Product Information

As a dermatologist, we always promote that the natural color of your skin is the most beautiful,” says board-certified dermatologist Scott Paviol. “‘Tanning’ is really your skin adapting to injury, specifically DNA damage, which increases the likelihood of future skin cancers by making more melanin. Therefore, any activity that you engage in where the goal is to tan the skin via sun exposure or a tanning bed is increasing your risk for skin cancer, and I don't advocate that.” I can't, in good conscience, recommend any tanning oils,” says Belkin. “Truly, the best behavior vis-a-vis the sun is to use sunscreens with SPF 50 or higher, cover up with hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing, and seek shade. If you want a tan, the only truly safe way for your skin health is to use sunless tanner or bronzers.”

Firstly, it's important to distinguish the differences between carrot oil and carrot seed oil. Carrot seed oil is an essential oil extracted from, as the name suggests, the seeds of carrots ( Daucus carota). The addition of carrot extract to these carrier oils can boost their vitamin A content and strengthen complexions even further, plus bolster their great antioxidant properties too. Does carrot oil help you tan?With that out of the way, here are some top tips on how to make the most of your carrot oil for tanning:

Fear not! Carrot Sun has done all the research for you in answer to these important questions so that you can get the best results from your sunbed sessions whilst tanning safely and caring for your skin. Both oils have very different benefits for our skin but should not ever be viewed as interchangeable, especially where tanning is concerned. What does carrot oil do to the skin? Heat the oil on low for 24 to 72 hours. Put the lid on the slow cooker and turn it on to low. Leave the oil to infuse with the carrots for 24 to 72 hours. The oil should start to turn orange as it infuses. [3] X Research source Please remember that carrot oil should only be used as a tan accelerator, not a sun protectant. Before heading out to the beach or the sunbeds, always apply an SPF product to your skin first. Blanche the carrot slices for three minutes. Get out a large bowl and fill it with ice water. Set it next to the stove. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the carrot slices and let them boil for three minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to scoop the carrots directly into the icy water in the bowl next to the stove. [7] X Research source
