Cellex Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel

A natural-looking tan that lasts longer than any of the others.

A long lasting, natural-looking tan. The natural sugar derivative DHA, or dihydroxyacetone, reacts with amino acids in the skin’s surface layers to create a natural and healthy-looking tan. Bio-Tan Sunless Tanning Gel also contains melanin and walnut extract to keep skin looking and feeling healthy. This tanning gel may be used as often as desired on any skin type, except the most sensitive of skin. No orange tint, no chemical scent. Just a beautiful, glowing, sunless tan.

Directions:

1. The secret to this natural looking tan is exfoliation. Exfoliate your skin with Cellex-C Speed Peel & Polish Gel before applying or re-applying Bio-Tan. It makes all the difference.

2. Spread a generous amount of Bio-Tan Gel over your face and neck Avoid eye area, eyebrows and hairline.

3. Do not blend at this stage. Allow one minute for the product to be absorbed into the upper layers of your skin. Then, gently massage any excess gel into your skin. Use the same procedure for other areas of your body. Wear a loose, old t-shirt and baggy pants until step 6 is completed.

4. Wash your hands with warm water and soap immediately after applying Bio-Tan. Then, using the sponge wedgie provided, apply the gel to your fingers and back of your hands if desired.

5. Apply an oil-free moisturizer to your face—Cellex-C Sea Silk—or to your body—Body Sheen & Toning Gel—to give your skin an extra glow. If your preferred moisturizer contains oil, wait 20 minutes before applying it as it may interfere with the color development

6. After 3-4 hours, gently wipe your skin with a warm, damp washcloth. This will remove excess superficial color left on the surface of your skin. You will notice how the tan now reflects through your skin giving a totally natural light golden tanned appearance. If a deeper tan is desired, repeat the application of Bio-Tan.

7. To keep your tan looking fresh and natural, exfoliate every 2-3 days with Cellex-C’s Speed Peel& Polish Gel and then reapply Bio-Tan following the same steps as above.

DHA
Most often derived from sugarcane or sugar beets. This natural sugar derivative, when applied to the skin, reacts with amino acids in the skin’s surface layers to create a tan-like color. DHA is safe and has been used in self-tanning products for over 35 years. Researchers have now perfected the level of DHA to produce an authentic looking color that closely emulates a real suntan.

Erythrulose
A natural sugar and self-tanning agent that acts synergistically with DHA to produce a longer lasting, even tan with an attractive sun-bronzed color.

Melanin
Naturally extracted from cuttle fish ink. Melanin is an excellent anti-oxidant and free-radical neutralizer.

Walnut extract
Traditionally used in skin treatments because of its fungistatic and astringent properties. It also contains a natural colorant, which imparts a subtle brown tint.

Tyrosine
An amino acid that, when combined with tanning sugars, produces a quick and uniform looking tan. The color produced is amazingly close to that of a natural suntan.
