Science Behind Sunless Tanning

Your skin is the largest organ that you have. It protects your internal organs, contains your senses that allow you to feel and pick up on scents, keep you warm when it is cold but cool when it gets hot, and helps you stay beautiful by giving off a youthful appearance. Or at least, that is the way most people are taught growing up. So, since this organ does so much for us, it makes sense that we want to do what we can to take care of it in return, right? Of course! Sunless spray tanning is one way we can do right by our skin. It gives you the look you want, while you are able to better prevent different types of skin damage that naturally occurs from sun exposure.

What You Get Out of Sunless Tanning

Sunless tanning gives off an appearance of having a sun kissed glow without all the harmful effects of UV rays from the sun. There are three main ingredients that help your skin look tanner:

  • Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
  • Amino sugars
  • Melanin enhancers

All these ingredients are different in their own way, but all achieve the same goal of darkening your skin. When you get a spray tan, your skin gets the benefits of that healthy glow. However, you do not have to worry about the negatives that could result from sun exposure. This includes fine lines, larger wrinkles, age spots, and issues like increasing your risk of skin cancer.

These three categories are all different in their own way, but they all have one common goal which is to give off an appearance of what you would get if you were laying out in the warm sunny weather, but without actually being out there getting that golden brown color on your skin! Some of them contain ingredients for a dark color and some have ingredients to make the color lighter [depending on preference].
