Skin tanning without sun
Expert tips for a long-lasting and healthy tan
Softly tanned skin is beautiful, but the sun's UV radiation can also damage your skin's health. This dilemma can be resolved if you follow our tips. Because you can get a tan even without the sun, completely without harming your skin's health. Here you'll learn how and what you should keep in mind.
Die Haut bräunen ohne Sonne, dafür mit Selbstbräuner
Self-tanners come in various forms, such as lotions, sprays, mousses, or wipes. They typically contain the active ingredient DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with the upper layers of the skin to darken them. Self-tanning products allow you to achieve a tan without spending even a minute in the sun. You can control the intensity of the tan by adjusting the frequency and duration of application.
Here are some tips for using self-tanners:
- Exfoliate your skin beforehand to ensure an even result.
- Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands!
- Make sure to apply the self-tanner evenly!
- Particularly dry areas of skin absorb the tanner more readily, so use less product on these spots!
- Allow the self-tanner to dry thoroughly before covering your skin!
- Avoid letting your skin come into contact with water for the next 4 to 8 hours so the tanner can develop its full effect.

Supporting a natural tan through diet
Certain nutrients can slightly intensify your skin's tan. The pigment beta-carotene is particularly important in this regard. It is found in foods such as pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, and spinach. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that the body converts into vitamin A. Incorporating plenty of beta-carotene-rich foods into your diet can help you achieve a tan without sun exposure. Alternatively—or in addition—you can use tanning capsules. These supplements contain beta-carotene and other nutrients that can support a healthy summer tan. However, the same rule applies: while you may get a tan, your skin remains unprotected against UV radiation. So, be sure to use sunscreen!
