Self-tanner

Who hasn’t dreamed of having a tanned complexion, a “return from vacation” effect, while still in the gloom? Today we explain how it works and give you all its tips for applying your self-tanner correctly.

Self-tanning, how does it work?

Self-tanning is a product that allows you to obtain a more or less pronounced tan, without needing to be exposed to the sun. All thanks to DHA, an active agent (but not harmful when dosed correctly, don’t worry) that will colour the skin. The customers are often seen making bulk tanning lotion orders because they consider this as their favourite product.

The progressive self-tanner is the star of our summer vanity. Before the exhibition look good or after extending the holidays, here are three good reasons to adopt this new beauty gesture.

It’s More Natural

If you have a negative image of the classic self-tanner, it’s time to put away your prejudices. Because these new treatments gradually activate melanin and thus slowly but surely develop a caramel and even complexion. Little risk of going the wrong way or surprising our perplexed colleagues because we have “tanned” overnight.

It’s Modular

With the progressive self-tanner, we choose a tailor-made tan. The colour of the skin changes daily, we are free to insist more on one area than on another or to catch up on misses to better gild it. On this point…

It’s Less Risky

Unlike instant, it’s much harder to smudge and much easier to catch. This is one of the advantages of the product. Its downside? It requires a bit of patience, of course.

How long does the self-tanner last?

The dead cells of the upper layer of the epidermis are eliminated during the phenomenon of desquamation of the skin, it is for this reason that the effect of self-tanners is limited in time. Depending on the individual, the skin is renewed in 4 to 6 days, the tan obtained is eliminated naturally with the dead cells. The regular application increases the intensity of the tan.

Are self-tanners dangerous?

DHA is not absorbed through the skin and is not toxic to the body. Applying a Riviera Tan tanning treatment to the face and body, therefore, has no harmful effect on the body;

DHA has been declared safe and suitable for cosmetic use for skin colouring by the Food and Drug Administration, the US government department responsible for pharmacovigilance. The use of our self-tanners can be regular and prolonged without any risk.

The customers are recommended to use quality self-tanners that are made with quality ingredients like coconut oil, vitamin E, aloe vera etc. These ingredients will ensure that the moisture of the skin is also preserved and these ingredients also boost the strength of the skin and give a glowing effect. A good self Tanner would not create blotches, dark spots or streaks and give a finishing look to your skin.
