There is an alternative to sunbathing. It is called sunless tanning, airbrush tanning or spray tanning. This is a healthier choice to golden one's skin without the risk of sun damage. Indoor tanning salons became popular in the 1980s. Today, it has become a $2 billion a year industry within the United States.
Since early 2000s, airbrush tanning has taken over the world. It offers people a way to maintain a healthy looking tone without the harmful sun UV rays. In addition, this is another way for people to stay away from other tanning methods such as tanning beds. The most exciting part about sunless tanning is they look good and natural.
How does it work?
Airbrush tanning works by applying a special mist on the body. The process can be an automated booth or hand applied. The product includes something called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This interacts with dead skin cells by dyeing them golden brown cosmetically.
Depending on a booth or hand applications, the mist will be water or oil based. People with sensitive skin should choose the water base. Most salons offer different levels of darkening. Someone with pale skin should not go too dark to avoid looking fake—no matter the quality of the product.
Do Spray Tans look Natural?
In spray tanning, the mist will temporarily make the skin golden brown—not orange. The skin color changes from the chemical mist. If applied correctly, there is no worry about streaks on the skin. The products have been well tested to ensure even the fairest skin can get a golden glow.
How Long Does it Stay on for?
Depending on how the spray tan is maintained. It can last approximately five to seven days. If before a session, one exfoliates the dead skin will have a better chance for a longer tan. In addition avoiding harsh dry soaps will also help keep the glow on for more time. Finally, always make sure the skin is moisturized well.
Will it stain my clothes?
Since spray tan is a colorless mist that changes against the skin, it doesn't stain clothing. If the film from the mist does get on clothes, it can wash off easily. This doesn't mean to wear your favorite white dress or tee-shirt to a session. Also, sweating can cause the DHA to get on clothes as well.
