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.

TanTowel has received some glowing reviews in the blogosphere lately. Here’s a summary:
Kim Snyder from Thoughts of Beauty says, “I have to say I give an A+ to TanTowel.“
Betsy from Betsy’s Beauty Blog raves, “I felt like I looked healthy and like I just spent a day on the beach! Perfection! I know I’m rambling…but believe me, I’ve spent my whole life looking for the perfect self tanning product so I’m a little excited!”
Tashina with Logical Harmony says, “…there are times when you are going to stumble upon a great find. This was the case when I tried TanTowel…TanTowel is now my latest sunless tanning addiction…my skin had a gorgeous and streak-free glow to it. It looks like I spent the weekend laying out by the swimming pool instead of just a few minutes with a TanTowel!”
Hil’Lesha with The Beauty Counter says, “I was in for a surprise when I first open the packettes, because the towelettes were clear (no messy brown liquid!)…I will definitely be buying this when winter comes around. I’m happy to say that it makes me look like I have a natural tan without looking like an Oompa Loompa.”
Thank you ladies for giving TanTowel a try and loving it. We appreciate your support and hope you will turn your readers on to the safe, healthy benefits of sunless tanning with TanTowel.
