Louis-Widmer / Selftan

Selftan (100 ml)

Moisturizing Cream for face and body

Active
ingredients

Dihydroxyacetone	3,5%
Vitamin E	1%
Aloe Vera Concentrate	0,1%

Emulsion

Oil / water
pH 4,5

Effect

The active ingredient DHA (dihydroxyacetone) tans the upper layer of the skin. Part of the DHA is encapsulated in cyclodextrines, therefore providing a natural even tan. After a few days, the coloration disappears by means of the natural exfoliation of the upper cell layers. The light cream contains vitamin E to protect the skin from free radicals and aloe vera for additional moisturizing.

Application

To obtain an even tan, a peeling of the skin is the ideal preparation. Apply Selftan evenly on thoroughly cleansed skin to avoid streaks and marks and let it penetrate completely. When applied to the face, avoid the hairline and eyebrows. Where the corneous layer is very thick (elbows, knees, heels) the colour will be darker; use Selftan sparingly on these areas. Wash the hands thoroughly with soap after use of selftanning cream.

Please note:

Some types of skin do not tan with selftanning products
The intensity of the coloration depends on the thickness of the corneous layer. Apply the cream twice if you wish to obtain a deep tan. If a slight tan is desired, apply a moisturizer (face) or a body lotion (body) prior to applying the selftanning cream.
The tan appears 2-4 hours after application
Avoid contact with clothes until the cream has been absorbed completely by the skin
Selftan does not protect the skin against sunburn
