Myth #5: Self-Tanners Make Your Skin Dry

Myth #6: A Base Tan Prevents Sunburn
Let's put this myth to rest once and for all. Contrary to popular belief, there's no such thing as a "base tan" that magically shields your skin from sunburn. The idea that a slight tan can protect you from harmful UV rays is a dangerous misconception. A tan provides minimal protection at best. Sunburn occurs when your skin is overexposed to UV radiation, and it can happen whether you have a tan or not. The truth is, the best defense against sunburn is diligent sun protection. So, always apply sunscreen generously, seek shade during peak sun hours, and wear protective clothing to keep your skin safe from sunburn's harmful effects.
Myth #7: Self-Tanners Fade Unevenly
Not if you take good care of your tan! Maintaining a flawless tan involves proper pre-tan exfoliation, moisturizing, and avoiding activities that can cause uneven fading. Our blog is full of expert tips to help you make your tan last.
Myth #8: Self-Tanning Takes Too Long
In our fast-paced world, who has time for lengthy tanning routines? With the right self-tanner, application can be quick and efficient. Our products are designed with your busy life in mind, so you can achieve that radiant glow in no time.
