description for Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel

The traditional sins of sunless tanning products are well known. For years consumers have had to contend with products that produce unnatural, uneven skin coloration and a strangely flat and painted-on look. The good news from Cellex-C is that it has made an extraordinary advance in sunless tanning.

Bio-Tan is a unique botanical based self-tanning gel. While standard tanning formulations work by staining the amino acids at the very surface of the skin, Cellex-C's proprietary Bio-Tan process generates the tan predominately in the lower skin layers. By going deeper into the skin, the golden toned protients project their color through the skin's translucent layers, thus stimulating the way in which a natural tan radiates from the skin's brown pigment. The result is a much closer emulation of the color and lively luminous look of natural sun tanning.

The peach colored Bio-Tan gel is easy to apply and very easy to live with. It smoothly assimilates with the skin without streaking or tightening and it has a wonderfully fresh scent.

Benefits:

• Bio-Tan works at a deeper level than other self-tanning products. The unique proprietary process creates color that projects from ‘within the skin’ in a similar way that the color of a natural tan radiates from the skin’s melanin pigment. This simulates the translucent glow associated with a naturally induced suntan.
• The formula does not have the tell-tale chemical odor usually associated with self-tanning products.
• Color is smooth and even with the lively luminous look of a natural tan. There’s nothing closer to the real tan.
• Expect a golden glow that lasts up to three days.
• Can be used on all skin types.
• Bio-Tan Sunless Tanning Gel may be used as often as you like to create and maintain your desired depth of tan.

Directions For Use:

• The secret to this natural looking tan is exfoliation. Exfoliate your skin with Cellex-C Speed Peel & Polish Gel before applying or re-applying Bio-Tan. It makes all the difference.
• Spread a generous amount of Bio-Tan Gel over your face and neck. Avoid eye area, eyebrows and hairline.
• Do not blend at this stage. Allow one minute for the product to be absorbed into the upper layers of your skin. Then, gently massage any excess gel into your skin. Use the same procedure for other areas of your body. Wear a loose, old T-shirt and baggy pants until step 6 is completed.
• Wash your hands with warm water and soap immediately after applying Bio-Tan. Then, using the sponge wedgie provided, apply the gel to your fingers and back of your hands if desired.
• Apply an oil-free moisturizer to your face—Cellex-C Sea Silk—or to your body—Body Sheen & Toning Gel—to give your skin an extra glow. If your preferred moisturizer contains oil, wait 20 minutes before applying it as it may interfere with the color development.
• After 3—4 hours, gently wipe your skin with a warm, damp washcloth. This will remove excess superficial color left on the surface of your skin. You will notice how the tan now reflects through your skin giving a totally natural light golden tanned appearance. If a deeper tan is desired, repeat the application of Bio-Tan.
• To keep your tan looking fresh and natural, exfoliate every 2—3 days with Cellex-C’s Speed Peel & Polish Gel and then reapply Bio-Tan following the same steps as before.

reviews for Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel

Featured Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel review: Lisa Overall Rating Love it! - 4/29/2008 3:26:52 AM This tanning gel is wonderful. It feels light, non-greasy, and unlike other tanners I have used, has a nice smell when applying and then later on my skin. It gives my skin a natural bronze color. It's my 'must have'!!! Featured Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel review: Cynthia Denton Overall Rating Perfect - 7/10/2007 7:28:44 AM Great natural looking tan and no smell!!! Finally a great tanning product and easy to use. Featured Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel review: raraneo Overall Rating Not for the fair skinned! - 6/18/2007 6:05:26 AM I was excited to buy this based on all the reviews, however, I was REALLY disappointed. I am fair skinned with red hair and this is the old run of the mill tanners that make you look ORANGE and blotchy. And it doesn't blend very well. I could have done better shopping at the drug store with a $10 product! There IS a smell to it too (not as bad as others but still there). This was a complete waste of money. I have tried everything and the BEST so far (especially if you are fair) is FAKE BAKE. Fake Bake is the easiest to blend and you have the option of building a tan by applying it a couple nights in a row and it makes you BROWN not orange.
