If you are applying your tan yourself, read the label and take advice from the manufacturer. Prepare your skin properly. If you are going to a salon, call them up before-hand and get some information. There are quite a few forums discussing this, including the spray tan forum. <a href="http://www.spraytanforum.com" rel="nofollow">www.spraytanforum.com</A> - and they are excellent free places to get tips and advice from other users.

It doesn't smell too bad and the colour is very natural. I apply it with a latex glove on because it will colour your hand because it dries quickly. The colour is dark brown, so you can see where you are applying it. It has never been splotchy or streaky. It's a good product. I love Neostrata self tanner.

I would think it would depend on the amount of DHA in the product. I just though it was an interesting little tidbit that I hadn't come across before! Thank you for the question.

Although I did give up on it for awhile. I use Phytomer Creamy Self Tanning Gel and Loreal Sublime Bronze. I love the phytomer, but find that I tend to streak over areas like my knees and elbows. This is not because of the product, but because it is clear so I cannot see exactly where I am applying it. But, I am getting better at applying the self-tanner to these areas. I sometimes use the Loreal Sublime Bronze but if you work out...this is not the greatest choice as it does sweat off if you have not showered since applying the tanner! The Phytomer does not sweat off though. I always use the Phytomer on my face as it does not cause me to breakout. Another thing, I have extremely sensitive skin and I find that the cheaper drug store tanners cause me to sometimes breakout as well as cause my skin to feel dry and itchy! I did not experience any of this with the Phytomer. I would also really like to try the Guinot sel-tanner next as I have heard it is also a good one. Self-tanners are great, you just have to practice applying them! I would reccommend wearing latex or vinyl gloves when applying self-tanner. Even after washing your hands, you can sometimes be left with tanned palms! I am so happy to see people using self-tanners rather than tanning beds or the sun! Happy safe tanning :) I have finally almost mastered the art of applying self-tanner, after a year! Although I did give up on it for awhile.
