Facts About Sunless Tanning Pills

By Haywood Hunter


The Internet is filled with information about sunless tanning pills. There are websites with consumer referrals and opinions, some personal and some professional. Anyone considering using this method to tan their skin should give it a lot of thought and do some research before they begin taking them.

Many people prefer to look tanned all year round. It can take years from your appearance and make you look healthier and slimmer. There are other methods used to keep a tan, such as salons and skin dyes. However, each method has some risk, either in appearance or health-wise. Creams, sprays and lotions can leave behind a residue on the skin if they are not high-quality.

One of the most hazardous methods to darkening your skin is spending hours on the beach or out in the sun. This is, however, a good way to give yourself skin problems, like cancer. Many people prefer to take a pill to get the same effect as lying in the sun or using dying creams. Anyone who wants to consider using this method should do some research and might want to consult a doctor to make sure it is okay.

Some pills work better than others. You should remember that just because a certain pill worked for one person, it may not work for you. Everyone has a different body type. Skin may react differently on one person than it will on another.

People sometimes take them while they are also going to a salon or using a tanning bed. This can be beneficial depending on what type of skin a person has. They may have to deal with side effects such as rashes, orange skin or skin that has darkened too much. Unfortunately, once a pill has been taken, it cannot be washed off and must be given time to be flushed out of the system.

Vitamins are also included in sunless tanning pills, with the pigment-enhancing ingredients. There are none that are currently approved by the FDA. Most that are offered are still being researched and studied. Information can sometimes be received in doctors offices and clinics in the form of pamphlets and brochures.
