Basic Info on Artificial Tanning

basic-info-on-artificial-tanningDon’t let cloudy days keep you from getting a fabulous tan the quick, safe and easy way. Here are some quick tanning facts:

Is airbrush tanning safe? Yes! The Dihydroxyacetone in the tanning solution has been FDA approved for use for over twenty years. Minor skin irritations on allergic people are eliminated after showering. However, this is not recommended use by pregnant women.

How does the tanning solution work? The active ingredient in almost all modern sunless tanning solutions is Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). A colorless sugar DHA interacts with the proteins and amino acids in the outer layer of your skin to produce a golden brown color.

How long does airbrush tanning last? Your tan will last approximately seven days or longer depending upon your ability to follow a proper daily moisturizing regimen and your lifestyle. An airbrush tan fades just like a tan from the sun. As you slough off dead skin cells off with it goes your tan. Proper skin hydration is the key to maximum longevity.

How do I prepare for my tanning session? Prior to being tanned you should exfoliate using a body brush or quality scrub. Removing any dead cells and body oils will help the sunless tanner penetrate your skin and give you the best results. Do not use moisturizer prior to being tanned as they can clog pores and prohibit proper penetration. Makeup and deodorants can also prohibit absorption and should also be removed prior to tanning.

Why is an airbrush used for application? The airbrush is a precision instrument that allows for a smooth, flawless application. Misting booths are imprecise; resulting in uneven tanning or worse, tans lines or gaps in hard to reach areas. The airbrush, with its inherent precision and flexibility, is by far the application method of choice.
