ABSTRACT:
This invention relates generally to an improved medication and treatment to induce a "suntanned" appearance by tanning the skin of the user without the need for harmful exposure to the rays of the sun or to the rays of electrical lights that produce infrared and or ultra-violet light. This treatment may also serve to darken the color of some hair adjacent to the skin to which the materials of the treatment are applied. The treatment consists of application of topical tretinoin to the skin of a person combined with the application of a lotion containing ammonium lactate to the same skin area. When the treatment is continued on a basis of once or twice per day, the skin of the user assumes a uniform light brown color similar to the countenance of a suntanned appearance within a period of a few weeks. A slight ruddiness, similar to the ruddy color previously reported with the application of tretinoin, may be also noticeable, but this ruddiness or redness is of a different cast than the uniform light brown color produced on the skin by the treatment of the invention.
