One of the things which has set Fresh Indulgence products apart from the very beginning is that unlike many - even the majority - of fake tan products, our solutions and self-tanning products do not dry the skin.

It wasn't something we set out to achieve initially. In fact, our primary concern was to cut out all unnecessary chemicals and preservatives. No DHA overloading of the skin, no dying chemicals, and absolutely no parabens. On top of this, we made a pledge to always source the purest and most stable DHA available.

It should have come as no surprise, perhaps, to find that the end result was a high-performing long-lasting tan that is not only natural-looking and even, but extremely gentle on the skin.

 

Why should sunless tanning should never dry the skin?

The fake tan process itself is in fact a very natural one. DHA reacts with the skin's own pigments (yet does not penetrate below the dead skin layer - an important point to mention to clients concerned as to the saftey of DHA), so the developing tan is actually produced by your own body; it is in no way a dye - or shouldn't be, although some higher percentage tanning solutions do have to include dyes in order to give the illusion of a higher DHA % tanning solution being effective. 

Because of this very fact - that sunless tanning is such a natural process - there is no reason why a fake tan should dehydrate the skin, and yet, this is one of the most common complaints from people who receive a spray tan or apply self tanning products. This is because of all the extra ingredients that manufacturers have been including in their tans; harsh artificial preservatives, excessive alcohols, DHA overloading and unnecessary dyes.

By omitting these unneeded ingredients, we were left with an even more effective sunless tanning solution which was in fact kinder and gentler on the skin than ever before. Suddenly, even those with the most sensitive of skins (including eczema sufferers) were able to use fake tanning products for the first time.

 

Where we are now

Purity and natural ingredients has been something which has always sets our products apart.

We want people who receive a tan with our products to feel that they have received a full and luxurious beauty treatment.
