What To Anticipate From Contemporary Natural Tanning Cream And Future Options

By Haywood Hunter


Exposure to the sun can result in skin cancer, particularly for those with pale skins. Those with more melanin in their skins have far more protection against this reaction. Previously, the only way to bronze the skin without the sun was with DHA. Today, a natural tanning cream can produce improved results by inducing the skin's melanin production.

All bronzing products need to be safe, so consumers should use only those products that have been approved by the FDA. Those with this kind of approval will have been tested on large sample groups to assure that they are both safe and effective. Double blind studies are used to ensure that results are entirely objective.

Today, DHA is no longer the only way to produce a fake bronze. There are other chemicals that have also been found to produce a more organic look. There are bronzers that create the illusion of a tan, and are washed off using water and cleanser. A more permanent glow can be achieved using products containing tanning agents. There are also tablets with colorants that can be taken, but these have not been FDA approved for this kind of use.

Sunless tans don't act as sun blocks, so it remains important to apply sun screens whilst wearing a faux bronzing product. There are lotions available that have sun blocks in them but, since such products are usually washed off after a few hours, they remain an inefficient way to protect the skin against UV rays. Those wearing bronzers should always wear sun block.

The skin has two basic layers. The epidermis and dermis are also divided into their own layers. It is the surface layer of the epidermis that is affected by bronzers. Sunless tans now produce more organic and even results through fresh chemicals and different manufacturing techniques. The improved production results in better outcomes.

Sunless bronzers come with a vast range of different effects, and need to be selected in accordance with one's own skin color. Those with deep skin tones usually require a deeper product whilst paler people require a more subtle effect if their results are to appear organic. There are products on the market that last only a few hours, until they are washed off.

The most frequently used active ingredient in sunless tans is DHA. Its reaction occurs on the epidermis' outermost layer. This is a layer that is always renewing itself, so it is covered in dead skin cells. Exfoliation before application helps the product to act on the correct layer and prevents dry skin from absorbing more pigment than is desirable.

There are tanning accelerators on the market that are used to stimulate the formation of melanin. However, these only work when the skin is exposed to the sun. In the future, scientists hope to be able to stimulate melanin production without the need for sun exposure. Natural tanning cream may eventually stimulate the epidermis into creating its own melanin to protect against the sun more effectively whilst bringing an organic sunless tan.
