This past week, I received all kinds of emails in regards to a variety of Sun Care questions. So, because I think Sun Protection is soooo super important, I decided to dedicate this whole week to Sun Care Facts – to help you stay protected and informed!
Here are your Friday Fun Facts from Hawaiian Tropic (www.hawaiiantropic.com):
How Do Sunless Tanning Products Work?

How Do I Use A Sunless Tanning Product?

Can A “Sunless” Tan Be Removed?

What If I Still Want To Tan?
For best results, use the sunless tanning product after showering and exfoliating the skin. Rinse skin well; other skincare products, such as moisturizers, soap residue, etc. can interfere with the action of the DHA.
Apply generously and evenly, blending quickly until lotion is completely absorbed. Use spar-ingly around hairline, knees, ankles, and elbows. Wash hands with soap and water immediately after application. Avoid contact with clothing until product dries. Allow 2-3 hours for results. Apply again if darker color is desired; reapply once daily to maintain color. Initially, more than one application may be required to reach the desired color.
The color produced by a sunless tanning product does not wash off; it simply fades as the upper layers of the epidermis wear away. You can try to speed the exfoliation process by scrubbing the skin with a washcloth or loofah sponge. It may take a week or more for the “tanned” skin to disappear.
