How Fake Tan Works

The Scientific Version

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) was first discovered by some clumsy German scientists in the late 1920s. Hans must have been too busy focusing on a crossword one day when he spilt DHA over the back of his hand. Being a scientist he was curious to see what kind of rash might develop and so didn't wash it off. In the morning he found that it had produced nothing more than a brown discolouration of his skin.

Since then DHA has been refined; having been listed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1973, and has been used in cosmetic preparations for almost 30 years.

Much to Hanz's delight - I'm sure - DHA is not absorbed through the skin into the body and it has no known toxicity.

The Other Version...

The skin is made up of two main layers: the epidermis and dermis.

The epidermis is also made up of layers. The outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum (or horny layer), is where self tanning occurs. DHA reacts with amino acids on the skin and oxygen in the air causing skin to turn brown, giving the appearance of a tan.

A good example of this reaction is if you take a bite out of an apple an leave it on the side for a few hours it starts to turn brown. Fake tan works in a similar way on the skin.

Every day millions of dead skin cells are sloughed or worn away from the surface of the skin. Actually, every 35 to 45 days you have an entirely new epidermis.

That is why the colour change produced by DHA creating the tan effect will gradually fade. A sunless tan Will usually lasts about 5-7 days, although the Sienna X retail range of pre and post tan care products is designed to help your customers keep theirs for longer.
