Skin Tone

Once Upon a Time in Hawaii...
Skin Tone’s creation started in Honolulu, Oahu. I was working on the island, and focused on acquiring the perfect island tan! Alas, no matter how careful I was, I always burned and by the following week – I started to peel. This became a frustrating routine until I realized I was going to end up with melanoma or go broke buying Aloe Vera gel.
Ever the optimist, I needed a revolutionary product to finally address skin protection. Chemical-laden sunscreen – harmful to people and oceans – was not the answer. I began to analyze which specific nutrients the sun’s ultra-violet rays were robbing from my skin and causing me to burn n’ peel. Using samples of every nutrient available for health supplement production, I attempted a few combinations and eventually developed the winning formula to protect the skin and even take advantage of the sun’s rays. Success! Skin Tone (originally called “Stay Tan”) was born! After taking Skin Tone for a few weeks and prior to each sun session, I never burned again! Now, I am enviably tan and take Skin Tone regularly to promote melanin accumulation in my system.
How it Works
When skin is exposed to the ultra-violet rays of the sun, it instantly begins manufacturing melanin (skin pigment) to protect itself. A healthy level of melanin serves as a barrier to ultra-violet rays thereby preventing burns and sun damage to the skin. When the skin has a surplus of the right nutrients, it is capable of producing melanin even more rapidly. Interesting to note: applying sunscreen actually blocks ALL UV rays, thus prohibiting healthy melanin production. Over time, excessive use of sunscreen will result in skin that cannot tolerate sun unless covered by clothing or lacquered in sun lotion.
The proprietary blend of nutrients in Skin Tone’s formula offer a wealth of benefits:
- supports creation of healthy melanin for sun protection;
- establishes a healthy barrier for the skin and promotes a safe, natural tan;
- protects the skin while allowing the body to absorb the sun’s benefits which are critical for vitamin D production;
- contains anti-oxidants to combat the harmful effects from free-radicals caused by UV rays.
Taken regularly, Skin Tone works dramatically on the most sensitive people (fair-skinned redheads) as well as those who tan with ease. Even better: consistently building healthy melanin in the body can result in a tan that lasts beyond the summer months.
How to Take
Start by taking two Skin Tone, once a day for two to four weeks before full sun exposure.
On the day you will be enjoying the sun, take 2 Skin Tone 30 minutes before going outside. Use discretion and start moderately with no more than 20 to 30 minutes of direct exposure. NOTE: there must be sun exposure in order to activate the body’s own production of melanin.
For prolonged exposure outdoors, take 1 additional Skin Tone every two hours.
Use good judgment and if you feel you’ve had enough sun, take shade or cover up with a hat, clothing, etc. If a sunburn is experienced, continue taking 1 Skin Tone every 4 hours up to 6 a day. Drink plenty of water to hydrate and apply an oil-free aloe-vera lotion two to four times a day to minimize skin sensitivity. Eventually, as you adapt to more sun exposure, the melanin level will increase so not as much Skin Tone will be required.
Skin Tone can be taken on an empty stomach or with meals.
