Why do sunless tanners make me smell so gross?
A. That funky sunless-tanner smell (which has been described as somewhere between the odor of burning flesh and cat pee) is due to the chemical reaction taking place between your skin and the key ingredient in sunless tanners — dihydroxyacetone (DHA). It’s that reaction that causes your skin color to turn tawny. The smell typically goes away when you next shower.
