They're both pigment in the skin due to UV light aren't they?

wilsonaj101177 is right. I'm wondering about a sun tan verses a salon tan.

I can always tell an artificial tan because it doesn't cover the eyelids at all (I always think it looks a little silly)

Maybe because some people use accelerator/bronzing lotions in the tanning salons, which makes the skin look a bit orange, or unnatural.

I don't know the answer but maybe people are misunderstanding the question? Based on his statement in additional details it sounds like he's asking why outdoor suntans look different from tanning bed suntans.

yes, but a "natural" tan is natural, and an artificial tan is just a close-copy

Simply because one is natural and the other is artificial..what you suppose as an explanation?

because a natural tan doesn’t use artificial fillers and is non fat.
