How Skin Get Tan?
Skin has particular type of cells called Melanocytes that
produces pigment known as Melanin. This pigment, melanin is responsible for
tanning. Melanin is produced in melanocytes in the response of ultraviolet rays
from sun. This ultraviolet (UV) sunlight stimulates the production of melanin in
the skin cells that has the effect of absorbing the UV radiation in sunlight and
helps in protecting the skin from UV damage. Tanning is a gradual process that
takes fair amount of time, that’s why you cannot get a tan in one or two days.
Most sunscreens also use ingredients that have the same UV-absorbing properties,
and therefore help in tanning and prevent sunburn.

Tanning Supplements
For those who want golden yellow natural tan and want to have a
natural glow and shine in their skin but do not have enough time to expose their
body in sunlight or to apply different kind of herbal masks and tanning
products, they should have to pay a little bit extra for it to maintain skin
tone and shininess. [3]
For such people, beauty from the inside out trend will be useful
that is growing across the world. There is a concept of Vitamin-enriched beauty
that is gaining popularity. Vitamins have enriched topical beauty products and
taking vitamins to enhance natural beauty is now become a trend. One of the
natural skin tanning supplement is Elusun that helps in achieving a golden tan
and softer, silkier skin in a healthy way. Elusun is enriched in natural
carotenes, vitamins and essential fatty acids that are good for the beautiful
and vibrant skin. [4]
Elusun- A Natural Tanning Supplement
Elusun is used worldwide for tanning purpose. It helps in
promoting natural glow and tone of the skin before and after tanning. It also
helps in preventing sunburn and skin damage.
[5]
Tanning pills are available in three different forms; pills
containing caretenoid pigments like Elusun, pills containing tyrosine like Mayan
Secrets and pills that practically do not contain anything like deep tan.
The ability of skin to get tan depends on two factors: the amount
of melanin in the skin and the amount of UV radiation body is exposed to.
Products like Elusun that contain beta carotene are favorable for tanning
purpose.
This trend of taking food supplements to get tan is getting very
popular among those who think they don't have the time or the money to spend on
it because it is the most convenient and safe way to get tan when compared with
using expensive tanning beds and visiting the tanning salons and using different
tanning masks and products. [6]
