Spray Tanning and your Skin

Spray tanning your skin is the healthiest for your skin in the long run. It has been created to prevent people from sunbathing and getting skin cancer. Those who continuously sun bathe or go to tanning salons and use UV tanning booths are also at a very high risk of premature aging.

People that have extreme ultraviolet sun exposure can look 20 years older. There are even some that get freckles or brown spots from the sun. It is clear that the sun is damaging to your skin and can also be deadly.

Spray tanning doesn’t have any of these side effects. So you get a glowing youthful look without the cost of your health. This is just a liquid solution made primarily from sugars. This liquid was discovered a long time ago when it was used for particular reasons. Whenever it spilled on skin, that area would darken. More research had been done and together with modern science; it was turned into a tanning agent.

The active ingredient in spray tanning machines is called dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It darkens the outermost layer of your skin called the epidermis. Dihydroxyacetone works with the dead skin and the proteins of your skin to produce a darkening effect. This colorless chemical works for all types of skin and skin colors.

If you have sensitive skin, or never tan so well this could be ideal for you. DHA had been approved by the Federal Drug Administration to be safe if applied topically. It is found in all tanning products, but none will give you the results as spray tanning would.

Spray tanning can also be called airbrush tanning as it works on your skin very evenly. This is a tan that most closely resembles a natural tan and acts very quickly. Although you need to give it 6 hours before washing it you can see results almost instantly.

You can get this done at a tanning salon in a tanning booth or a technician could apply it for you. Some people opt to buy the tanning equipment and are able make their own tan.

Spray tanning equipment is available in many brands and models. Some people buy a good quality brand and start a tanning business of their own.
