AYU Sunless Tanning Solutions for Melanin-Rich Skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)
At AYU Sunless, we believe radiant skin comes in every shade. For clients with melanin-rich skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), sunless tanning isn’t about getting darker; it’s about achieving even tone, Hydration, and a healthy glow while supporting skin confidence and natural brilliance.
Why Melanin-Rich Skin Benefits from Sunless Tanning
Clients with deeper skin tones (Dark brown to deep black)often turn to sunless tanning to:
✔️ Even out areas that appear uneven or dull (legs, arms, chest)
✔️ Reduce ashiness caused by dryness or buildup
✔️ Add a soft, hydrated radiance
✔️ Create a flawless-looking finish for events, photoshoots, or daily confidence
✔️ Hydrate skin for a more even fade pattern
