How Does Betatan™ Work?
Everything you need to know about dosage, preparation, and getting the best results from your spray.
Betatan™ increases the skin's production of melanocytes — the brown pigment that darkens when exposed to the sun. By stimulating melanocytes, users darken quicker and burn less.
Most importantly, you avoid long sun exposure, which reduces skin damage and aging. For best results, use Betatan™ in conjunction with light UV exposure.
- ✓ Less sun exposure needed
- ✓ Easy to use — just a nasal spray
- ✓ Quick results from week one
- ✓ Cost-effective vs. spray tans & salons
- ✓ Proven effective across all skin types
