Key Ingredients for Sunless Tanner:
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA): DHA is a tanning agent derived from plant sugars. DHA reacts chemically with the amino acids in the protein keratin, the major component of the skin surface. Different amino acids react to DHA in different ways, producing different tones of coloration. The resulting pigments are similar in coloration to melanin, the natural substance in the deeper skin layers which brown or "tan", from exposure to UV rays. DHA-based sunless tanning has been recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, American Academy of Dermatology Association, Canadian Dermatology Association and the American Medical Association as a safer alternative to sun-bathing.
Lactic Acid: Non-irritating, exfoliator facilitating rapid absorption of topical applications. Squalane: Increases the rate, depth, and extent of penetration of DHA and antioxidants. Helps protect and restore the moisture barrier.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Helps stimulate fibroblast production (a co-factor in collagen formation) for firmer skin tone. Provides antioxidant protection to reduce free radicals and guard against environmental damage.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): Helps reduce inflammation, calm irritation, and assist in the restoration and strengthening of healthy skin and immune defense.
Vitamin E: Antioxidant to fight free radical scavengers.

Step by step guide for getting the best results with Sunless Tanner:
- Before applying a self tanner, prep your skin by exfoliating with a scrub. This releases dead and dry skin and opens pathways for the sunless tanner to work better. We recommend our Exfoliating Cleanser.
- After exfoliation, apply moisturizer to any dry or calloused areas where the sunless tanner might pool or collect — inside and outside elbow, knuckles, knees, heels, etc. This ensures that the tanner will be absorbed evenly. We recommend our Olive, Fig, Shea Butter Body Cream.
- Smooth Sunless Tanner onto skin on face and body, massage in to blend evenly. Avoid eyes, brows and hairline.
Wash hands with soap and warm water to eliminate tanned palms and fingers. Delay contact with clothing until lotion is dry and postpone bathing or swimming for an hour after application.
- Reapply daily until desired tan is acquired and every 3 to 5 days to maintain tan. Tan deepens gradually and vitamins and hydrators help skin feel smooth and healthy. This product can be used to deepen or even out an existing natural or spray tan.
- Apply sunscreen if skin will be exposed to sun. Warnings
For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and eyelids. If contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water. If irritation develops, discontinue use. Consult doctor before applying to children under 6 months of age. Contains no sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn.

It smells good, doesn’t leave
"It smells good, doesn’t leave stains but I used already entire bottle and didn’t get dark. Was using every day."
Orange Tanning Color
"am not seeing the results I expected from the self tanner. I would not recommend skinauthority sunless tanner, unless you want to look like a florida orange. ."
Best tanner
"I have been using this tanner brand for over 10 years now, love it! Gives me a little tan without looking orange, but most importantly are the ingredients to me since I can’t put toxic ingredients on my skin"
Glowy
"Gives your skin a nice glow without the streaking."
Great tanner!

Sunless Tanner
"Best I’ve ever used. No smell and no streaks. Also, doesn’t irritate my skin."
Feels like a lotion but gives you the look of a tanner
"SO NATURAL. I have legitimately had people ask if I went on vacation. Plus it is super hydrating, so my skin feels great!"
My Review
"It has a great dry feel to it that acts as a mattifier and primer for your makeup. If you dislike greasy sunscreens that never absorb this is the complete opposite, it sinks right in and sets to a powdery finish that doesn't give off a white cast or film. Great for Oily skin types and I've never experienced a break out which a lot of SPF's can cause. As you can see the tube is an enormous 4 oz. so even with daily day use it will last a long time."
My Review
"I use this daily and have started my teenagers on it too to prevent sun damage. It's also a decent moisturizer."
