A composition for providing enhanced skin appearance, particularly in terms of providing the appearance of reduced dryness and flakiness for an extended period of time, is disclosed. The compositions include low levels of skin coloring agents, including self-tanning compounds, such as dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and/or erythrulose, in a topical cosmetic base. The levels of self-tanning compounds utilized are lower than those typically found in self-tanning compositions. A method for enhancing skin appearance utilizing those compositions is also disclosed. |
