dihydroxyacetone or dha Question

kennyw76 · 04-12-2008, 04:44 PM

i have a customer that has a lotion with dha in it she like the lotion but it is turning her orange. she is the only one and i wouldnt beleive it if i didnt see it..so i had a thought is there any way to neutralize the dha in a lotion

Don't use it. All DHA turns you orange. It's self tanner.

Ditto. DHA is a bad bronzer for what is suppose to be a TANNING LOTION. Not a fracken self-tanner.

no. Just the lotions that suck which is about 90% of them.

kenny the orange is normally from using to much. Maybe they should only use it every other tan and use a non-bronzer in between. Spellbound has a good reputation for going on smoothly without streaking and most places carry it.

Yes, I agree. Either 1) She doesn't have a solid base yet and that is why she is getting that weird color or 2) She is using it too often.

Tell her to rotate this bronzer with something else without a bronzer. Or, sell her something with a lower percentage of dha in it.

Most tanning lotions don't have as high of a dha percentage as self tanner solutions do.

What lotion is she using now? Just curious.
