Your skin loses moisture during a tanning session. Dehydrated skin can make fine lines and wrinkles appear sooner. That's why our products help deeply hydrate and care for your skin. Devoted Creations products also contain tanning accelerators and bronzers, helping you achieve a deeper, longer-lasting tan faster.
In short: you care for your skin and get more out of every tanning session.
Tanning accelerators stimulate natural pigment production and help kick-start the tanning process.
Bronzers also provide a darker, longer-lasting tan. There are three types:
1. DHA-bronzer
DHA is the most powerful bronzer and can extend your tan by up to 7 days. Because DHA is colourless, even white products can contain a DHA-bronzer. For the best results: spread evenly, clean your hands after use and wait at least 4 hours before showering.
2. Natural bronzer
This bronzer comes from natural ingredients, such as coconut, nuts and berries. It creates a gradual, natural-looking tan that stays visible for several days longer. It also leaves no streaks or stains.
3. Cosmetic bronzer
This bronzer instantly gives your skin a beautiful tan, so you see results straight away. The colour acts as a temporary ‘foundation’ and washes off in the shower. The visible colour also helps you apply the cream evenly.
Tip: Well-cared-for, hydrated skin keeps your tan looking beautiful for longer. Apply a good moisturiser to your skin every day.
A DHA bronzer needs 4–8 hours to bind to the proteins in the epidermis and develop a beautiful tan.
So wait at least 4 hours before showering. The longer you wait, the more intense the final result. For a deeper, more intense tan, we recommend waiting 8 hours before showering.
The color you see washing off in the shower is the cosmetic bronzer. It instantly gives you a lovely tan and helps you apply the product evenly.
If you have waited 4 hours before showering, the DHA-bronzer will have done its job. You can then safely wash off the cosmetic bronzer: the tan that has developed will remain.
Well-cared-for, hydrated skin gives you a more beautiful, longer-lasting tan.
Our advice: exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your tanning session and use a good moisturizer daily to care for and hydrate your skin.
The better you care for your skin, the longer you can enjoy your beautiful tan!
A DHA bronzer reacts with the proteins in the outer layer of your skin. This natural process can temporarily cause a distinctive odor. Specific fragrance ingredients are being added to more and more products to mask or neutralize the distinctive odor of DHA.
Everyone's skin is different, which is why Devoted Creations offers a range of products for different needs and skin types. Check the product information for key-ingredients, bronzers and nourishing ingredients to find what suits you best.
Not sure? An official Devoted Creations Salespoint can offer personal advice and help you choose the product that suits your skin and desired results.
For the best results, apply the product in the booth just before your tanning session. If you apply it at home, some of the product may rub off onto your clothes. This can lead to a less even or patchy tan.
Applying the product just before your tanning session ensures your skin is optimally hydrated and allows the tanning accelerators and nourishing ingredients to get to work straight away. This helps you get the most out of your tanning session and achieve a deep, even tan.
The shelf life varies by packaging type:
- Opened bottle: up to 1 year after opening.
- Sachet: use immediately after opening and do not store.
After this period, we can no longer guarantee the product's effectiveness and quality. The formula may also change over time, which could cause your skin to react differently.
For the best and most reliable results, always use a product within its recommended shelf life.
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and indicates how much protection a product provides against UV radiation.
You generally use SPF outdoors because UV radiation from the sun can vary greatly and cannot be adjusted to suit your skin type. This means the risk of sunburn is greater outdoors. With a tanning bed, the session is tailored to your skin type and a maximum time is set.
You can also use SPF on a tanning bed, for example to give specific areas such as scars, dark spots or tattoos extra protection. Keep in mind that SPF reduces UV exposure and therefore also reduces tanning in that area.
Devoted Creations tanning lotions can also be used outdoors in the sun, but they do not offer protection against UV radiation. Always combine your lotion with a sunscreen with an SPF suited to your skin type.
Also keep in mind the bronzers in the formula. When exposed to sunlight outdoors, these may be more likely to cause uneven color or transfer onto clothing or swimwear. Apply the product thoroughly and evenly, and allow it to absorb fully.
This way, you can enjoy your lotion’s nourishing and tanning benefits while giving your skin the protection it needs.
