Frequently Asked Questions

I have a sunless tanner left over from last summer. Is it okay to use?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
In most cases, yes. Sunless tanners stored in air tight containers at room temperature will last two years or more. Exceptions to that are products without preservatives [Toma's Tan Perfect] and drugstore mousse products [whose containers are not as air tight as they could be]. DHA, the active ingredient in sunless tanners, degrades when exposed to air. When you store a product, make sure the cap is tightly closed. Now listen here missy.

How much sunless tanner will I need to use?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
Thank you, Pale Dave, for asking that. I have to use from one to two ounces of sunless tanning lotion if I'm applying it to my entire body. With products such as Au Courant, it's about half an ounce.

Do you think it's okay for a man to use a sunless tanner with added color or bronzer in it?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
No. Men should never do anything to improve their appearance. They should avoid shaving, getting haircuts, buying stylish clothing, working out, and brushing their teeth. Otherwise, dating and marriage could result.

If a sunless tanner has sun protection, can I use it for sun screen?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
Heck no. Paula Begoun, whose books on cosmetics are the best I've ever seen, believes that all-in-one products such as sunless tanners with sun screen are never your best bet. As she points out, for a sun screen to be effective, you will need to reapply it frequently. This obviously won't work with sunless tanners. Paula explains everything you need to know about sun screens at her web site.

Can you recommend a salon where I can get a sunless tanner applied to me?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
If you have a friend who recommends a particular salon, try it. I do not recommend any salon. I have heard too many horror stories from people who shelled out $45 to $150 just to be orange. If you want to avoid the hassle of self application, I recommend using the Mist-On Tan, the Mystic Tan, or the Fantasy Tan. Into each life a strapless ball gown can fall. You can get rid of the X, but it sure would have been swell if you had worn sun screen and avoided this problem.

Will the tan from a sunless tanner protect me from sunburn?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
No. Well, just a little bit. A medical study showed that sunless tanners might provide up to an SPF 2 or SPF 4 degree of protection. And, unlike sun screen, this protection will not be diminished by sweat or swimming. But it's not enough to get by on. You must use sun screen.

Will anyone be able to tell if I'm using a sunless tanner?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
Probably not, unless they use one themselves. Whenever people comment on my tan, I tell them I use a sunless tanner, and they are visibly surprised. Once I told a woman who was using sunless tanners about sunless tanners because I didn't realize she was using them herself. I thought she was committing suicide via tanning beds. The skin on your lips and nipples is nearly unaffected by sunless tanners. Your freckles and moles may darken more than the rest of your skin.

Is it safe to use sunless tanner on my face?

Airbrush Tanning, Airbrush Tanning Solution, Airbrush Tan, A...
Yes, spraying a tan on your face is perfectly fine. Try to hold your breath and do it as quickly as possible. Don't forget to put some cotton inyour nostrils to prevent breathing it in. It will not hurt you, but you will have brown in your nose! You can also paint your face but it is a little trickier. But if you can master make up foundation, you will have no problem. Apply very little sunless tanner, just a drop or so, to the brush and apply first to the cheeks, chin, nose and forehead.

Can pregnant or nursing mothers use the St. Tropez sunless tanner?

St. Tropez : FAQ
The concern some doctors have is over whether or not the active ingredient (DHA) is able to enter the blood stream, indications being that it cannot. DHA only penetrates the top 3 layers of the skin. However, if the client is still concerned they should consult their physician first. FYI: DHA has been used as a cosmetic ingredient in the United States since 1960 and no problems have ever been reported concerning DHA penetrating the skin or causing problems during pregnancy.

Can I use a sunless spray booth or self tanner in addition to a regular tanning bed?

California Tan® Inc. | Tanning | Basics | Sunless | FAQ
Absolutely. In fact, the sunless tanning results are phenomenal over a nice base tan. If you want to combine both applications in a single visit, we recommend to use the tanning bed first, then the sunless unit. You can use a tanning lotion in the tanning bed like you always do. However, make sure it is rubbed into the skin really well and use a towel to wipe away any excess lotion or perspiration after getting out of the tanning bed.

Not really - Just a nominal amount. A recent medical study showed that sunless tanners might provide up to a SPF 4 degree of protection. A SPF 4 is not enough protection in prolonged sun exposure. A combination of sunscreen and your Looking Tan! self-tanner should be used.

Should I exfoliate before using a bronzer or a sunless tanner?

Yes. Exfoliation helps remove dry skin cells which absorb self-tan color and can refract UV tanning rays, causing splotchiness and uneven results.

Should I moisturize before using a bronzer or a sunless tanner?

Tanning, Instant Tan, Hydromassage, Tanning Products, Prince...
Not for at least 2 hours before and 4 hours after application. Moisturizing can act as a barrier prior to sunless tanning, inhibiting full development of color, and moisturizing immediately after sunless tanning can cause streaking.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com

I have rosacea. It is safe for me to use sunless tanners?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
Many people with rosacea are drawn to sunless tanners. The brownish hue of a sunless tan can disguise the redness of rosacea; tanning in the sun can cause rosacea flare ups and must be avoided. But before applying sunless tanners to your face, consult your dermatologist. DHA can be a potent skin irritant. While you should be able to use sunless tanners on your body, for your face consider the advice of a long time sunless.

New Page 1
A: For any time period at room temperature (for example, a week) subtract that same amount of time (a week) from that product's expiration date. At temperatures above 25 °C this drop in activity is more rapid and the exact time and temperature of storage will be needed to determine its expiration.

Okay, great!!! So which stick should I use?

FAQ's
If you don't mind the extra depth, and you don't really need the click (and can stand the cost), the Happ Opticals are the easiest to hook up. Gut a USB mouse and connect the rotary inputs to the USB ports. Personally, if I were building it, because I don't play often using the Ikari panel for standard games and IKARI isn't my all time favorite game (although I do like it); I would use the LS-30 joysticks with Druin's interface.

Some sunless tanners say they work "instantly," some don't. Which should I use?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
Some sunless tanners contain "added color," or FD&C approved coloring agents, the same coloring agents you will find in makeup. The rest of the sunless tanners only contain dihydroxyacetone which gradually "tans" your skin over a period of several hours. The advantage of a sunless tanner with added color is that you can tell where you are applying it, eliminating mistakes. The disadvantage is that some sunless tanners with added color make you look like a TV anchorperson.
