Both excessive sunbathing and the intense use of tanning beds bear the risk of serious consequences for the human being´s health. Sunless self tanning with dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a harmless and safe method to achieve a significant tan within just a few hours.

Once DHA is linked to the amino acids on the skin surface, the tan can last for up to two weeks. It can only be removed mechanically or is diminished by natural exfoliation.
