Still--I've wondered why all the self-tanners I've seen smell kind of funny. Not like normal lotion, but kind of stinky.

Tanning with DHA isn't safe either, since the amount of free radicals significantly increases when skin is exposed to sunlight. Pale is pretty. I'm sure they would agree with me back in the old days or in Asia. It’s pathetic people go to so much trouble to get a tan.

This made me wonder about the effects of self tanners if combined with microdermabrasion. I know that it is common practice to use certain skin products right after a microdermabrasion session in order to maximize the products effect. Does this same concept hold true for self tanner?
