What makes a tanning spray, liquid or lotion organic? Many organic supplies contain EcoCert DHA or Dihydroxyacetone, an extract from beets and sugar cane. DHA reacts with the amino acids located in the protein of your skin. The combination creates a temporary darkening that appears as an attractive tan. Besides granting you a flattering tan, DHA also tightens the skin and makes it appear more youthful. Many people enjoy the light, floral scent of an organic tans.

Here are recommendations on tanning supplies you can buy to maintain your sunless tan:

• Stock up on disposable tanning wipes for use before a sunless tanning session.
• Try a tanning foam for great coverage. Some tanning solutions take as little as one hour to appear while other, deeper tans set overnight.
• A tan eraser is a good skin care tool to keep around when you tan. It's hard to avoid the occasional streak or spot. With a tan eraser, you can correct unevenness in tone by exfoliating the area. You may also need an applicator mitt if you decide to use a tanning solution.
• Purchase an organic, tinted body moisturizer. You can prolong an organic tan with daily moisturization treatments. Apply this subtle tanner after shaving and showering.

Sunless tans typically last 5 to 7 days. This time period can vary from person to person according to skin type as well as exposure to surf and sand. If you want to try an organic tan, visit www.thetanningstore.com for safe, affordable tanning supplies.
