How does spray tan solution
work?
The
active ingredient in the tanning solutions we use, both Liquid Sun and
Naked Tan, is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Whilst DHA may sound like a
dangerous chemical concoction, it is in fact a colourless sugar.
DHA causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids of the outer
most layer of the skin and it is this reaction that causes the colour of
the skin to change, producing a beautiful natural tan.
DHA
starts to react with the skin within 2 hours of the tan application and
continues to do so for several more hours, causing a darker reaction the
longer it is left to react with the skin. |
