History of Tanning

Frequently Asked Questions - DHA
               

Dihydroxyacetone( di-hy-droxy-acetone) (DHA) is the active ingredient in spray tanning solution. The spray 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. The tan is temporary and will fade gradually over 3 to 10 days - depending on which spray tan solution one uses. The 'cheaper' the spray tan, the sooner the tan will fade. Your pre- and post- care regime also will determine how long your spray tan will last.
