Why do tanning beds/fake tans make people orange?
602455
I go to a tanning bed, and I have a very deep dark tan, it is not orange in color but brown to tan color and I do not consider it a fake tan. A fake tan is one that comes out of a bottle (Sunless tanning lotion). Some tanning lotions that you can purchase at tanning beds have bronzers in them which will make you orange in color, My best advise is to make sure that the tanning lotion you are using does not have any type of bronzer in it.

When the sun hasn't been shining, go to a tanning salon and ask for the bed that isn't for the purpose of tanning but is for the purpose of sunlight.  Where I live it costs about $6.00 and is well worth the money.  In addition, you might want to get some anti-depressants for the winter to help with what seems to be seasonal affect disorder.  This is a common disorder and is easily treated.  Don't spend each winter being miserable.

I hate the lay down beds as well. I always use the stand up ones and I seem to tan evenly all over and there is no turning invloved, just stand there and get tannned all over. I also like the fact that you arn't laying where someone else was just minutes before you.

Well it's like lemons are called lemons, and that is also a color. It could be whoever brought oranges to this country or even Europe called them oranges because of the color. Not knowing what they were at the time. Just made it easier to describe them. you know those orange things. they know the color, but not the fruit. So that could be how they were named. Hope this hellps you.

The setting sun glows a reddish color on days when there are more particles in the air for the light to be scattered by.\nTypically, because the sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere when it is 4 degrees above the horizon as opposed to when it is directly above, there are already more particles in the air to scatter the light, so the sunset appears orange because the smaller wavelengths of visible light (blue, green, yellow) are scattered away from our eye.\nThe more particles (and the larger they are) that are in the atmosphere (water vapor particles due to humid air, pollution), the more wavelengths of light can be scattered.  So orange will get scattered away leaving only red coming to our eyes.

About the colour - can't be from surfing or from the sun. Two possible explanations:\n1) You had the gene from one of your parents fully expressed, and now the other parent's gene kicked-in and the colour of your eyes changed (happens a lot with hair colour).\n2) Ask your friends and find-out whether you all eat some kind of food regularly, especially red or orange vegetables. These vegetables have a stuff called carotene in them, and when you eat a lot of it your eyes tend to get coloured orange and a bit lighter. This is not dangerous in any way, but if you want it to stop just eat less carrots/tomatoes/etc.\n\nGood luck :).

I'm on the search for the same thing. I tried Jergensen's Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer, and it sucked with a capital S. It turned me orange, came off on my clothes, and smelled bad. Also, when i exfoliated w/ a washcloth, the ENTIRE tan came off. Seriously, it was supremely weird. Just thought I should warn you off that one . . .\nlol, good luck.

YOU CAN NOT PURCHASE THE CHEAP STUFF OR IT WILL TURN YOUR SKIN ORANGE. TRY THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES. THEY DO WORK.

There is lotion that will protect you from burn rays of the sun and thus help your tan get darker.  There are also self tanning lotions you can use indoors to get a fake tan.

Yes, tanning beds are bad for you.  They do have a skin cancer risk & they may also have hygeine problems .... think of all the sweat & germs from previous users & how efficiently the tanning bed may or may not have been disinfected.  Not to mention the possibility of hidden spy cameras posting your naked pale body on risque internet sites!\nSeriously though, suntans, either natural or from a tanning bed, increase the risk of melanoma & certainly bring on premature sking ageing.

A nice white shirt - not just an undershirt, but a nice shirt.  But then I got to thinking about, (I used to work at a tanning salon), and I started getting mental images of all the guys who came tanning and different colors that would work... If you've got a nice tan it won't matter what color you're wearing... it will be noticable.  But the colors I imagined were nice bold colors... nothing pastel or real dark.  Just nice, vibrant colors.

because of melatonin.  Is a natural paint in our body that protect the skin from the sun...if you used a tanning lotion in a wrong way or if you stay for a long in the sun your skin will react and you will look like that...next time use properly the sun tan lotion and follow the direction of the bottle...never spend to many time under the sun...and don't worry it will fade with the time and the proper care...

Use the lotions they have now with a small amount of self tanner in them. In about two weeks you'll have a really nice, even, natural looking cancer free tan that won't age you one bit. I use them and they work great. I don't do the lying out in the sun thing anymore. I'd rather be white as ghost and still look 25 when I'm 45 than worship the sun and look like a raisin by the time I'm 35.

It is a fact that when ultraviolet light touches your skin it causes your body to naturally produce vitamin D. Vitamin D has been linked to treat and/or prevent many diseases and conditions. For example, Dr. Holick Professor of Medicine, Dermatology, Physiology, and Biophysics at the Boston University Medical Center has found substantial evidence that the Vitamin D you get from tanning can help with the following diseases and conditions:\n\n    * Breast Cancer\n    * Colon Cancer\n    * Depression (Nonseasonal)\n    * Fybromyalgia\n    * High Blood Pressure\n    * Multiple Sclerosis\n    * Osteomalacia\n    * Osteoporosis\n    * Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)\n    * Prostate Cancer\n    * Psoriasis\n    * Rheumatoid Arthritis\n    * Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)\n    * Type 1 Diabetes\n    * Type 2 Diabetes
