Sunless tanners smell good at first but after an hour or so a very noticeable stench wafts around making you sniff your pits thinking, “Is that me?” The key ingredient making commercial products work also cause us to smell horrible. You think manufacturers would work this out and yet the only thing they have done is included an added scent hoping to mask the odor. This makes the product smell good when first opened or applied but later the same embarrassing smell returns causing you to wreak. Well, no more, I have the solution using ingredients from your own kitchen. This homemade self-tanner is organic, good for skin, saves money, works instantly and smells good from start to finish. In fact, you will smell good enough to eat and that is never a bad thing.

Why Self Tanners Stink
The Tell-Tale Smell of Sunless Tanners
The active ingredient in sunless tanners cause a chemical reaction when coming in contact with the amino acids in our skin ultimately creating that gorgeous glow. This is what takes a bit of time and also the cause of that terrible odor. Dihydroxyacetone or DHA is the substance both responsible for the effortless glow and the unwanted smell. This awful stink will not go away until you shower to scrub away the clingy odor. This is not good for the brand new layer of colored skin. Showering to get rid of the bad smell also gets rid of the layer of skin holding onto the tan. It is a lose/lose situation.
Cosmetic companies make big bank selling the pricey self-tanners. These companies have been hard at work to convince us they have solved the problem of the stink. This is not true the added scents geared to cover up the odor only mask it for a short time. There is no way around it, the key components in convenient self-tanner sprays, jells and lotions are the reason it works and the reason it stinks.

Sunless Self-Tanner Warning
Caution Sunless Tanners Do Cause Unpleasant Odor
What is that terrible smell?
I am a fair skinned red head who loves a sun kissed glow, honestly it makes any of us look better. Laying out in the sun is out of the question for my light skin, I would burn not tan. Exposure to the sun is not the answer for anyone seeking the perfect glowing tan, we all know it is a health hazard, time consuming and speeds up the aging process. Sunless tanners are expensive transforming into a horrible odor that is so bad we just can’t explain it. One thing for certain, anyone and everyone who comes into contact with the self-tanner after effects notice it. It is very offensive, a huge turn off and sends people running from your stinky self anytime you wear a sunless tanner.
