I suggest it if your skin on the legs and arms tends to be dry and you want care and colour in one step, especially in autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDHA (dihydroxyacetone) builds the tan in the top layer of the skin, while a tint from caramel and vegetable carbon shows you right away where you have applied it. Cocoa butter, cupuaçu butter and coconut oil make the texture soft and nourishing, and glycerin and hyaluronic acid help hold moisture. Leave it on for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours for the deepest colour, then shower it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a tropical scent and contains fragrance and fragrance allergens such as limonene and linalool, so it is not for 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.
