If you want to achieve that bronzed look safely and incur no sun damage from tanning beds or prolonged exposure to the sun, self-tanners are the only way to go! Self tanners have come a long way since the 60's and are no longer smelly and create orange stains.

The active ingredient in all self-tanners is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). A chemical reaction starts between the self-tanner and the dead cells on the top layer of the skin as soon as the product is applied. The cells turn brown creating the look of a tan instantly or gradually depending on the self tanning formula used.

The FDA considers DHA safe as a self-tanning ingredient and it is not absorbed through the skin.

Self-tanners are a stain and last about three to four days. As they naturally exfoliate, the tan fades so plan on reapplying every few days to maintain your "tan".

1. whether you prefer a lotion, spray, or mousse.
   


2. If you have dry skin, choose Sun Labs Self-Tanning Micro Mist.

1. Exfoliate prior to using a self-tanner. This gives you a more even application, reduces streaking, dark elbows, knees and ankles!
   


2. Never apply a self tanner with your hands. Wear disposable gloves you can purchase or use a sponge applicator. If you do apply with your hands and need to remove it, use in a pump or single use packets.
   


3. If you want a darker tan, apply self-tanner on consecutive days to create the shade you want.
   


4. Apply moisturizer everyday to hydrate the skin and help maintain the tan.
