There are many commercial products to get an even tan, however there are also a variety of natural options to obtain that beautiful brown color in the skin, one of the most effective, of instant effect and without any risks is the sugar cane.
This natural product does not have any type of contraindications or side effects. In recent years, sugarcane has been tested, becoming a perfect substitute for UVA rays.
From sugar cane, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is an active principle, is extracted. It is completely natural and harmless to the skin, and has been used for medical purposes. It reacts in the most superficial layer of the skin when in contact with Keratin, producing a natural reaction that tans naturally by activating melanin.
This technique has been applied in Spain for about 6 years and has had great receptivity in dates prior to summer, because that is when there are many social events, so many go to cosmetic centers to try this innovative sugar cane method.
To apply this fast tanning method, you will need to exfoliate your body and face, so that the application of the treatment is even and homogeneous. Then, you need to shower to eliminate the remains of the scrub and excess oil on the skin.
Once these steps are completed, the product is sprayed with an applicator gun that allows it to be distributed evenly. This procedure takes 15 minutes and if you do not expose yourself to the sun, the effects disappear gradually without leaving any spots. After the application, you should avoid being in contact with any type of humidity, such as showering, sweating or perfumes, for a period of three to four hours, so that the application is not affected.
The experts assure that the tan will last for an average of seven days, and can be repeated weekly. To achieve a better result, it is suggested to apply moisturising creams. To extend the tan, you can apply a self-tanning lotion that allows you to extend the effect up to 14 days.
Before applying the it, you must choose the tone you want for your skin, you can choose from dark, medium to soft color. The most popular tone is the soft one; it will allow you to have a nice tan during the first days of summer.

The only thing they say is that lactating women should not apply the product on their breasts, since it could change the taste of breast milk, leading to a rejection.
DHA does not cause allergies, as its molecules do not penetrate the deep layers of the skin, ensuring its safety. It does not affect diabetics, since it is a topical product that cannot reach the blood.
