All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Its Advantages

By Veronica Cappelletti


Staying under the sun enables you to attain a glowing tan. However, it's also possible to end up with premature aging signs and skin cancer courtesy of the sun's harmful UV rays. Fortunately, there are numerous options available these days when you want to get tanned, and a sunless tanning booth is a popular choice of many.

It's just a small room where the individual steps in and is sprayed with dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical comes from plant sources so it's safe for use on humans, and proof to that is the FDA's approval. DHA turns the topmost layer of the skin, which is mostly dead cells, into brown.

What's so great about this approach is the chemical is sprayed with the use of atomizers, so fine mists are produced. This provides excellent coverage, minimizing streaks so the individual can enjoy an even and natural-looking tan. What's more, there's no nasty staining on clothing or hair to worry about afterwards.

Once inside the stall, you have to press a button after you hold your breath and close your eyes. The atomizers will give off DHA in the form of fine mists. You have to allow the chemical to stay on your skin for a few seconds before you towel off the excess and get dressed.

It's only about after an hour that a change in skin color is noticeable. The deepest brown color may be noted after 24 hours have passed. The tan may last for about 5 to 10 days. It's possible to enjoy the color longer than that by frequently undergoing the procedure. That's because your skin gets used to DHA much better after some time.

There are also many products that contain DHA which may be applied at home, such as those in the form of lotions, creams and sprays. However, it's somewhat difficult to get an even tan from using these products. Going to a sunless tanning booth allows you to enjoy a sun-kissed glow that you can show off.
