Spray tanning is a great way to keep your summer glow even in winter. It’s easy, you don’t need to be in the sun and your skin doesn’t have to be exposed to UV rays.
Spray tanning or sunless tanning is when spray tanning products contain elements like dihydroxyacetone (or DHA) to give the body a sparkling appearance. The FDA approved element is a carbohydrate that can be derived from glycerin, or other plant sources such as sugarcane. DHA is colorless but can interact with amino acids in skin cells. This interaction causes darkening. The darker your skin gets, the more DHA and the tan you apply. You cannot wash off spray tans easily because of the way the elements interact.
It is possible for your sheets to become discolored after applying a tan. Patricia Melrich MD, a Ohio-based dermatologist and assistant professor at Ohio State University’s dermatology, says this is due to the dye used in these products. Melrich says that a fake tan lasts for only about one week, as the skin’s top layer sheds every seven to ten days. You also lose the colored proteins.
