What’s the difference between sunless tanners, self-tanners, and tanning extenders?
A. Sunless tanners and self-tanners are the same thing! Most all use the active ingredient DHA to achieve a natural tan color on the skin without UV radiation. Tan extenders tend to have ingredients that prolong the life of your tan (either sunless or UV tans) and commonly use ingredients such as tyrosine and various moisturizing ingredients.
