It wasn't all that long ago that most people thought that laying out in the sun to tan was in fact a healthy thing to do. It was just something that people did to pass their time and a sunburn was seen as an acceptable occupational hazard for many sun worshipers. Then the reports started to come out about the real hazards of the sun. Also, people started to get a good look at what was happening to the skin of sun worshipers over the long term and it wasn't pretty.

SkinCeuticals San Soleil Self Tanner

New Options for Tan Worshipers

In spite of all the bad press that the sun has been getting over the course of the past two decades, one fact still remains and that is that a nice tan sure does look good on a person. This has led to more and more people turning to artificial means to give themselves that healthy golden glow that a great suntan will give. However; what far too many people found, was that too many “bottled suntans” left them looking “orange and streaked”.

A Natural Looking Streakless Artificial Tan

Skinceutical research developers went to work and the fruits of their labor is the final answer to all the problems that came with a sunless suntan. Its called Skinceuticals San Soleil Self Tanner and it is the one product that finally delivers a truly natural looking artificial suntan.

How does it do it? Most artificial self tanning products use DHA or dihydroxy acetone as their main active ingredient. This chemical produces a long lasting artificial tan but it does have evenness and coloring problems, that can leave the user looking streaked and orangish. San Soleil Self Tanner from Skinceuticals uses this same chemical but it also contains a chemical additive called erythrulose. This new chemical additive effectively eliminates the problem, resulting in a perfectly natural looking artificial tan.
