When lying in the sun, the skin's defense mechanism is what creates the tanned appearance on your skin.  Unfortunately, the sun dehydrates the skin. The sun's ultraviolet rays are the guilty culprits that speed up the skin's aging process.

MyTan's self-tanning products manifest the most natural looking tan while simultaneously rehydrataing and nourishing even the most delicate skin types. It's the smartest way to get a tan.  Don't be fooled by cheap imitations.  MyTan Sunless Products contain the finest non-comodegenic ingredients and always will.

Exfoliation:
Best results are achieved on clean taut skin. Use our seaweed soap bar regularly - it will keep your skin fresh and invigorated. 

1.  Exfoliation is essential for the best results with any self tanner.
2.  Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells on your body.

After Bathing:
After you've dried off with a towel, before you blow dry or style your hair..... reach for your self-tanning applicator and moisten the sponge.  Apply the lotion directly onto the damp sponge. Apply to your face and entire body as desired. 

MyTan instant sunless tanning lotion was formulated specifically for the face, but affordable enough to pamper your entire body in a lavish silky-smooth lotion.  It contains natural fruit acids which rejuvenate the skin cells as they exfoliate.  It will enrich and moisturize your skin as it produces a beautiful healthy glow --- without the sun.

(Note:   MyTan's sunless tanning products are designed to be layered giving you total control over your tan shade!  Light or Dark - you decide by the layers you apply!  From a lighter, “sun kissed” look to a deeper, richer, darker bahama-looking tan!)

Save your skin

The sun is the source of light and heat for the planet. The sun produces a healthy golden complexion and a tanned appearance.  However, tanning without caring for the quality of the skin can contribute to skin damage and premature aging.  MyTan Sunless Tanning Products offer smarter ways to achieve a gorgeous tan without the harmful effects of the sun. 

Now, with MyTan, every skin type, even the most fragile, is assured of a beautiful natural sun kissed glow without the negative attributes of the sun.

Regardless of your extra-curricular activities in the great outdoors, the sun always shines with the same degree of intensity.  Keep this in mind to avoid the unpleasant surprise of redness and sunburn after a day outdoors.

1.  Bodily areas of increased sensitivity are, the tops of your feet, behind your knees, and the ears.

2.  Apply sunscreen before going outdoors.  It will prevent sunburn before you arrive at your destination.

3.  Do not expose your skin for more than 45 minutes per day.  Once this time period has been accrued the melanocytes* are saturated and do not produce any more melanin to further a tan.

*Melanocytes are epidermal cells which produce melanin.

Eyes:
The eyes and their surrounding area are the most fragile part of the face.   Avoid direct exposure of the eyes and face and always wear tinted UV sun glasses outdoors.

Free radicals:
Free radicals* enhance wrinkles and fine lines. They will age your skin prematurely.

*Free radicals are reactive atoms that have one or more un-paired electrons. Activation of free radicals is caused by sun exposure.  Special care and protection will eliminate their actions.  An intelligent diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E produce very positive results.

Hands:
The hands are often overlooked as is usually the face.  They will exude the effect of exposure rapidly.  Be sure to protect these often neglected features.  Without adequate protection, wrinkling and moisture loss will become extremely evident. Discoloration and pigmentation can materialize.  Moisturize and use adequate sun block.

Kids:
Children's skin is particularly vulnerable to the sun's rays.  Due to the fact that the horny layer* of the skin is not fully developed.  *The horny layer is the skin's layer which provides natural protection against the sun's rays.

Early damage to a child's skin will reflect later in life.  Minimum protection for a child should be SPF15.  Save your child's skin!

Lifestyle:
A healthy complexion is accomplished through an intelligent lifestyle.  Smoking and alcohol can contribute to an unhealthy body as well as skin.  On the other hand, a well balanced diet, adequate sleep, relaxation and drinking plenty of water will help enhance a gorgeous tan and complexion as well as prolong your life span.

Over Exposure:
Red skin is burnt skin.  Seek shelter immediately!  Then apply aloe vera gel (after sun).  It will help compensate for the hot uncomfortable feeling caused by excessive sun exposure.  Aloe vera gel soothes, calms and revitalizes the skin and promotes a more even tan.

Reflection:
Light reflection:  Ultra-violet rays that reflect off of a surface onto your skin will increase the chance of sunburn ---- even under a parasol.  The percentage of reflection on sand is 20% and in the snow and water each 5%.

R/X:
Some pharmaceuticals are photosensitizing and can cause pigmentation marks, sometimes irreversible.  Contact your physician and verify that your medication is compatible with sun exposure.

Shade:
Care should be taken even while in the shade.  The sun's rays will find their way to your skin.  They can pass through clouds, leaves, umbrella's etc...
