In tanning and spray tan, there are different methods to get nice golden brown skin using tanning lotion as well if needed. One of them is the sunless spray tan… Why?
The most effective sunless spray tan relies on a substance known as dihydroxyacetone or DHA that causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the skin, triggering the brown color of the dead skin layer at the skin surface. The coloring process achieved with a sunless spray tan involves neither exposure to the ultraviolet rays nor pigmentation. The main impact on the skin is the color change that lasts from three to ten days. Normally the tan fades in about a week, but a longer lasting effect is achieved when the sunless spray tan contains erythrulose, besides DHA. 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 use of a sunless spray tan is contact dermatitis directly related to the poor tolerance of erythrulose or DHA. Experts advise and encourage users to test any cosmetic treatment on a small skin portion before applying it on the entire body. The absorption of the active elements could last for a few hours, and you should not use the cream, gel or spray unless twenty-four hours have lapsed from the skin test.

If no problem appears after 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. A better tan is normally achieved when you choose the professional application because the equipment used in salons allows for an even, uniform body coverage. Spray tan booths represent 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, this tanning technique is superior to the self-application of creams and lotions. 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, a full body preparation should be made: with showering, exfoliation and moisturizing, so that all the conditions are met for getting a nice, even tan, that covers most of the imperfections.

In our culture, a tan is considered desirable. Exposed to images of bronzed and accessorized starlets, we associate a tan with glamour. The suggestion of leisure and exotic destinations, and effortless beauty, is what we want. Wanting to look attractive we seek to emulate that almost perfect skin complexion and tone. Fortunately, the relatively low cost of tanning parlous and beauty treatments make it more accessible to those of us on more mortal budgets.

There are a lot of benefits to being tanned. Tans make us look slimmer, and are very flattering. They are a top accessory, and let us to wear a greater range of colors, better. We appear healthier, and more relaxed, like we just came back from a holiday.

Its’ one thing to want a tan, another to get one. Just sunbathing gets tedious very quickly, and is a bit unreliable. You can’t control how strong the sun is, hence we’re more apt to get burned than tanned, unless we have a good base tan to start with. And it can be difficult to find the time to lie in the sun. Compared to a session in a tanning bed, it can take hours and a lot of peeling to get a decent tan.

Of course, there’s always the option of a tanning salon. But that has its’ disadvantages as well. For one, you’ve got the traveling time, then you have to fit the appointment into your schedule. And there’s the fact that it wasn’t just your bare and sweaty body lying on that tanning bed. Whilst the antibacterial cleaners are good, there’s nothing like having your own tanning bed for peace of mind.

Tanning in the Privacy of your Home

Residential tanning beds are probably the epitome of convenience when it comes to tanning. And if you use tanning salons, you can probably save money over the life of the bed. Provided you’re not overzealous, you can maintain a great color too. And that’s without having to spend hours lying on the beach. Most tanning beds have facial tanners that you can use to lightly tan your face without exposing it too much. And if you add up how much you would spend at the tanning salon over the average life span of a residential tanning bed, its easy to see how it would pay for itself.
