Question by Bree: This is THE answer to the removing self tannerquestion that seems to be so popular!? I have the way to remove self tanner. I’ve done it dozens of times when I’ve gotten a little heavy on the cream. First you go buy one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, just the plain one. Then you get a natural oil like Sesame and pour some into the Magic Eraser. You gently rub the area where you went too heavy on the tan and it will slough off in no time! This sounds ridiculous but I promise it works like a charm. You can even use this method when you have small areas that you’ve goofed like wrists or knees.

Is Fake Tan A Safe Tan?
Ultra violet free tanning or self tanning which is also known as sunless tanning is a process in which chemicals are applied on the skin to produce an outcome similar in look to a conventional suntan. This process is known as fake tan. During the 1960s it was discovered that there is a link between skin cancer and exposure to the sun which resulted in the growth of fake tan.
Dihydroxyaceton (DHA) is the dynamic component in the sunless or self tanning lotions available in the market. DHA is not paint or a stain or a dye which produces the tan. The chemical reaction between DHA and amino acids in the dead layer on the surface of the skin causes the skin to tan. This chemical reaction is similar to the browning process during the manufacturing process of food. Fake tan obtained with the use of sunless or self tanning lotions does not involve any pigmentation of skin and there is no need for exposure to ultra violet rays. The chemical reaction obtained with the use of DHA is not toxic and does not harm the skin. It does not cause any damage to the skin whereas exposure to UV sometimes causes damage to it. The fake tan has a very short term effect and will change gradually over a week’s period.
In some people the chemical Dihydroxyacetone in the sunless tanning lotion might cause skin problems so it is better to apply the lotion to a small patch of skin. If no adverse reaction in the skin is noticed within 24 hours than it can be applied all over the body to get a fake tan.
By using various sunless tanning products in the form of sprays, wipes, mousses, lotions or gels, a fake tan can be obtained at home. To obtain best results, apply the sunless tan lotion on dry and clean skin. Until the product is fully absorbed it is advisable not to take a bath or go swimming. Within one to six hours the product normally gets absorbed by the skin. Since thicker skin on the feet and hand absorbs more DHA it is necessary to either skip these areas or clean these areas immediately after applying the sunless tan lotion.
Since we get what we pay for, it is necessary to use a brand of tan which is considered safe and which has acquired a good reputation among the users. St. Tropez is known to be the favorite among the Hollywood stars and other celebrities. Fak, Clinque, Clarins are some of the other popular and luxury brand of fake tan products.

Question by ashlynn18: self tanner? I am currently using the jergens natural glow daily moisterizer in the dark color and it looks really natural. The only problem is it is not dark enough. I have been using it for a month so I know i have enough applications. Does anyone know any NATURAL looking self tanners that look really good. I am having my picture taken for my liscence in a week and want to look like I have a dark natural tan. Thank you so much for your responses.

Question by realitytest: Looking fof a self-tanner/bronzer without sunscreen.? Last year I used Neutrogena bronzer/self-tanner foam and liked it very much, but it looks like they have discontinued it.
I am looked for a product that meets all of these criteria:
1. Has an instant bronzer.
When there is instant color, I can see if there are places I don’t have enough product or too much. Without the instant color, I have to wait and see and hope for the best.
2. Has a good self-tanner.
3. Does not contain sunscreen.
I use it primarily on my legs and because my legs don’t get much sun, I want to let the natural sun in to get a bit of real tan.

Question by poohbear doesn’t give a F**K: Why all the sudden, did everywhere stop carrying Salon Bronze self tanning spray? I am so annoyed because i Love Salon Bronze self tanning spray. I have been using the spray for years and now….NO WHERE HAS IT!!!!! It works awsome and as soon as i spray myself with it, i am tan! No waiting 2-4 hours for the tan to develope and not knowing how well you applied the stuff like all the other self tanning sprays Walgreens use to always have it, along with many other stores…. Now, nobody has it! I am so bummed!!!!
Does anybody know the reason for this???

Answer by misskate12001 Perhaps the manufacturer stopped making it. Google the company and look it up.
