The many benefits of Sunless Tanning, should be carefully considered the next time you are tempted to slather on sunblock and lie out in the sun. How Self-Tanners (DHA) Work? DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is used as a self-tanning agent. It does not produce a "real tan" by increasing skin melanin levels, but it can create the tan appearance by developing a brown skin colouring. The action of DHA is limited to the upper layer of the skin and involves a reaction between DHA and skin proteins. DHA reacts with the amino acids and amino groups of the skin's keratin-forming brown-colored compounds. The process takes place in the outer layers of the epidermis. In this reaction, reducing sugars combine with amino acids, proteins and peptides to form various amino carbonyl compounds via a complex chain of reactions, which is not yet completely understood. The development of color takes anywhere from 2 - 4 hours and the intensity is dependent on the formulation concentration of the DHA in the product. Proper skincare before and after your sunless application will help you maximize the life of your beautiful tan so you can enjoy it day after day!
