A senior Trump administration official has said that President Trump’s complexion is a result of “good genes”.
The official told the New York Times that the president only applies a touch of translucent powder before television appearances.
The White House response came after several claims were made in various books by people formerly close to the President.
In former FBI Director James Comey’s tell-all book, he claimed that Mr Trump had “bright white half-moons” under his eyes which he suggests come from tanning goggles.
He added that Mr Trump’s face “appeared slightly orange.”
While former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed in her 2018 memoir that Mr Trump had a tanning contraption installed inside the White House.
She claimed that Mr Trump tans in the mornings so that he will look good for the rest of the day.
Ms Manigault Newman added that Trump was alone in the room that contains his tanning bed while he sent out his famous “covfefe” tweet.
However in the piece published by the New York Times, three sources who spent time in the White House said that there is not a tanning bed in the premises.
A top Washington dermatologist told the Times that it is possible that Mr Trump uses tanning creams or lotions to achieve his look.
Dr. Tina Alster said: "He looks more orangey than he does tan."
The Times claims that Mr Trump has complained at how his complexion looks during television addresses and therefore events in the White House are more dimly lit than in previous administrations.
