Sunless Tanning $79.66 Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.

Vitamin D: Can a Tanning Bed Replace the Sun?

More and more people are choosing to get that "summer glow" with a quick trip to a tanning salon instead of spending time outdoors. But is a tanning bed a replacement for the sun when it comes to getting enough vitamin D?

Though experts have voiced a variety of opinions on this question, the general consensus seems to be a cautious and qualified yes - it's theoretically possible, but depending on how the tanning bed is calibrated, it may be unlikely. Some skin specialists say limited exposure to the sun itself is the best choice, while others advocate avoiding artificial and natural sun alike and depending on food and supplements to maintain adequate levels of the vitamin.

Exposure to the sun triggers the body to produce Vitamin D, which is often referred to as the sunshine vitamin. Long recognized for its importance to bone health and strength, it has recently been proven to play an important role in a host of aspects of both physical and mental health.

Low levels of the vitamin have been associated with a number of serious diseases including cardio-vascular disease, multiple sclerosis, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, and several forms of cancer. Recent research has also shown that insufficient levels of the vitamin are clearly correlated with mental health issues, including depression and cognitive impairment in the elderly.

Since few foods contain vitamin D, sun exposure is traditionally an important part of avoiding deficiency. But when hectic schedules, cloudy skies, or winter weather make spending time in the sun a challenge, a few minutes in a tanning salon may seem like a good substitute. But many experts warn that while the rays from a tanning bed could stimulate the production of the vitamin, exposure to the sun itself is safer.

Sunlight - both natural and artificial - contains two types of ultraviolet rays. UVB rays, which are shorter and penetrate only the surface layers of the skin, are the ones that trigger the synthesis of the vitamin. UVA rays are longer and penetrate deeper layers of the skin, and are responsible for the deep golden tans that most tanning salon patrons desire.

As little as 20 minutes of exposure to UVB rays can maintain sufficient levels of D vitamin, but prolonged exposure can quickily lead to sunburns. In order to enhance tanning and reduce the potential for burning, tanning beds are often calibrated to emit primarily UVA rays. This also significantly reduces the amount of vitamin D that this type of exposure that salon tanning can provide.

The argument over whether the benefits of sun exposure outweigh it's potential for creating problems has been going on for more than a decade. Pointing to the possibility of skin cancer, some dermatologists urge people to actively avoid sun exposure and get their D vitamin from foods and supplements. At the same time, other skin specialists say that the body is equipped to handle moderate sun exposure.
