01/09/04 - New Patented Sunless Tanner Solves Sunless Tanning Issues - PRWeb

(PRWEB) January 9 2004--TOP SPAS DEMAND A TAN THAT’S PATENTED TO BE “FLAWLESS.”

Seeking the healthy glow of a millionaire fresh from the beaches of southern France? For some of the world’s most prestigious spas, that means offering sunless tanning among their services. And more and more, the product they rely upon is the only one bearing two U.S. patents: the aptly named Flawless Sunless Tanning System.

How can tanning be patented? In the case of Flawless, its patents recognize a bright solution to a problem that has plagued the sunless tanning industry from the beginning: eliminating the streaks of uneven coverage.

PERFECTION ON THE OUTSIDE

Sunless tanning lotions all use DHA (a colorless sugar) to safely help skin darken to a deep, rich tan. But since these lotions are invisible upon application, there is little way of knowing if coverage is even until it’s too late — when the tanning agent has fully developed, complete with streaks, blotches and globs.

In an attempt to combat this problem, some manufacturers have added bronzers (tan-colored dyes) to their formulas. Unfortunately, bronzers rub off and can stain clothing and upholstery. But the Flawless solution is different: it includes a light-responsive plant extract in its formula, which shows up under special lighting so that application coverage can be adjusted long before streaks develop. So there’s no bronzer and no mess. Just spa-quality results every time.

BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE

There’s much more to Flawless than its beautiful exterior: spa clients also value what goes inside. All Flawless products contain only cosmetic-grade ingredients and pharmaceutical-grade water. And their effect on the skin goes beyond mere color enhancement: each step of the three-part Flawless Sunless Tanning System is formulated to hydrate skin and make it feel pampered and healthy.

First, the jojoba-based Pre-Tan Exfoliator gently cleanses the skin and prepares it for even tanning. Next comes the Sunless Tanner in either Natural or Dark formulas; each is enhanced with shea butter and other natural moisturizers to prevent tanning dryness and ensure longer lasting results. This is followed by perhaps the most important step: applying the moisture-rich Tan Extender. This creamy lotion contains generous amounts of aloe, rosehip oil, and squalane to hydrate the Basal Cell area, restore and protect elementally damaged skin, and prolong tans for days and days.

If some of these ingredients sound exotic, it’s because wherever possible, Flawless emphasizes natural ingredients over synthetics. Both the Pre-Tan Exfoliator and Tan Extender are 100% natural and entirely chemical free. So, too, is its entire line of complementary Flawless Natural Suncare products (which is formulated to recognize that even the most faithful sunless tanning devotee has to venture into the daylight on occasion).
