Self-tanning lotions contains dihydroxyacetone and various dyes. it is possible for these chemicals to cause dermatitis with redness, itching and discomfort. There is another chemical, called sodium metabisulfate, in some lotions. It can also cause skin reactions.read the contents of the lotion,stop using them for sometime,exposing to sun and using tanning lotions is contradictory
