Frequently Asked Questions
WHY IS THE PRODUCT SO BROWN?
The use of color in our product was the result of an
advanced technological discovery. We found that the use of
color pigment finally eliminated STREAKING because our
customers can see the product as it is applied to the skin.
The use of color gives our customers ''control'' of the
product and results in a smooth and even tan without
embarrassing streaks or blotches. IMPORTANT NOTE: This
color is not a stain or dye; it is a naturally based organic
color pigment that is temporary. The DHA is what actually
tans your body; the color is for application purposes only.
WILL IT STAIN MY CLOTHING OR SHEETS?
No! Since organic color pigment is not a stain or a
dye, it will not permanently stain and will wash out of any
synthetic material. Many focus testing groups found that the
color could be removed more easily than make-up on collars. No
pre-laundering treatments were required.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
This is one of our favorite questions! We boast that
our product needs to be applied on the average of only once or
twice a week. Of course, you will determine your own
maintenance schedule. Remember, you are in control, you can
deepen your tan simply by applying more of the product.
DOES IT WASH OFF?
NO! Remember that the organic color is for application.
The unique Dihydroxy (DHA) is what creates your tan. Just like
a tan from the sun, the tan from this product will not wash off
because of its new breakthrough formulation! Note: DHA is not
permanent, so it will fade just as any suntan does, which is why
a weekly application is recommended to maintain your tan.
CAN I USE IT IN THE SUN OR WITH SUN BEDS?
In our marketing research we discovered that the use of
our product with the sun or with a sun bed actually accelerates
the tanning process. Stimulating the dark pigment of the skin,
known as Melanin, accelerates any form of sun tanning. Those
who wish to combine our product with an additional sun tanning
regimen will see quicker and more satisfying results than ever
before. For this reason, many Suntan Salons carry our products
to use with sun beds as a Melanin Accelerator to promote
tanning. Our product is also ideal for those who cover their
face during tanning or who have trouble tanning the sides of
their bodies or other problem areas. NOTE: We do recommend the
use of SPF or sun block when engaging in any form of sun
tanning.
DOES YOUR PRODUCT HAVE ANY SUNSCREEN OR SPF?
Our Chemist recommended that we not add any of the above
to our product. So many of our customers want different degrees
of sunscreens or sun blocks that it would be impossible to
satisfy all of them.
WHAT ABOUT SWIMMING WITH THE PRODUCT?
Again, we emphasize that this product fades but does not
wash off. For the very best results, follow our instructions
and apply the product at night and rinse the next morning. Do
not swim immediately after application of the product; this
would result in waste. Instead, swim after your morning rinse.
ARE THERE ANY HARMFUL EFFECTS OF THIS PRODUCT?
Dermatologists will enthusiastically agree that tanning
with a dihydroxy formulation is much safer than tanning for
prolonged hours in the sun. Our company members are very
conscientious about safety, health, and environmental issues.
For this reason, we have created an organically based product to
ensure a safe tan and to promote healthy skin. We used no
animal testing because our product contains no harmful
ingredients that would have required extensive animal testing.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DRY?
Because the level of moisture in each skin type varies,
drying time will also vary slightly. In general, we have found
that 20 minutes is sufficient time for the product to dry. Many
choose to apply the product several hours before going to bed to
ensure that the product has dried completely.
