  intro: "Gradual tan is self-tanning for people who don't want to think about self-tanning. The DHA concentration is lower than a standard tan — typically two to three percent versus four to six — so you apply it as part of a regular moisturising step and the colour builds incrementally. There is no dramatic reveal. You use it for several days, your skin takes on a warmer tone, and if you stop, it fades over the usual one-to-two-week window as surface skin sheds. The advantage is no waiting period, no risk of sudden depth, and no special technique required beyond what you'd do with body lotion. The limitation is that you cannot reach dramatic depth this way — the formulation won't allow it. For light-to-medium warmth with no commitment, it's the right tool. For significant colour change in a short window, it isn't.",

  defn: {
    h: "Why gradual tan behaves differently",
    body: "Standard self-tanners deposit DHA at four to six percent — enough for visible colour within four to eight hours. Gradual formulas use two to three percent, which produces a subtle colour shift per application. After three to five daily applications you have accumulated enough DHA reactions to see meaningful warmth. The same fade rules apply: surface skin sheds over one to two weeks, taking the colour with it, at a rate that varies with exfoliation habits and how often you shower.",
  },
  myths: [
    { m: "Gradual tan is safer than regular self-tan.",
      t: "The DHA chemistry is identical. Lower concentration means a subtler result per application, not a meaningfully different ingredient profile. Always patch test before full application, regardless of format." },
    { m: "You don't need to exfoliate before gradual tan.",
      t: "You still do. Gradual formulas build on the surface, and rough or flaky skin produces an uneven base over time. A light exfoliation every few days keeps the buildup even." },
    { m: "Stopping gradual tan causes a sudden fade.",
      t: "Colour from gradual tan fades at the same rate as any DHA product — slowly, as surface skin sheds. There is no sudden drop. It simply stops being maintained and fades over a week or two." },
