GOLDSUN: self-tanning and scrub guides | Biomed
Understanding color, prepping the skin, finding the right technique. GOLDSUN guides answer the practical questions of your routine, from the first try to maintenance.
Three functions, one path to understand
Gradual is about progressive color. Instant adds an immediately visible effect and also contains DHA. Scrub is about the skin's surface: exfoliation and smoothness, with no self-tanning function.
DHA is the self-tanning ingredient. Cosmetic color is not equivalent to UV protection. To choose the product, start with the desired result; to use it, always follow the instructions on the packaging.
