Sunless
Tanning Sprays - DHA The scare of skin cancer being caused by UV
rays has made people turn to sunless tanning or a spray tan. The best sunless
tanning sprays contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone) as the active ingredient. DHA is
a chemical that mixes with dead skin cells to produce the appearance of a tan. The
only draw back to this type of tanning is that it lasts only 7 - 10 days due to
the shedding of dead skin cells. DHA has no known side effects for external application
as long as the eyes, lips and mucous membranes are protected. Those who get this
sunless tan must keep in mind that it is not a real tan so they can still burn
from UV ray exposure.
