How does our self-tanner work?

How does our self-tanner work?

Our self-tanners contain DHA, a natural ingredient derived from sugar cane. DHA reacts with dead skin cells in the upper layer of the skin, creating a tan—without the sun or UV rays. The tan develops within 2 to 6 hours and lasts an average of 5 to 10 days.

Is self-tanner safe?

Yes. DHA is approved by international health authorities and has been used safely in cosmetics for years. Avoid contact with eyes and lips, and test on a small area first if you have sensitive skin. Our SolaVita Tanning Lotion contains vitamin E for extra nourishment and hydration.

Self-tanner vs. the sun

UV rays can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. With a self-tanner, you can achieve the same tanned effect, but without the damage. You control the intensity and prevent sunburn – ideal for fair or sensitive skin.

Will I still get a tan in the sun?

Yes. A self-tanner only provides color, but doesn't protect against UV rays. So you can still get burned. Always use sunscreen on top of your self-tanner.

Always use sunscreen

The tan from a self-tanner does not provide UV protection. Apply sunscreen when going outside, even on cloudy days. Wait until the self-tanner has fully absorbed.
