The main ingredient in sunless tanning products is C3H603 or DHA(dihydroxyacetone). The colorless 3 carbon sugar is derived from sugarcane, sugar beets and the fermentation of glycerin. This binds with the first layer of skin. These dead skin cells do not reproduce but contain keratin which is responsible for skin coloration.
The DHA chemically reacts with the keratin in the skin cells resulting in darkening effect. This effect is influenced by several factors such as skin type, thickness, ph levels, medication and dryness. The type of product used will greatly influence consistency, hue, and intensity of the tan.
We use Norvell Sunless products because of the quality of the ingredients used in their products. Exfoliation prior to your spray tan service is very important to optimize this reaction and create the best tan for your skin. Removing the loose and dead skin cells allows the product to be applied to the freshest layer of skin for even application and prolonging of the tan.
What causes "orange" looking spray tans? High PH levels in the skin will cause that dreaded orange effect. Neutralizing the acidity or basicity of the skin by applying a XLa Tan ph balancing spray boosts amino acid levels and will maximize your sunless coloir results.
If you properly prepare your skin by exfoliating and neutralizing the ph on the skin, your results will be maximized. This is what I do for our clients and what makes the difference!
