Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have some concerns about sunless tanning products, and I want to see if anyone else knows more about the topic. I've noticed a lot of mentions of certain sunless tanners being suggested as healthy alternatives to natural tans, and in terms of exposure to UV rays I'd wager that this is mostly correct. However, I've encountered some literature discussing how fake tans might not be as healthy as previously thought. You can find them here, and here.The source of a DHA-based sunless tan lies in a Maillard reaction, or a form of non-enzymatic glycation. Glycation directly leads to stiffening of collagen and elastin fibers, and is responsible for what many call "sugar sag" in the skin of many diabetics. Not only this but the research cited in these two articles suggests that DHA-treated skin generates a 180% increase in free radicals compared to normal skin along with impaired Vitamin D production and possible DNA damage.From my own knowledge I'm aware of the fact that already existent advanced glycation end products are notoriously impossible to break at this point in time, at least in the form of glucosepine. Modern science has ways of slowing down formation of AGE's, and I'm aware of some substances that have seemed to show a positive effect on slowing signs of glycation in skin, but this research has really turned me off using conventional fake tans. I'm aware of DHA-free options which makes use of erythrulose, but those too function using the same chemistry.Does anyone else know anything about this topic? Is there are any up and coming form of fake tan which might make glycation-based methods irrelevant?
