A tanned appearance remains appealing to a large segment of the population despite dermatologists' admonitions regarding the hazards of ultraviolet light exposure. A variety of products have been introduced as a substitute for UV-induced tanning. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) containing sunless or self-tanners are the most popular. The properties and use of these products are the focus of this review. DHA also provides some limited UV protection. Color cosmetics as an alternative to tanning are also described.
