Spray Suntan

If in the past dark or brown skin was considered a sign of commonness and hard work in the fields, and only white skin could speak of nobility, presently, everybody feels great wearing a nice tan. Tanning is trendy, but there is no safety in sun exposure. Even so, the cosmetic industry has come up with solutions to make people with their fashionable statement: tanning booths, spray suntan, tanning pills, tanning beds and tanning lotions. Some of these skin browning methods do require the use of special equipment particularly for the application of spray suntan. There are special methods of applications and here are some details on how they work.

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 a combination of moisturizing agents and non-toxic bronzers that react with the amino acids in the skin. The cellular structures remain unaffected, and thus skin health is preserved. The effect of spray suntan is short, lasting up to ten days only. Although the results are very similar between spray suntan and creams or lotions, the latter are more difficult to apply in such a way so as to achieve an even look.

And because of the faulty coverage you may experience streaks or stains, as well as an unpleasant skin color. 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 layer of tan. 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 coloring is immediate and the skin gets the tanned glow as soon as the bronzer dries. DHA solutions need a few hours to act, but the effects are longer lasting and more natural in look. A fair warning here is caution with skin dryness: dry skin could get drier if exposed to the action of a spray suntan. However, the best person to clarify all your questions and problems is a dermatologist, and he/she will know what to advise.
