Self Tan Lotions Interact With Your Skin to Give you a Natural Looking Tan in Minutes
All self tanning lotions use the same active ingredient, DHA or dihydroxyacetone . DHA works with the amino acid found in the skin cells on the surface. These two chemicals interact to create the tanning effect on your skin. Different self tanning products contain different amounts of DHA. Your skin will become darker with products that contain more DHA. DHA is also what causes the unique smell in the self tanning product. Some companies have gone through a lot of trouble to mask this smell , but there will still be a special, distinctive, pronounced scent.
When you begin to use a self tanning product, go with one that has less of the ingredient, DHA. It will not appear natural to have a drastic change in coloring, from pasty white to golden brown instantly.
Fake Tan lotions have improved immensely since they were first introduced. If you properly choose a sunless tanning product, and use it correctly, you will achieve a natural looking tan, without all of the ill effects of the sun.
