Let's talk about the elephant on the beach: tanning from the sun feels amazing in the moment, but it's one of the fastest ways to age your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer. Yet we all want that radiant, golden look. So what's the move?
The answer is simple: separate the aesthetic of tanned skin from the method of getting it.
What actually happens when you tan in the sun
A tan isn't a sign of health - it's a sign of damage. When UV rays hit your skin, they penetrate deep enough to damage DNA in your skin cells. Your body responds by producing melanin (the pigment that darkens skin) as a defense mechanism. Basically, your tan is your skin's SOS signal.
Over time, UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging, sunspots, and leathery texture. And we're not just talking decades down the line — sun damage starts accumulating in your twenties.
What a healthy glow actually looks like
A healthy glow comes from well-hydrated, nourished skin with even tone and natural radiance. It's the kind of skin that looks lit from within - not from baking under harsh rays. Think dewy, smooth, and luminous.
Drinkable tanning drops like Glowjob No.1 give you the bronzed aesthetic without any of the damage. You're enhancing your skin's color through natural carotenoid pigments (beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin) that deposit in your skin tissue. These are the same compounds that give carrots, sweet potatoes, and mangoes their vibrant colors - and they create a warm, golden glow in your skin.
No UV. No premature aging. Just color.
The Bonus: Antioxidants While You Glow
Unlike sun exposure, which generates free radicals that break down healthy skin, Glowjob No.1 is packed with vitamins A, C, and E - powerful antioxidants that actually support skin health. Beta-carotene itself is a potent antioxidant that helps protect your skin from oxidative stress.
You're getting the vacation look while actively protecting and nourishing your skin. That's the definition of a win-win.
You Can Have Both: Glow and Protection
We're not here to shame anyone for loving the sun. But if you care about keeping your skin healthy, youthful, and radiant long-term, it's worth rethinking how you get your glow. SPF during the day + drinkable tanning drops for color = the smartest skincare strategy you can have.
Get the glow, skip the damage. Shop Glowjob No.1 for safe, radiant skin.
