If you spend time outdoors, sunscreen remains essential. Sunless tanning pills, which typically contain the color additive canthaxanthin, aren't safe.
When taken in large amounts, canthaxanthin can turn your skin orange or brown and cause hives, liver damage and impaired vision. Topical sunless tanning products are generally considered safe alternatives to sunbathing, as long as they're used as directed. However, the FDA states that DHA shouldn't be inhaled or applied to areas covered by mucous membranes, including the lips, nose or areas around the eyes because the risks of doing so are unknown.
If you're using a sunless tanning product at home, follow the directions on the label and don't get the product in your eyes, nose or mouth. If you're going to a sunless tanning booth, ask how your eyes, mouth, nose and ears will be protected and how you will be protected from inhaling the tanning spray.

Typically instant tanners develop completely anywhere between 1 and 8 hours, depending on the formula. Many of them are specifically designed so that the longer you leave them on, the darker the color develops. Many instant tanners also contain a guide color, but not all of them. A guide color is a form of bronzer essentially makeup that give your skin an instant color, which helps you to know where the product has been applied, and in what thickness.
This bronzer is not permanent, and will simply wipe or wash away easily. The reason that more instant self-tanners contain bronzer, than gradual self-tanners do, is that the product develops much quicker, so mistakes are more noticeable.
