Sun Protection & Tan

Understand what sun exposure does to your skin - and how to protect and reverse it.

Tanning and sun damage happen when UV rays trigger your skin to produce extra melanin as a defence mechanism, darkening the skin and, over time, contributing to uneven tone, dullness, and premature ageing. Daily, unprotected sun exposure - even on cloudy days or indoors near windows - adds up faster than most people realize.

How It Can Be Treated

Prevention matters more than correction here. Daily sunscreen is the single most effective step against further tanning and sun damage, while a gentle, regular cleansing routine with tone-evening actives helps reverse existing tan and restore a more even complexion over time.

Recommended Ingredients

Evens tone, controls oil, and strengthens the skin barrier.

How long until my tan fades?

Visible reduction in tan and improved tone typically takes 3-4 weeks of daily use, alongside consistent sunscreen use to prevent new tanning.

Do I need sunscreen even if I'm mostly indoors?

Yes - UV rays pass through windows and contribute to sun damage even without direct outdoor exposure.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

Every 3-4 hours if you're outdoors or in direct sun; once in the morning is enough for mostly indoor days.

Can I use the detan soap on my body too?

Yes - it's suitable for daily use on both face and body.

Will this permanently prevent tanning?

No skincare product can fully prevent tanning without consistent sunscreen use - these products work best as part of a daily protection and reversal routine, not a one-time fix.
