• the technique is not contraindicated in oncological pathologies;
• lotion rarely causes negative reactions from the skin;
• the procedure is allowed to be repeated every week as needed.

Flaws:

• specific smell of lotion;
• the product dries the epidermis, with frequent use, dehydration of the skin may occur;
• it is washed off after 7-14 days as the stratum corneum is exfoliated, the face and palms brighten most quickly;

Composition

Main component lotions for instant tanning - dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

It is a monosaccharide derived from sugar cane.

The substance was discovered in 1950 and was used in the treatment of diabetes.

DHA has been widely used to give the skin a bronzed tint about 15 years ago.

Dihydroxyacetone is harmless to the integument, since it only affects the epidermis, changing its tone.

Some drugs contain erythrulose is a monosaccharide isolated from ripe raspberries. It provides a lighter tan with a yellowish undertone. The final shade develops later and is washed off faster than with DHA. Often, erythrulose and dihydroxyacetone are combined, which results in a uniform color and a lasting effect.

After the session

Within 5-10 minutes after applying the lotion, it is absorbed. Then you can put on loose clothes. She might get a little dirty.

Since most products contain a bronzer, the skin color will change immediately, but final shade will appear in 2-10 hours (the master should tell the exact time).

During this period, it is forbidden to press the shower and allow water to come into contact with the skin, as well as to play sports, dance and visit the sauna.

After the specified period it is allowed to swim in warm water, but without a washcloth. In this case, the bronzer pigment will be washed off, and the result will become visible.
