  deck: "Self-tan fades as surface skin sheds. The goal of maintenance is not to slow shedding — it's to keep the surface smooth and hydrated so colour fades evenly and looks good until it's gone.",
  intro: "DHA colour deposits in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of dead surface cells. Those cells shed continuously — faster if you exfoliate often, take hot showers, swim in chlorinated water, or use acidic skincare. The colour goes with them. You cannot stop this process. What you can do is slow the rate of uneven shedding, which is what makes a tan look patchy and aged rather than clean and faded. Daily moisture is the single most effective maintenance step: hydrated skin sheds more uniformly. Avoiding aggressive exfoliation between applications keeps the surface consistent. When you're ready to top up, light exfoliation removes the uneven remnants and gives you a fresh, even surface for the next layer. The typical well-maintained self-tan should look good for seven to ten days. Without maintenance, five to seven days and it starts to mottle.",

const EXTENDING_TAN_QUICK_FACTS = {
  defn: {
    h: "Why tans fade — and how maintenance affects it",
    body: "DHA colour sits in the uppermost dead skin cells. Those cells shed at a rate influenced by your skin's own turnover cycle, shower habits, the temperature of water, and any physical or chemical exfoliation you do. Maintenance does not slow the fundamental shedding process — it keeps it even. Daily moisturiser keeps surface cells plump and adherent so they shed more uniformly. Gentle cleansing avoids stripping the surface barrier. The result is colour that fades evenly over a longer window rather than patchily over a shorter one.",

  myths: [
    { m: "You can lock in self-tan so it doesn't fade.",
      t: "DHA colour is not locked in — it lives in cells that shed on a biological schedule. You can influence how evenly those cells shed, but you cannot prevent the process. Every tan fades as surface skin sheds." },
    { m: "A top-up application stops fading and resets the tan.",
      t: "A top-up application adds new colour on top of fading old colour. If the old colour is uneven at the time of re-application, the new layer develops on that uneven base. Always do a light exfoliation before topping up, even if the tan isn't fully faded." },
    { m: "Hot showers don't affect self-tan that much.",
      t: "Hot water softens the skin surface and accelerates shedding — noticeably so. Cool or lukewarm showers extend even fading. This is one of the simplest changes with a clear practical effect." },
