Do you get the same results if you use a 8-12hr DHA devoloping solution or a 4hr solution ?
Same colour? texture? lasts the same?

DHA does not have a varying developing rate. It would be in the percentage of DHA in the product that would affect it. Look at the ingredient list on the back of the product and see if it is listed in the same order. Sounds like marketing BS to me.

If you allow the solution to develop longer, you will get a more optimal color. 8-12 hrs is good, 24 hours is better.

And just how would you propose to halt the process if you wanted an 8-12 hour tan?.

I am not sure I understand the question. You can take a shower after 8 to 12 hours and this will stop the reaction process. You will still receive a nice color. If you want to wait and get the optimal color, you can shower after 24 hours.

Actually, if you wait 8-12 hours, then shower, you should get the same color as showering at 24 hours. After 8-12 hours, you've already absorbed the DHA. If you're the type of person who will continue to get darker for 24 hours (some people do, some people don't), the DHA will continue to develop anyway - even if you shower after the 8-12 hours. So if you shower at 8-12 hours, you may look lighter than if you showered at 24 hours, but by the time it's actually been 24 hours, you'll be the same color. Does that make sense?

Makes sense to me, kind of. I've delivered a lot of sessions under a lot of different conditions. What I've found is that if you shower,wash, or other wise get wet within a 4 hour period after tanning, that you can affect the results. After that, your a done deal. Does excessive bathing remove your affected skin cells quicker?. I agree with gotta and xander, you can't 'deactivate' dha. Now I would certianly be interested in knowing if someone is using something other than DHA to create the tan. I don't mean color additives, penetrants, or stabilizers. Most of those ingredients are neccessary evils.

So Christie, secret weapon?, let us know, sales tale?, expose the culprit.

You're right, xander, did some more research. After 4-6 hrs the DHA has done the reaction process, but can take up to 24 hrs for development. Excessive bathing just helps speed up the exfoliating process. When you soak, your skin cells swell with water and are more apt to "rub" off, causing your "tan" to rub off as well. Erythrulose is another product that is being used in Sunless Tanners. This as well as DHA are said to produce a more even fading, longer lasting "tan". Whether or not this works depends on the different persons skin and it's reaction to the product. Erythrulose reacts with amino groups of keratin in the skin leading to brownish polymers (melanoids) especially with dihydroxyacetone (DHA). See this link:

I'm not sure that a slower developing lotion would reduce uneveness of the tan. That has more to do with absorbtion rates related to varying skin qualities and application methodology. In your sixth day, even if the lotion is developing to it's max color, the reduced densities residual on an individual make it somewhat mute. I will say however that anything that reduces the drying effects is great. The experitmentation that is going on is interesting and improvements are surely occuring. Irregardless, doesn't look like you have any control as to the reaction process. Washing does not stop the reaction process.

Some brands have two kinds of solution . The "trditional" and the new "fast acting" type, which is normally more expensive. For example, Totally tan by Badger. Anybody tried it? What's the diference?
