and the results they produce in the long run. Canthaxanthin works by depositing on internal organs like lungs, kidneys, livers, and the skin.

Once canthaxanthin gets deposited on skin surface from the inside, it leads to color change from the normal one to an orange-brown coloration takes place. This transforms the skin color from the outside and on the inside too. The major limitation is that canthaxanthin in fake bake sunless tanning products causes lung failure in heavy users in the long run. Beta carotene compound is the 2nd causative agent of cancer of the lung 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 paint, stain, or dye, rather it undergoes a chemical reaction with amino acids in the dead cells on the skin. This reaction is same as Maillard reaction, which causes food to turn to brown during processing and storage. There is no necessity for skin pigmentation and/or exposure to UV rays so as to trigger the process. The key disadvantage is however that tans fade gradually starting from 3 nights as dead skin sloughs off the body.

Other products that aid in fake bake sunless tanning employ amino acid known as tyrosine. Tyrosine-based commodities stimulate increased synthesis of melanin in the body. The speed of tanning is accelerated by this increase. They might require ultraviolet exposure for the tan to intensify. Presently, no scientific data exists that supports these claims. Fake bake sunless tanning products can be obtained from drug stores.
