We think there are some important facts about our product and fake tanning which you, the consumer should know. So please take the time to read through the FAQ’s below and let us share with you what we believe to be true!
Tan a Sac is a cotton sleeping bag but what makes it so unique is the patent pending panels. These tuck under your mattress at both ends ensuring it remains in place and doesn’t tangle around your body during the night. This ensures you have a restful nights sleep, confident that your sheets will remain fully protected from your fake tan. There is also a top panel which folds back over your duvet to protect the bedding from your newly tanned arms.
The magic ingredient in most self tanning lotions is DHA. DHA reacts almost instantly with the fatty/amino acids on the surface of the skin, however it needs up to 18 hours to penetrate those beneath the surface (depending on skin type and the DHA concentration in the lotion). This is what makes the total DHA bronzing effect so slow. Considering the colour of some lotions it makes sense that manufacturers would suggest you apply it overnight when you are safely in your own home and can hide until the DHA develops!
Well the skins surface is full of oily substances which act as a kind of glue (waterproof barrier) or sealant. When the skin heats up during the night it expands slightly and these oils become more runny (less viscous) allowing better penetration of DHA. In effect your skin heats up when you’re in bed and allows better penetration of your fake tan!
Unfortunately, this means our clean bedding is often left stained. Even the newer tanning moisturisers (which don’t necessarily stain our sheets after the first application) can still cause a gradual staining when applied on consecutive nights. They can also leave a very distinctive smell on the bedding which is only removed by washing. If you’ve experienced this nightmare scenario you’ll be thrilled to know that Tan a Sac is here to help....
