A beautiful, bronzed glow doesn't have to come from hours spent in the sun. As more people become aware of the effects that UV exposure can have on the skin - including premature aging, pigmentation concerns, and skin cancer risk - sunless tanning has become an increasingly popular alternatives. That's why we're excited to introduce Sunna Self Tanning products at Gina Studio Estetico.

Whether you're preparing for a special event, heading on vacation, or simply want to enhance your natural complexion, Sunna Tan offers a safe and effective way to achieve beautiful colour without the damage associated with sun exposure. 

Why More People Are Choosing Self Tanning Over Sun Exposure

For many years, a suntan was seen as sign of health and beauty, but growing awareness of the effects of UV exposure has led more people to seek safer alternatives for achieving a sun-kissed glow. Unfortunately, tanning from the sun is a sign of skin damage. When skin cells are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, they produce excess melanin to protect themselves from further injury, resulting in a visible tan. While the darker skin tone may be desirable to some, it indicated that UV rays have penetrated the skin and damaged cellular DNA. 

Over time, repeated UV exposure can break down the collagen and elastin fibers that help keep skin firm and tight. This can lead to premature wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and a rough or leathery skin texture. UV damage can also contribute to uneven pigmentation, dark spots, discoloration, and an increased risk of skin cancer. 

Fortunately, achieving a healthy-looking glow no longer requires spending hours in the sun. Sunna Tan offers a safe, Canadian-made alternative with clean, skin-loving formulas designed to create a natural-looking tan without the risks associated with UV exposure. Their easy-to-use self tanning products allow you to enjoy radiant, sun-kissed skin year-round while helping to protect your skin's long-term health.

What Makes Sunna Tan Different?

Sunna Tan was originally developed by two Canadian women who were tired of self tanners that were full of chemicals, smelled, and were harmful to people with sensitive skin and eczema. Their concept has always been 'Skin First and Gorgeous Tan' second. Sunna Tan prides itself on having a product that not only contains clean ingredients, but also functional.

How To Get The Best Self-Tanning Results

Proper preparation is essential for achieving a flawless, natural-looking self tan at home. For the best results, complete any hair removal and exfoliation 12-24 hours before applying your tanning product. This allows the skin time to settle and helps create a smooth, even canvas for application.

Before applying self tanner, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and free of deodorant, perfumes, or oil-based products. If you have particularly dry areas, such as the elbows, knees, ankles, or wrists, apply a light layer of oil-free moisturizer to help prevent excess colour absorption.

For the most even application, we recommend using an application mitt, back applicator and/or blending brush. Available alongside our Sunna Tan products, these tools help distribute colour evenly, reach difficult areas, and create a streak-free finish while preventing staining of the hands and palms.

Once applied, allow the self tanner to develop according to the product instructions before rinsing. To maintain your glow and prolong the life of your tan, keep your skin well hydrated with a daily moisturizer and avoid excess exfoliation. With proper preparation and aftercare, you can enjoy a beautiful, streak-free tan that fades evenly and naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Self Tanning

How long does a self tan last?

Depending on your skin preparation, moisturizing habits, and exfoliation routine, a self tan will typically last between 5-7 days before gradually fading. Proper exfoliation before application and daily moisturizing afterward can help extend the life of your tan and ensure it fades evenly.

Will self tanner make me look orange?

Sunna Tan products are formulated with clean, naturally derived ingredients and are designed to develop into a subtle, natural-looking golden glow. However, any self tanning product can appear orange if over-applied or if the shade is not suited to your skin tone. We recommend speaking with our team before purchasing so we can help you choose the best product for your skin tone, skin type, and desired level of colour.

Can I use self tanner on my face?

Yes, but we recommend using Sunna's Face Tan Water rather than a body tanning product. The skin on the face is more delicate and often more prone to congestions and breakouts. Face Tan Water has been specifically formulated for facial skin and contains hydrating and soothing ingredients that help promote a healthy-looking complexion while delivering a natural glow. Tanning mousses and lotions tend to be richer formulations that may not be ideal for facial use. 

 How often should I reapply self tanner?

The frequency of application depends on your desired level of colour. All Sunna tanning products can be used regularly, but for a subtle glow, reapplication approximately once per week is often sufficient. For a deeper, more bronzed complexion, we recommend using the Gradual Tanning Lotion daily until your desired shade is achieved, then reapplying as needed to maintain your results.

Do self tanning products protect against the sun?

No, Sunna self tanning products do not contain SPF or UV-blocking ingredients. While they provide a beautiful sun-kissed appearance, they do not protect the skin from sun damage. We strongly recommend incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily skincare routine, regardless of whether you use self tanning products.
