Airbrush Spray Tan
The airbrush spray tan relies on a system that includes a portable unit with all the adjacent equipment necessary for the tanning procedure: exfoliants, moisturizers, air brush tanning solution, air brush compressors and tan extenders. Each of these elements have a special role in the treatment applied to the skin, and the ultimate result is a beautiful natural-looking tan that will last for more than ten days. Comparable with tanning booth solutions, the airbrush spray tan uses the same type of tanning agents but different spraying devices. A compressor is operated by a technician who will spread a fine mist on the body.
The eyes, the lips and the nose should be protected during the airbrush spray tanning, even if the process does not take more than one minute to complete. The tanning effects will appear within a few hours after the application, but you should not shower during this interval in order to keep the active agents on the skin surface. Body exfoliation will improve the quality of the tan if you perform it before applying the tanner. Therefore, make sure to remove the dead skin cells that can spoil the tanned look by creating streaks and stains.
Fake suntan does not act as a protection against the ultraviolets, and even if the airbrush spray tan solution contains a complex cocktail of substances, it has no protective function whatsoever. A sunscreen remains a necessity for outdoors, in order to protect yourself against the harmful impact of the sun rays. This is the safe way to take care of your skin, because natural skin protection comes with melanin secretion which is absent in the artificial tan. Sunburn protection is only achieved through sunscreen application under such circumstances. Skin health therefore equals a good look and youth at the same time.
Airbrush spray tan is a lot safer to use as compared to sun exposure. Studies have indicated no toxicity at all in the tanning agents, however, caution is recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers. The effects of the tanning agent, DHA, are not fully known on unborn babies, hence, it would be best to stay away from any form of sunless tanning during pregnancy. Otherwise, airbrush spray tan brings the advantage of quick skin browning without the risks of sunburn. Moreover, there will be no wrinkles or skin dryness: just a nice looking skin!
