Detan

De‑Tan (often styled "Detan" or "D‑Tan") encompasses a variety of skincare products, facials, and salon protocols aimed at reducing sun-induced skin darkening, restoring radiance, and balancing tone. The process works by:

1. Cleansing & Exfoliation – Removing dirt, oil, and dead skin layers so lighter, fresher skin emerges
2. Active Brightening Ingredients – Leveraging agents like turmeric, sandalwood, kojic acid, licorice extract, Vitamin C, alpha arbutin, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and papaya enzymes to inhibit melanin, reduce pigmentation, and boost glow
3. Masking or Massage Treatments – Applying clay-based packs or massage creams to calm and hydrate post-exfoliation
4. Sunscreen & Moisture Maintenance – Preventing tan recurrence and preserving a healthy skin barrier

Typical Routine

• Use a de‑tan cleanser daily or as directed.

• Apply a weekly face and body de‑tan mask or scrub.

• Follow up with a moisturizer and SPF 30+ sunscreen.

Benefits

• Evens out skin tone, reduces discoloration, and restores radiance.

• Provides gentle exfoliation that refreshes appearance.

• Improves absorption of skincare products.

Considerations

• Frequency typically ranges from 1–2 times per week, depending on skin sensitivity and exposure

• Always perform a patch test to avoid irritation, especially with potent actives (e.g., acids).

• Essential to follow with hydration and sun protection to maintain gains and prevent re-tanning.
