Here is the write-up from the Chicago Tribune regarding Tantowel that ran on December 21, 2008. The article was written by Wendy Donahue:
Problem: I know it’s winter, but a ghostly pallor just doesn’t look festive. Is there any tanning product that I haven’t tried that is tested and approved by those in the know?
Solution: In sharing some of his personal favorite things for giving and receiving this holiday, Adam Glassman, creative director for O, The Oprah Magazine, said his friends know he can always use fresh stock of the Tan Towel. “I admit I like the look of being sun-kissed, but have been avoiding the real sun for years now with tons of sun protection. Tantowel.com offers the best self-tanning product I have ever used—and I have tried them all. Individual single-use towelettes (like baby wipes) allow you to apply quickly on your face and/or body. You dry quickly and the color accelerator is the fastest, deepest, most natural tan I have ever seen. I am always asked, ‘Where have you been?’ and no one can believe it is a fake tan.” A full-body classic 10-pack for fair to medium skin is $21, plus 10 percent off during December, at tantowel.com.

“I rarely write notes to busy executives about their products, but in this case, I had to. I work for a music company based in Nashville and had the opportunity to attend the Grammys this year in New York. I attended a number of wonderful events that were graceful enough to offer “gift bags.”
The TanTowel was in one of these gift bags and, having never heard of a TanTowel, I gave it a try. I am olive skinned and can’t stand to be out in the sun, for many reasons, so I have tried many self-tanning products and this is the FIRST that has done all it said it would do. NO streaking. NO bad smell. NO sticky, goopy feeling and IT LASTS FOR DAYS ! The part that I liked best is that the color didn’t over stain my elbows, ankles and knees! WOW!
Working in entertainment - around stylists, hair & makeup people and tons of musicians/artists - I am able to tell everyone about this product - and will continue to do so. Did I mention that I travel a lot and love that it’s easy to travel with? Please pass this to Ms. Braun as well. Thanks for making such an amazing product and being nice enough to give samples in gift-bags so people like me have the opportunity to give it a try. I’m hooked!”
Sincerely,
JK

Any tan (sunless or not) only affects the top couple layers of your skin, which is made up of dead skin cells. These skin cells naturally slough off and your body actually regenerates completely new skin every 35-45 days. Therefore, whether you’ve been laying out in the sun to get your tan or use our fabulous sunless tanning products, your tan will fade over time.
Everyone’s skin naturally exfoliates at different rates, and the more you shower, shave, swim, etc, the faster your tan will fade. Most people are able to maintain their TanTowel tan by using them about 2 times per week. Some people will require more frequent use, and some less - it depends on your skin type.
A great way to prolong and enhance your tan is to use our On The Glow daily moisturizer. This product has a small amount of tanning formula that keeps your tan going while moisturizing your skin at the same time. For more great sunless tanning tips, check out our website at www.TanTowel.com.

We get this question a lot so we figured we would put your mind at ease. The active ingredient in most self-tanners including TanTowel is dihydroxyacetone, commonly called DHA. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers DHA safe when applied to your skin. DHA is a natural ingredient derived from sugar that reacts with the dead skin skills in the top layers of your epidermis. This natural reaction results in a darkening of those skin cells that lasts, on average, five to seven days. The rate at which your skin naturally exfoliates directly affects the length of time your new self-tan will last.
In fact, your body replenishes its skin cells completely every 35-45 days. This is why any tan, including a sunless tan, will fade over time. As these dead skin cells slough off, so does your tan. This is why it is recommended you apply your TanTowel every 3-5 days to keep that healthy-looking glow all year round.
Don’t confuse DHA in TanTowels with ingredients found in bronzers. Bronzers are different in that they contain actual dyes that dye your skin darker. Much like makeup, these products only work until they are washed off easily with soap and water. The mess can be awful as well, staining clothes, sheets, or other things. Currently, TanTowel does not use bronzers in any of our products. We only use DHA, which reacts naturally with the skin to give you a natural-looking tan.

A new law in the UK is aimed at helping reduce skin cancer by banning children under the age of 18 from using tanning beds. British children have the highest rate of skin cancer in Europe, and tanning salons will now be required to ask for identification if someone appears under age. Read the full article here.
