1 / How well use your lotion?

The use of a self-tanning lotion is subject to weather conditions.
it is obvious that all self-tanning lotions have poor resistance to perspiration (sweating).
Normal, because DHA is deposited on the skin's surface layer "small dead skins" and that these "small dead skin" are naturally removed with sweating or rubbing.

Therefore:

1) - apply the lotion to the cooler time of day (early morning or evening)
2) - after application, avoid evolve in an atmosphere at a temperature above 35 ° C (car exposed to the sun)
3) - wear black underwears (avoid silk), and loose clothing (not too close to the body)
4) - Avoid prolonged sitting in non-air-conditioned car or in an overheated room.
Important: Do not expose yourself to the sun because a self-tanning lotion is not a sunscreen.
(It may take part in the acceleration of natural tanning under certain conditions)
5) - Pigments (RED33, YELLOW5 and BLUE1) integrated into the composition of the lotion, made for the sole purpose of serving tracer to visualize treated areas and provide immediate coloration of the skin close to the final color of "tanning" .

This staining is variable depending on the original skin tone of the subject. The final color can be different (lighter) on very white skins.

2/ How to know if your lotion will work on me?

We recommend that do a test by applying a small part of the body (a square on the forearm) lotion with latex sponge and wait twenty minutes to see the result (DHA effect begins 20 minutes after application). The final result is obtained after 3 hours.

With the application by the Airtan, you can overlay layers to get the color you like.

3/ Does your lotion leave prints on clothes ?

During your first shower after application (avoiding the bath after the session), you will find dark traces in the shower tray.

Do not panic! it is the temporary coloring pigments that are leaving, not the "tan". Rinse with warm water simply.

It may remain on the towel or bed linen. You remove a washing machine temperature indicated.

For your skin health, we recoment use moisturizing the skin daily.

4/  On my skin Permatan does not take as long as indicate because after two days, the color faded over 60%. Why?
If we get 80% satisfaction rate with our Skin Tone Corrector, face and body PERMATAN ® DHA8 for the camouflage of Vitiligo, it remains 20% of cases where "it does not work." The reasons are various and well known.

First, it is indicated apply directly the lotion on the skin for the chemical reaction "Maillard reaction" can occur. The active agent contained in the lotion, DHA molecule, acts by chemical reaction called "Maillard reaction" of keratins in the stratum corneum of the skin, creating a more natural-looking tan than conventional tanning lotions.

This method of "artificial tanning" does not intervene melanocytes and no production of melanin.

At the end of the Maillard reaction is obtained melanoidins and water.

The melanoidin is a brown pigment, present on the surface of the skin, which will give the tan.

DHA acts only on dead cells (cells with no nucleus) of the stratum corneum.

The effect of the Skin Tone Corrector is limited in time, in fact after four to six days, the color disappears. This occurs because of the peeling of the skin, is the elimination of the superficial layers of the epidermis.

All that to say that it is normal that the color disappears after some time.

This varies with the speed of removal of dead skin on the surface of the stratum corneum.

 

5 / On your website, there is a photo of a person of color who uses Permatan® Skin Tone Corrector. Depending on the picture, after 20 minutes, the spots on the legs almost "disappeared". Could you please explain to me how come?
Regarding the photos published on the dermask.com site, they were taken for a makeup workshop organized by the French Association of Vitiligo in Paris in 2005.

There is no faking.

The tasks were almost "disappeared" twenty minutes after the application of the lotion PERMATAN ® DHA8 as the Maillard reaction starts twenty minutes after applying the lotion and lasts about three hours to reach its climax in warm conditions and normal air humidity. To speed up the chemical reaction, it is sufficient to heat the surface of the skin treated with a hairdryer. This presents the risk of drying out the skin. We do not recommend it.

 

6 / The photo of the man with a small beard, Will the bear becomes colored ?

Hair color remains natural because DHA has no effect on hair.

If the bristles are white, they are simply colored by pigments contained in the lotion which will eliminate under the first shower, or in warm water. This is the difference with a covering cream.

7 / Why do you not mention in the manual that if one puts Permatan only on the spots, do not cover 100%, but leave about 1 mm because the color will spread and cover the stain completely. I have experienced.

There is no single method to camouflage the depigmented areas of Vitiligo.

Some people have hyperpigmented areas on the edge next to the depigmented areas. For these people, it is recommended not to overflow by applying the lotion. For others, it is ineffective or it is recommended to apply the lotion with a sprayer in order to have a uniform layer of product on the whole surface of the face or body.

Each person, adapts his camouflage according to the results they want.

8 / How long can i keep the lotion after Best Before Use ?

The Best Before Use is the expiry date. Our tanning lotion Skin Tone Corrector PERMATAN ®  to expiration of twenty four months from manufacture. The active agent of the lotion is DHA natural molecule which is sensitive to light, in contact with air and thermal variations.

9 / How to know if your lotion is not harmful to my health?

You can copy the formula of our lotion published on our sites and show it to your doctor. The face and body tanning lotion Skin Tone Corrector PERMATAN DHA8 ® contains no allergens, it was filed in the poison control centers of PARIS - LYON - MARSEILLE.

10 / How to apply the lotion?

The Skin Tone Corrector PERMATAN ®  is applied directly to the skin in several applications if necessary, until the desired color.
The tanning effect results obtained with our PERMATAN ® DHA8 lotion are the same as the application is made to the sponge, brush, or spray applicatuer glove Airtan PERMATAN ®

The method is:

- Applying lotion after a shower (not hot) to the body,

and / or

- Misting on the face and neck with a water mist

dry the skin with a towel before applying the lotion

For elbows, apply a little lotion and "rub lightly with the palm of the hand" as on the legs

(You have twenty minutes to wash your hands with soap to lotion from the risk of giving a light orange color with your palms - nothing disturbing).

11/Does your product contain perfume?

YES – Note Monoï fragrance to mask the smell of DHA.
 This perfume, without allergen, quickly disappears after the application of the product on the skin.

12 / Does your product become orange on the skin (like the majority of products)?

NO - there is no orange effect on the skin. However, we can not guarantee it 100% but we have a satisfaction rate of over eighty percent in the corrective makeup on Vitiligo spots on healthy skin and other Caucasian type in

except very dark skin. In the case of Vitiligo on black skin, our sunless tanning lotion PERMATAN ® DHA8 uses coloring based on the depigmented areas before applying a covering cream. The inefficiency of DHA on black skin comes from the characteristics of the molecule.

This is not the PERMATAN® lotion that causes the orange effect, but excessive intake of beta-carotene has the side effect light orange or yellow coloring of the skin, which disappears as soon as the massive consumption stops. Follow the recommendations of your doctor who will explain the adverse effects of over-consumption of Beta Carotene and Selenium.

AND FOR US MEN:

13 / I am a man. I have vitiligo for long time and I don’t like use makeup every day to go to work. What is the benefit of using your lotion?

The advantage in using a self-tanning lotion is precisely that it is no longer necessary to apply makeup in the morning and evening cleansing as with a covering cream.
In addition, the appearance of the tan looks more natural. No greasy marks on shirt collars.

14 / I am very annoyed because I have Vitiligo spots on the belly, thighs and my testicles. Is your lotion effective on the genitals?
The self-tanning lotion PERMATAN ® can be applied to all parts of the body. It is perfectly effective camouflage depigmented areas on the genitals.
Its advantage is not to give the feeling of "stickiness" as a cover cream.

15 / Why it stings if I pass your lotion immediately after I shaved?

The tanning PERMATAN ® lotion contains alcohol which enables rapid drying on the skin and a better distribution of the particles in the spray cone.
To prevent feel tingling on freshly shaved skin, we recommend applying the lotion mixed with moisturizer on the chin. Or wait for the "razor burn" calmed down for applying the lotion.

16 / I wear a beard. I'm not likely to color my hair and my beard?

The active silver (DHA molecule) does not act on the bristles. If you have a highly developed hair, just pass a tissue on your beard or your hair to remove excess lotion in it. Anyway, lotion particles that are on your hair naturally leave with friction, or from your first shower.

17 / Do I put my toilet water after applying your lotion?

That's no problem. Monoi fragrance fades quickly.
Just wait 20 minutes for the active agent begins to take effect on the skin.

18 / Why have I hydrate my skin?

The skin is an organ in constant contact with the outside.
The skin plays a role exchange but also and especially outside barrier.
The surface layer of the skin called stratum corneum is indeed the first rampart protecting the skin, in the form of a thin film.
If the horny layer is weakened, the skin barrier is broken and the skin becomes more vulnerable to external attacks.
Moisturizing the skin is therefore to strengthen the stratum corneum and all of the skin.
