    Natural self-tanners for the face

    Natural cosmetic self-tanners ensure a beautiful and natural-looking tan in any season. Self tanning is the keyword - getting a tan without any harmful UV rays. Natural tanning creams ensure a healthy glow and a sun-kissed, youthful appearance. Thanks to high-quality, plant-based ingredients, they are very gentle on the skin, absorb quickly, provide moisture and nutrients and give a natural-looking, long-lasting tan. Everything is possible, from light to full. With tanning creams of different strengths or by applying them several times, the tan can be dosed individually.

    How does self-tanner work?

    The active ingredient responsible for the tan is usually DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a sugar that is often extracted from glycerin. After application, DHA combines with proteins in the top layer of skin and thus creates the desired glow.

    It is important to store self-tanners with DHA in a cool, dark place, as harmful formaldehyde can form if stored in too warm a place. In addition, these self-tanners should not be used beyond the stated best-before date. The dosage is crucial and DHA is harmless in small quantities. Products with erythrulose, a more stable variant of DHA, are also available.

    Seamless tan with the right application of self-tanner

    Before applying self-tanner, it is important to cleanse the skin thoroughly and remove dead skin cells, preferably with a gentle exfoliation. Particularly dry areas such as elbows, knees and ankles should be moisturized beforehand with a moisturizing cream or balm to avoid over-tanning in these areas. Use gloves to prevent uneven tanning on the hands.

    When applying self-tanner, make sure to apply it evenly and thinly to the skin. Be especially careful in hard-to-reach areas such as the back or shoulders. Self-tanners dry quickly, so work quickly to avoid streaks or patches.

    After application, you should wait a few minutes before getting dressed to avoid staining your clothes. In the first few hours after application, it is advisable to avoid water and heavy sweating so that the tan can develop evenly.

    To maintain your tan, reapply your self-tanner regularly every few days or according to the product instructions. To make your tan last longer, moisturize your skin daily with a moisturizing lotion or cream.
