I suggest it if you want a deep tan on warm days and like a light, non-greasy gel more than a rich lotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDHA (dihydroxyacetone) builds the tan in the top layer of the skin, while a chocolate-brown tint from caramel and vegetable carbon shows you where you have applied it. Mica gives an instant golden glow. The gel feels cool on the skin, even more so if you keep the tube in the fridge. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid help hold moisture. Leave it on for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours for the darkest colour, then shower it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood to know: the cooling feel comes partly from alcohol, and the gel is scented with coconut and vanilla (contains parfum, benzyl salicylate and hexyl cinnamal). So it is not ideal for very dry skin or skin that reacts to fragrance. And like every self-tan, it gives colour, not sun protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f2e9e1;border-left:4px solid #f04557;padding:20px 22px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e🔬 How does self-tan work, and is it safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 0;min-width:0;background:#fffaf6;padding:10px 8px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:600;color:#f04557;line-height:1.15;\"\u003eTop layer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:0.78em;line-height:1.3;color:#2d231f;\"\u003eonly the outermost skin cells are coloured\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 0;min-width:0;background:#fffaf6;padding:10px 8px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:600;color:#f04557;line-height:1.15;\"\u003e10%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:0.78em;line-height:1.3;color:#2d231f;\"\u003eDHA judged safe in self-tan lotions (EU)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 0;min-width:0;background:#fffaf6;padding:10px 8px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:600;color:#f04557;line-height:1.15;\"\u003eSPF ≈ 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:0.78em;line-height:1.3;color:#2d231f;\"\u003ealmost no sun protection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eDHA is a simple sugar.
