Loading ...A nice tan is something only the modern man can appreciate since in the past brown skin used to the a symbol of the lower classes. Tanning is fashionable, but there is no safety in sun exposure. Even so, many alternatives have appeared to help people make their fashion statement, from tanning beds and tanning pills, to tanning lotions, spray suntan and tanning booths. The application of spray suntan requires the use of special equipment. Let’s see how this artificial tanning works and what the specificity of the method is.
Spray suntan is a more advantageous solution of skin browning as compared to lotions, creams or pills. First of all, it is safe and harmless for one’s health. Spray suntan products contain some non-toxic chemicals and moisturizing agents that create a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the superficial skin layers causing the brown coloring of the tissues. The cellular structures remain unaffected, and thus skin health is preserved. Spray suntan wears off in less than ten days. Lotions and creams do contain the same chemicals as spray suntan but they are more difficult to apply evenly.
And streaks and stains will become major inconveniences under the circumstances. Spray suntan works as the basic element for the use of tanning machines and other modern devices. In fact, at the moment, dermatologists heartily recommend spray suntan over tanning beds. The tan color can be kept only by regularly visiting the salon and spraying a new tan layer. Besides the regular spray suntan, you could also use a post treatment moisturizer, meant to prolong the quality of the tan and the skin comfort.
There are several categories of solutions used for spray suntan booths, but the majority of salons rely either on bronzers or on DHA. With bronzers the skin glow will be immediate and you will have to wipe the palms, the soles of the feet and the nails immediately to prevent coloring. DHA solutions need a few hours to act, but the tan you get afterwards is really great. We should conclude by saying that people with dry skin, should be cautious in using spray suntan. However, the best person to clarify all your questions and problems is a dermatologist, and he/she will know what to advise.
