How Does Self-Tanning Spray Work?

Self-tanning sprays are a go-to option for those looking to achieve a natural, bronzed glow without spending hours under the sun. But if you're wondering, “How does self-tanning spray work?”—we’ve got you covered! At 3VERYBODY, our Life Proof Tan Spray is designed to give you a flawless tan that lasts, without the risks of UV exposure.

Here’s everything you need to know about how self-tanning sprays work, and why 3VERYBODY’s spray is your best choice for a sun-kissed look.

The Science Behind Self-Tanning Spray

At the core of all self-tanners, including sprays, is an ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is a plant-derived sugar that reacts with the amino acids on the surface of your skin, causing it to temporarily darken. This reaction happens in the outermost layer of your skin (the epidermis), creating a natural-looking tan.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

• Surface-Level Reaction: When you apply self-tanning spray, DHA interacts with the dead skin cells on your epidermis, turning them a darker shade. This color change mimics the effects of a natural tan.
• Gradual Development: After application, the tan begins to develop over 6-8 hours, reaching its full color by the next day. This gradual process gives you a streak-free, even glow.

Why Choose 3VERYBODY’s Life Proof Tan Spray?

Not all self-tanning sprays are created equally, and 3VERYBODY’s Life Proof Tan Spray stands out for a few reasons:

1. Flawless, Long-Lasting Tan

Our spray delivers a deep, natural-looking tan that lasts up to a week. Unlike some products that leave you looking orange or streaky, the Life Proof Tan Spray provides an even, buildable tan that looks like you just got back from vacation.

2. Hydrating, Skin-Loving Ingredients

Many self-tanners can leave your skin feeling dry, but 3VERYBODY’s formula includes nourishing ingredients like:

• Argan Oil: Known for its moisturizing properties, argan oil helps keep your skin soft and hydrated while your tan develops.
• Cucumber Extract: This soothing ingredient cools and refreshes your skin, preventing dryness and irritation.
• Caffeine and Guarana Extract: These energizing ingredients help firm and tighten the skin, giving you a smooth, glowing finish.

3. Quick-Drying, Non-Sticky Formula

No one likes the sticky feeling some self-tanners leave behind. That’s why our Life Proof Tan Spray is quick-drying and non-sticky, allowing you to go about your day without feeling greasy or waiting hours to get dressed.

How to Apply 3VERYBODY Life Proof Tan Spray

To get the best results from your self-tanning spray, it’s important to apply it correctly. Here’s how to do it with 3VERYBODY’s Life Proof Tan Spray:

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

Exfoliating your skin before applying self-tanner is key to a smooth, even tan. Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells, paying extra attention to areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Lightly moisturize dry areas to prevent the tanner from clinging to rough patches.

Step 2: Apply Using a Tanning Mitt

Spray the Life Proof Tan Spray directly onto your 3VERYBODY Tanning Mitt and apply it to your skin in circular motions. Start from your legs and work your way up, using even strokes to ensure a streak-free finish. Avoid spraying directly onto your skin to prevent oversaturation.

Step 3: Blend in Tricky Areas

Be sure to blend the product well around areas like your ankles, knees, elbows, and hairline. These spots tend to absorb more product, so blend carefully with the clean side of the mitt to avoid uneven coloring.

Step 4: Let It Develop

Allow your tan to develop over the next 6-8 hours. During this time, avoid water, sweating, or applying any other products to the skin. For a deeper tan, you can leave the spray on overnight and rinse it off in the morning.

Step 5: Moisturize Daily

After your tan has fully developed, keep it looking fresh and glowing by moisturizing daily. Hydrated skin helps prolong the life of your tan, ensuring it fades evenly without patchiness.

How Long Does Self-Tanning Spray Last?

With proper application and care, 3VERYBODY’s Life Proof Tan Spray will last around 5-7 days. To maintain your glow, reapply once a week, and be sure to exfoliate before each application to avoid buildup or uneven fading.

Why 3VERYBODY’s Formula Is Safe and Effective

When it comes to self-tanning, safety is just as important as results. Our products are formulated with skin health in mind:

• Vegan and Cruelty-Free: All our products are vegan and cruelty-free, so you can enjoy a gorgeous tan with peace of mind.

Pro Tips for Using Self-Tanning Spray

• Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before applying any new product to your entire body.
• Tan in Layers: For a deeper tan, don’t try to get it all in one application. Start with a light layer and apply a second one after the first has developed.
• Use a Mitt for Even Application: A tanning mitt ensures the product goes on evenly and helps prevent streaks or uneven patches.
