Spray tanning has come a very long way! Orange tans can easily be avoided by working with an experienced and certified spray tan artist. Spray tanning is a popular method for achieving a tan without exposing your skin to the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun or a tanning bed. During spray tanning, a fine mist of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colorless sugar, is applied to the skin using an airbrush or handheld sprayer. When the DHA comes into contact with the skin, it reacts with the amino acids in the dead cells on the surface of the skin, creating a brownish color that mimics a natural tan.
There are several benefits to spray tanning:
No sun exposure: One of the main benefits of spray tanning is that it allows you to achieve a tan without exposing your skin to the damaging UV rays of the sun. Sun exposure is the leading cause of skin cancer and can also cause premature aging, including wrinkles and age spots. By choosing spray tanning, you can enjoy the look of a tan without putting your skin at risk.
Customizable color: With spray tanning, you can choose the shade of your tan to match your natural skin tone or to achieve a more dramatic look. This allows you to customize your tan to your preferences.
Quick and convenient: Spray tanning is a quick and convenient way to achieve a tan. A spray tan session typically takes less than 20 minutes, and the tan will develop over the next few hours.
You have options that allow you to wear the tanning solution for as little as an hour! You can rinse and get on with your day while your tan continues to develop over the next 20 hours without the risk of ruining your tan.
Safe for all skin types: Spray tanning is a safe option for people with all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema.
No risk of skin damage: Unlike sun exposure or tanning bed use, spray tanning does not damage the skin. It does not cause sunburn or other types of skin irritation.
Overall, spray tanning is a safe and convenient way to achieve a tan without exposing your skin to the damaging UV rays of the sun. It is a good option for those who want to enjoy the look of a tan without the risks associated with sun exposure.
