What Must Be Contained In Best 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 process of fake bake sunless tanning can be achieved through use, consumption or introduction of various substances into the body through different means. One of the major ways is the application of artificial sunscreen. Sunscreens work by stopping or limiting the amount and rate at which melanin is synthesized in the body. Sunscreens with an SPF of 8 are observed to reduce the production of melanin by about 95 percent while those of an SPF of 15 reduce by 98 percent.

Consumption of specified carotenoids antioxidants is another way of achieving a radiant naturally glowing skin. Such carotenoids exist in certain vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, carrots, and water melons. They cause a color change when ingested in large doses. The quality of skin tone they cause is better 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, fake bake sunless tanning products named above work from the inside of the body, meaning that they have to be consumed to cause effect. There are other fake bake sunless tanning products that cause effect from the outside. They come in form of lotions, sprays, creams, gels, and body oils.They mainly have dihydroxyacetone as the active ingredient. Dihydroxyacetone is normally shortened to DHA.

DHA is not a dye, paint, or stain, rather it causes a chemical reaction with the amino acid in the dead skin cells. This reaction is similar to Maillard reaction, which causes browning during manufacture and storage of food. There is no need for skin pigmentation or exposure to UV radiation so as to initiate the process. The major drawback is however that the tan fades gradually starting from three days as dead skin cells slough off 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.
