Emma Roberts: What to Do in Very Light Skin?

For Emma Roberts, niece of Hollywood star Julia Roberts, acting is virtually something she was born with. Already at the age of 10 she made her debut as child star in the drug film Blow next to Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz. She was also getting hold of star roles in her childhood, such as in the US teen series Unfabulous, composed of 41 seasons, through which she became quite well known. Years later she gained publicity in the entertaining love comedy We’re the Millers.

The today only 24-year-old actress may justifiably be proud of her career and look confidently into the future. Even though her private life does not pass by impeccable presently – just recently she separated from her American Horror Story film colleague Evan Peters 6 month after they got engaged.

However, she lately disclosed in an interview to suffer from an unusual complex: It is her light skin because of which she got teased in her younger years. At that time she tried to counteract her light skin with the help of plentiful of self-tanning lotion. Today Emma laughs about her orange skin after tanning herself with self-bronzer.

Many of the people with light skin do not laugh, but suffer. Can we really do something, if the “noble paleness” is undesired and skin does not tan easily “by itself”?

If you prefer a natural tan there is no way around sunbathing, although it is known that UVA and UVB radiation from the sunlight induces damage of human genetic material and therefore encourages skin cancer and skin aging. Meanwhile even infrared radiation is suspected of playing a role in the so-called “photo aging”. Protection against these risks is warranted by an already tanned skin and of course protection from sunlight.

But not everyone produces the dark pigment melanin to the same extent and therefore tans equally quickly. Especially light skin types have a rough ride – already after a short time in the sun they get a painful, and above all, dangerous sunburn, which mostly occurs before getting the desired tan.

This is where a treatment with melanotropin can help to make skin resistant more quickly. The hormone stimulates the body’s own production of the dark pigment melanin, whereby skin is getting apparently darker and an autologous protection against dangerous UV light is developed. Thus sunburns can be prevented to a certain degree and “photo aging” can as well be decelerated.

If tiny wrinkles and light-induced skin damage due to excessive sunbathing or solarium are already existing, hyaluronic acid and collagen in the form of Perfect Skin by DDr. Heinrich® Beauty Drink or Powder can provide a remedy. They nourish your skin and help it to regenerate.

One medical treatment possibility would be a therapy with the body’s own stem cells, which are extracted from autologous fat tissue and directly injected into skin areas concerned. Right there their regenerative effect can happen and provide your skin more freshness and vitality.

Emma’s disgrace due to her self-tanning experiment could have been spared with the help of medical support. With a treatment with melanotropin she would not have had to forego attractive, tenderly tanned skin and would have done something good to her skin in addition. This treatment is officially in the testing phase at the moment and therefore is not that easy accessible for the average consumer, but who knows, as Hollywood stars indeed do have good relationships, maybe Emma already uses them to get tanned.
