November 29, 2006 on 11:44 am by Mortenson

bio_tan.jpgSometimes a product comes along that leaves a big impression. You love it and you love the results. Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel is one of those products that will have you swearing to never be without it. It is botanically based, has no funky chemical odors and delivers a super natural sun-kissed sunless tan!

Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel is an advanced formula of self tanning that combines natural sugars (Erythulose) and DHA that work together to product a natural sunless tan that will glow for up to 3 days. This formula works a bit differently from other formulas in the way the product reacts to the skin to produce the self tanning effects. Most formulas actually stain the outer skin surface. Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel penetrates the lower skin layers and starts to work there, giving a natural glow as it projects through the skin’s translucent layers. This action is similar to the effects of a real tan and the way the sun reacts with the natural brown pigments of the skin. The end result is a very smooth and natural tan that is hard to tell apart from a natural tan from the sun.

Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel is a light peach color with a fresh scent and no strong chemical odors. It is a greaseless formula, lightweight, streak-free and can be used by all skin types. Color will last up to 3 days. Repeat application as needed for a smooth and even sun-kissed glow.

Directions

Application is a little different with Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel. Directions state to spread the gel over you skin and let it sit for at least one minute. This allows for absorption into the outer layers ofskin. Next gently massage into skin.

Cellex-C Bio Tan Sunless Tanning Gel comes in a 241 ml. bottle and is priced at $75.00. You can purchase it online at Skinstore.com and receive free shipping!
