Self Tanners FAQ

QUESTION:
Do non-smelly self-tanners exist?

ANSWER:
Since dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the active ingredient in every single formula, creates both the color and the odor, we were surprised to find that St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse ($30; sttropeztan.com) gives off almost no scent at all. Cosmetic chemist Tim Whiteley says the company achieved this mini-miracle by "chemically altering the molecule and blending fragrance compounds." The Xen-Tan Scent Secure moisturizer ($32; xen-tan.com) can also be applied over your favorite sunless tanner, replacing the "after-tan" smell with a fresh cucumber melon scent.
