As often happens, the Dha’s ability of giving a tan colour to the skin , was discovered purely by chance in 1920 by a certain Dr. Wittgenstein who noticed that in diabetics who used dha as a sweetener their skin took on a brownish colouring. This colour could not be washed off.

It was in the 1950s, however, when the first fake tanners based on dha were put on the market.Contrary to the modern ones, these products gave the skin an orange tint.
Now, dha is used in an aerosol compound and the result is completely different from the fake tan you get from uv rays because:

- it doesn’t age the skin
- it doesn’t cause wrinkles
- it doesn’t burn
- it doesn’t cause skin rashes
- it doesn’t cause any kind of problem

This method is especially indicated for people with a fair or very fair complexion since it doesn’t stimulate melanocytes (very scarce in fair- skinned people) and so tans without causing any harm.
Moreover, there are no restrictions in its use so everyone is free to decide on the depth of colour they want. The only rule is that you must wait for six hours between treatments.

On top of all this, there is no heat involved, so you don’t feel hot after the treatment
