Just wondering if anyone can tell me which sunless fake tanners work the best (no orangey/yellow colors, streaking, which last longest, smell best, etc). Prices don't really matter...I'm looking for all different price ranges, really. I just want what looks the best, most natural, and lasts the longest. I have tried several different kinds and would like some opinions from people who have personal experience and have actually tried them...not just what you've heard about a product. I have very fair skin and do not tan naturally well. Tanning beds are not an option. Also, has anybody tried the spray tans (like Mystic Tan) that you can have done at salons and if so, do those work well?
Thanks in advance!!
By the way, if anybody knows of any good exfoliants or moisturizers (which I know you need if you do a sunless tanner), then that would be great too!
I occasionally use banana boat summer color self tanning mist. it has a fresh citrus fragrance. Its great for all skin tones and I never even had to exfoliate either! I never looked orange and its easy to apply
Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.
