DHA is a large molecule that it is impossible to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, which guarantees safety as it can only act on the most superficial layer.

How long does the tan usually last?
The tan lasts between 5 and 10 days on average. Factors such as skin type, Daily activities and skin care, make the results vary significantly from one person to another.

Why do some people last fewer days?
The length of the tan can vary for multiple reasons, the type of skin or the particular habits of each can significantly modify the duration of the tan. As an example, we could say that cleansing products with inadequate pH or with detergent contents in their composition, result in a shorter than usual duration.

What are the poor results of tanning using compressor and airbrush?
Designed for nail painting and tattooing, the use of airbrushes and compressors for tanning DHA is very questionable, as they generate a spray at too much pressure, in a very narrow jet. By firing a lot of product at a lot of pressure and distance, the airbrushes stain the walls and a lot of product is wasted. As it does not have a drying function, the excess of product on the skin stains the clothes and generates very irregular results. They were the first equipment used for the application of tanning DHA, nowadays they have been completely obsolete due to their low performance and the dissatisfaction of the clients.

No, Corpora DHA lotion has been enriched with Retinol (Vitamin A) and Aloe Vera (natural moisturizer derived from the cactus), with which we managed to nourish, Moisturize and soften the skin while tanning.
