Spray Tanning
The two main layers of the skin are epidermis on the surface and dermis one layer below that. All types of tanning, whether it is UV based or sunless takes place in the epidermis layer. The epidermis is made up of a number of layers. The deepest layer in the epidermis is the stratum basale (basal layer) and is affected during UV tanning. The stratum corneum (horny layer) is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is targeted by most sunless tanning products on the market today.
The American Academy of Dermatology states that the most effective sunless products available have dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA is colourless sugar extract that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. As the sugar extract interacts with the dead skin cells, a colour change occurs.
