"Sunless" tanning products

Artificial tanning products, also known as “sunless” or “self-tanning” products, are solutions that contain the substance dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA acts by interacting with the most superficial (corneal) layer of the skin, generating a change in color. They should be applied homogeneously, with cotton, daily for four days. To maintain their effect, their use should be repeated once or twice every week. To obtain a uniform tan these products should be applied at night, after bathing and over dry skin. Users should wait at least fifteen minutes after applying these products before wearing clothes. Hands and nails should be washed after use of the products, to prevent staining. DHA-based products should not be used in children.
