According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface.
The reaction is non-toxic and skin safe, without the potential risks associated with UV exposure. The tan is temporary and will fade gradually over 3 to 10 days.
Hello,
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective products available are sunless- or self-tanning lotions that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. Another popular form of sunless tanning is the bronzer. These powders and moisturizers, once applied, create a tan that can easily be removed with soap and water. More like make-up, these products tint or stain your skin only until they are washed off.
I have tried almost every brand out there. Internet research has let me to think that I am allergic to DHA, the active ingredient in the tanners. Can't stand the smell either. Are there any tanners or bronzers out there that do not contain DHA??
I am 50 years old with fair, sensitive skin. I seem to have developed strange allergies to chemicals in the last few years and my skin has gotten very sensitive.
Thx.ladies.
Just use a tanning lotion out of a bottle. Spray tans are dangerous because Drs don't know what inhaling the tanning solution will do to baby and tanning beds are extremely dangerous in pregnancy.
I had it before. Somebody told me to go to the tanning bed a few times and it will go away. I am so against tanning beds now because I had to have 2 skin biopsies (both benign) which put a scare in me. I used to worship the sun and went to the tanning bed for special occasions. I will say though it did work and got rid of the rash.

She says she tried everything but I just want to get another womans idea on this issue, if anyone has this or knows of a solution. I want to help her so she doesn't worry so much about it. She gets so down when she see's other girls legs and then thinks of her own.
The chemical solution for body chemical peels is typically comprised of a combination of trichloroacetic acid (the main ingredient in a medium-depth skin peel) and glycolic acid (the main ingredient of a mild peel). The solution for body chemical peels is formulated to be stronger than the chemical solution used for light or medium facial skin peels, though it is milder than the phenol solution used for deep skin peels.
Good ones will have NO gluten and NO grains (this includes rice and corn), a good protein source (meat, fish, eggs, tofu, or poultry), green leafy vegetables, sweet potato, berries and some other fruit, fish oil (containing DHA), vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and digestive enzymes.
The good food does not have to every single ingredient that I have listed, but will contain many of the ingredients.
Some good brands: Wellness Grain Free, Evo/Innova, Orijin canned only.
Okay so my current prenatal vitamin does not have Dha in it...is it possible for me to take a Dha vitamin in conjunction with my prenatal vitamin?...if so what is a good brand to take?
Got up the next morning, and applied protopic again, then went to the tanning bed, because I was getting ready to go off on a cruise(i've since learned that tanning is very bad for you, and haven't been back since!). After getting out of the tanning bed, I looked at myself, and my face was a deep shade of red that I had never seen before. At first, I thought I had just gotten burned from the tanning bed, and that it would go away. Boy was I wrong.
I looked up IGH on line and saw some new data on formulations for Vitilgo and IGH(hypomelanosis issues not related to fungus) I bought these compounds and it took me forever to get everything I needed because I am no scientist but it's funny how when you have something you want to get rid of you become very interested and find a way. I won't give away my secrets but there is nothing harmful in this and it is working for Vitiligo and my IGH very well.
Ok so this is kinda weird. I was tired of feeling pale and sickly looking so I thought I would try going into a tanning booth. It's snowing and cold outside and I just thought it might make me feel better. Anyway when I'd finished my injunction site were really itchy and red. One of them the most resent is even a little raised and sore. It's been 5 days since I did injection. I'm on triple
Therapy with victrelis.
