Self-tanning is a product that contains substances that provoke the production of melanoidin (the pigment that gives the skin a brown tint). A few hours after the application of self-tanning, the process of formation of pigment begins in the upper layer of the epidermis, as a result of which the skin “tans”. This effect lasts for several days, until the stratum corneum naturally exfoliates.
Self-tanning is safe as it works only in the upper barrier layer. The addition of various moisturizing and nourishing components to the composition is only beneficial to the skin. Various product formats - spray, milk, lotion, oil, allow you to choose the best option.
We have compiled a list of the best self-tanning products based on expert opinions and feedback from real customers. Our recommendations will help you make the best choice for your requirements and desires.
