All shades of fake tan have different undertones – and naturally, some will work better on various skin tones than others. For example, if you have pink undertones or paleness to your skin, go for a product that has a green base. For darker skin, a violet-based product is best to avoid unnatural-looking results. Choose the right formula for youWhilst DHA is approved for use in lotions, and the tanning effect it produces is non-toxic, its use in spray tanning booths is a little more of a grey area. This is because it’s entirely possible that ingestion or inhalation of DHA could occur during the process. There are no confirmed effects on the body at the concentrations used in tanning lotions or spray tans, but a study using much higher concentrations did find that DNA damage was observed in bacteria cells. However, the relevancy of the findings of this study to any mutagenic activity in humans has been disputed. Other studies have found that some DHA from tanning lotions is absorbed by living skin tissue (as much as 11%), but it’s unclear if this has any effect on the body. If you are using fake tan as instructed, it is generally safe for your skin. However, remember to do a patch test first, moisturise, and avoid going overboard. Can you fake tan while pregnant? The Hempz Dark DHA Bronzer is equipped with natural hemp seed oil. It’s 100-percent pure, so it does an excellent job of hydrating, nourishing, and conditioning your skin. Tanned skin feels and looks even better when it’s smooth, soft, and moist. But if the issue is your sensitive skin, then you can fix those side effects by yourself. Provided they’re not severe! The most important thing to remember when using DHA self-tanners is that they do not protect your skin against the sun. Although DHA does provide some UV protection and many products contain additional sunscreen, the UV protection provided is much more short-lived than the skin colour change. The stated SPF for the product is only applicable for a few hours after application of the self-tanner.

The Chemistry of Fake Tan - Compound Interest

We took the decision several years ago to stop using solid plastic particles in our new product development across our entire wash off portfolio, and started the process of substituting this ingredient with natural alternatives. We completed the reformulation of those products which did contain plastic micro particles at the end of 2015 and despite it often being a lengthy process to properly validate safe and effective alternatives that do not compromise the performance of the product, we are proud to have successfully achieved this. St.Tropez Self Tan contains a higher concentration of the tanning agent (DHA), which provides a natural looking tan that lasts up to 5 days after just one application. Self Tan Classic, Express and Dark contain a tinted guide colour for ease of application (so you can’t miss any patches) and also benefit from an instant wearable colour while your self tan develops underneath. Self Tan should ideally be left to develop between 4 to 8hrs (excluding Express) before showering off the tinted guide colour to reveal your natural-looking tan. The developed colour will then last between 3 and 10 days depending on which product was used and how the tan is maintained. Fake tan contains DHA, a harmless chemical that reacts with the proteins in your skin to give you a golden shade. Once applied to the skin, DHA works its magic by darkening the outer layer. Allow the lotion to fully absorb and dry naturally before getting dressed to allow it to evenly sink into your skin. Be sure to give your hands a good wash to rinse off any excess residue.
