Sunless Spray Tan

Dihydroxyacetone or DHA is the substance that sunless spray tan products use as a main ingredient; this chemical causes the browning of the skin thanks to an interaction with the amino acids in the dermis. The use of sunless spray tan does not involve pigmentation or ultraviolet exposure for the initiation of the coloring process. The main impact on the skin is the color change that lasts from three to ten days. Longer effects are achieved if the sunless spray tan combines DHA with another chemical: erythrulose, that prolongs the brownish look. Sunless and safe, this is the advantage of modern tanning systems.

Quality sunless spray tan products carry an FDA certification, but even so, there are cases when the ingredients of the treatments are not tolerated by the body. The most serious health problem generated by the application of a sunless spray tan is contact dermatitis triggered by the poor tolerance of erythrulose or DHA. And here we have a clear reason why every cosmetic treatment should be first tested on a small skin portion. It could take a few hours before the absorption is complete, and in order to be safe from allergies, do not apply the sunless spray tan until twenty four hours after the test.

If the skin remains clear in this time interval, then, it means that you tolerate the sunless spray tan well and that you may use it in safe conditions. Sunless spray tan can be applied either in cosmetic salons and spas or at home. The professional application is superior to any DIY solution, and the difference appears in the natural look, the uniformity of the tan and the color. Spray tan booths provide the most advanced tanning technology you can find, but the cost of the treatment is a bit higher than the rest of the methods.

In the case of the air-brusher, the sunless spray tan may not be perfect given the fact that overlapping is possible. Even so, the air-brusher is a superior technique to lotions and creams. A thin mist of tanning agents is atomized on the body, with the possibility to apply it twice for deep tan shades. Before the use of the sunless spray tan, make sure that the skin is clean, exfoliated and dry, but not oily.

Spray Tans

There seems to be some sort of fascination with the golden glow of skin, you almost come to feel more confident, slimmer and you definitely manage to camouflage all the small imperfections. Tanning really tests our modernity without any doubt. And since sun tanning is no longer popular because of the risks of developing skin cancer, cosmetic solutions became necessary to satisfy people’s liking of brownish skin. Spray tans, airbrushers, body lotions and gels can be successfully used to create various shades of tan. Whether you choose to go to a salon or you prefer the do-it-yourself formula, spray tans enjoy the highest sales in this cosmetic industry sector.

Spray tans applied with professional equipment will always look more uniform. Booths that resemble enclosed shower stalls get placed in the top: the application of the tan is regular, quick and very easy, since the sunless tanning solution is spread all over the body in a thin film. Spray tans can be used at home too, but it is much cleaner and professional to go to salons and spas. The advantage that comes with professional application is the multitude of options and the availability of the equipment: spray tans can be applied with an LVLP spray gun, with a HVLP spray gun or with an airbrush.

Before the use of the spray tans, the skin should be prepared for the procedure by exfoliation. Afterwards the technician spreads the tan from head to toe by a simple misting procedure. DHA is the compound that browns the skin, the substance which poses no health threat by toxicity according to the American Food and Drug Administration. The cosmetic usage of the ingredient is common in many European countries as well as in Canada.

Althogh DHA spray tans are considered the most efficient and reliable on the market, there are many other tanning solutions available such as gels and lotions. Tanning accelerators also include tanning pills that release tyrosine in the body, triggering the formation of melanin in the skin cells. Many such products are efficient when used in combination with ultraviolet exposure, however, such a cosmetic treatment is not always the best solution possible. Maybe spray tans are not a necessity, but they surely make one look better. And if boost self-confidence with a bit of tanning, there is no harm do at all.
