PRE-TAN TIPS FOR ALL FITNESS/FIGURE WOMEN & MALE BODYBUILDERS!!
By Dr. Dave Ryan of BodyBuilding.com
More physical athletes are using sunless tanning lotions. The
media is full of studies showing tanning beds and actual
sunlight causing too much damage to the skin. One thing is for
sure, that a smooth even color gives us a healthy look.
Tanning Basics
Getting that look is getting easier and might even help prevent
cancer in the future. Scientist are currently working
on adding ingredients such as "Green Tea" to tanning solutions to
aid in antioxidation and removal of free radicals.
Getting the most out of tanning is sometimes confusing with some
of the claims that companies place on their products.
The active ingredient in most sunless tanning solutions is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone).
This is an extract from sugar cane
or other vegetable extracts, which reacts with the amino acids in
the surface layers of your skin to result in the
dark skin appearance.
Dihydroxyacetone
Dihydroxyacetone is a triose carbohydrate with the chemical
formula C3H6O3. It is the simplest of all ketoses and,
having no chiral centre, is the only one that has no optical
activity. This means that when light interacts with DHA
it will not change the direction of polarized light.
Differences between tanning lotions are associated with how well
that DHA is processed and of course how strong the
concentration is. Several brands have a bronzer which is only
added to offer initial cosmetic value, but is removed in
less than two washings.
When you use a tanning bed or lie in the sun, photons of light
energy force cells called melanocyte to produce melanin
(a pigment that causes the tan look). Your ability to tan with
sunlight is determined on the genetic concentration of
melanocytes in your skin. This process is completely different
from "sunless tanning."
Steps To Getting A Better Color
* Start with a base tan with natural sunlight or tanning bed.
Drink Coffee or Green Tea (not decaf) to help fight the
effects of the UV radiation. Use sunscreens or tanning beds with
filtration tubes to prevent excessive UVA absorption.
* Reduce all skin conditions with proper medications and cleaning.
* Shave or wax or use hair remover; two days prior to DHA
application.
* Prep the skin with vinegar (leave on 20 minutes), which reduces
the pHof the skin and makes it more acidic. This
also has been shown to help reduce acne. Major skin pH changes
occur with the use of various diuretics and tend to
give a greenish color to the skin. The vinegar wash avoids this
type of chemical reaction.
pH
A range of numbers expressing the relative acidity or alkalinity
of a solution. In general, pH values range from 0 to
14. The pH of a neutral solution, i.e., one which is neither
acidic nor alkaline, is 7. Acidic solutions have pH
values below 7; alkaline, or basic, solutions have pH values above
7
* Eat more protein to enhance the reaction of DHA, dehydration
removes the effects of tanning.
* Clean the skin, emulsifying cream or cleanser. (Remove all dead
skin)
* Apply (pre-treatment, Abdoline {AB-Do-Lean} - available at most
drug stores) or a moisturizer to areas that have
cracks, such as hands, elbows, knees, feet and ears.
* Use a spray application of DHA and leave on for several hours to
days. Try not to sit for a few hours to permit
uninterrupted skin contact.
* Reapply DHA solutions to maintain the skins moisture and allow
for continued chemical reaction.
* Use baby soaps that are gentle to the skin and don't scrub again
or you will likely flake the skin, giving you that
"mottled" appearance.
* Use several coats to produce the darkest most even coverage.
* Using any product, like baby oil with a petroleum based product,
will result in breaking down the DHA bases and
streak or run your product.
After Competitions
After the competition the athlete showers and the majority of the
color washes off, the rest fades evenly. This is
very important if you have another competition or photo shoot.
Using the hand application system leaves you looking like you have
Leprosy for up to a month later. Scrubbing and oil
baths do not remove the color. Only the actual shedding of the
skin will work, which takes several weeks.
