A SHORT HISTORY ON SUNLESS TANNING
In the summer of 1960, a sun tan lotion company introduced the first self-tanning lotion that nearly single-handedly ruined that market for the next 35 years. A lot of progress has been made in that area in the past few years, and StarTan is proud to support and accelerate this still young and fascinating field of “Sunless Tanning”.
StarTan formulates and produces its own Tanning Sun Mist, and a revolutionary new way of applying it. In these days of cancer threats and skin damage from the sun, we are providing our eager clients a safe and healthy way to maintain a healthy, year round tan.
WHY IS SUNLESS TANNING ALL THE RAGE?
There is something about a tanned body that is very appealing to so many of us. When you are tanned, you look healthier, younger and more vibrant. It is amazing how different people act when they first come in to get their tan, looking “white, pale and pasty”, they are then transformed within minutes into a healthy, tanned and more energetic person. They have a noticeably higher level of self-confidence. The transformation is truly amazing.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The active ingredient in the tanning spray (ketosugar DHA-dihydroxyacetone) works with the amino acids in the outer layer of the skin effecting a bronzing reaction. This is different than the UVA and UVB rays of the sun that stimulate the melanin pigment in the skin. It produces this bronze color without skin damage.
The tan spray works on the top layer of the skin only and will shed, or fade like a “sun” tan over several days. The way the tan fades is dependent on the way each person naturally exfoliates his or her skin. The longer and more regularly they tan, the better the tanning effect will wear.
