The Facts
-
According to kidshealth.org, factors influencing cellulite include genetics, age, skin type and the amount of fat on the body. Cellulite can produce a lumpy form on the thighs, stomach and butt. Tanning cannot reduce the dimpled formations but it can minimize the appearance of cellulite.
Outdoor Tanning
-
Many people use tanning to reduce cellulite but exposure to the sun only produces a darkened hue on the skin. It does not eliminate cellulite. However, the darker shade will mask the texture of the dimpled skin, which is more obvious with lighter skin.

Indoor Tanning Beds
-
Indoor tanning treatments also help to mask the appearance of cellulite. Indoor tanning beds produce UV rays to darken skin. The use of indoor tanning lotions help to moisturize the skin, too.
Sunless Tanners
-
Sunless tanners and bronzers offer a temporary tan. When applied evenly, sunless tanners and accelerators with bronzers darken areas of the skin without exposure to the sun or indoor bulbs.
Warning
-
When tanning to reduce the appearance of cellulite, make sure that skin is protected from harmful rays. If tanning outdoors, make sure that lotions and accelerators offer SPF protection.
