Suntans, sunburns, and premature skin aging can all be caused by overexposure to cancer-causing ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B (UVA and UVB) rays.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both types of\u00a0rays damage the skin cells\u2019 DNA, prompting melanocytes (skin cells in the top layer of skin, the epidermis) to produce more melanin, the pigment that gives our eyes and skin their color.<\/p>\n

UVA oxidizes the existing melanin, causing immediate pigment darkening<\/em>. [Figure 1]<\/strong> UVB causes inflammation, which releases new<\/em> melanin to neighboring epidermal cells, and in about 72 hours, this leads to further tanning that lasts much longer than the UVA-triggered tanning. All of this melanin production signals that DNA damage has already occurred: it is a far from perfect attempt by the body to protect the skin from further<\/em> damage. Nonetheless, the damage from repeated UV exposures keeps\u00a0accumulating and can ultimately lead to skin cancer.<\/p>\n

What is a Sunless Tan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With sunless tanning, no such damage occurs. The \u201ctan\u201d from most sunless tanners comes from the coloring agent dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a simple carbohydrate. DHA binds to the proteins on the skin\u2019s surface, forming brownish melanin-like molecules called \u201cmelanoids\u201d that make the skin appear tan. Unlike UV, DHA does not penetrate beyond the skin surface. As can be seen in Figure 1<\/em>, it is active only in the stratum corneum, the epidermis\u2019s protective outermost layer of dead skin cells. Antioxidants such as caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) may be added to the self-tanner1,2<\/sup> to mitigate the artificial-looking orange or yellow color DHA can produce on the skin and achieve a more natural tone.3<\/sup><\/p>\n
