Self tanning spray is easy to use and it requires specific frequency of application, depending on the skin type and tone. For example, fair-haired people should use the spray less frequently, for better safety. Needless to say, the self tanning spray do not protect against real sun. So, a sunscreen is a must outdoor (after the spray was sputtered on the skin).
The active ingredient is the familiar DHA, the sugar molecule. Recently, a new ingredient has been introduced, Erythrulose,which produces a deep dark tan. The combination includes a few botanical ingredients such as Walnut and Caramel to moisturise the skin and for its complete hydration. These two natural elements provide a beautifully looking tan in a very protective manner with no sun around.
Concerning application, while using an aerosol as an applicator it’s unadvisable to touch the liquid spread on the body. It is useful to know that most self tanning sprays have formulas that protect sensitive skin against all kinds of irritations. The greatest improvement is that today’s self tanning spray has an optimum DHA and Erythrulose proportion to guarantee the expected benefits for sunless tanners.
Most sunless tanning sprays claim to be oil free, non-alcohol, non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic. Others keep informing the consumers about their fast-drying and non-streaking features. The ability of applying a spray from any angle is a plus. That radiant tanning look usually lasts a few days; any diminishing in that glittering look invites to a new application of the tanning spray for a refreshing of the self tan.
