Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

By Haywood Hunter


In the 1960s health authorities announced that sun exposure could lead to skin cancer and other health problems. Therefore, fake tanning has become increasingly popular. A spray on tan at a sun tan spray booth will be available at your local beauty salon.



Tanning sprays contain the active ingredient DHA. DHA does not stain or affect skin pigments; it created a chemical reaction with the top lay of the skin, which are dead skin cells. This chemical reaction darkens the color of the skin in the same way as the sun does. Good spray tan solutions have other ingredients that create a natural color, as some spray can make the skin too orange in color.

Before entering the booth there are certain things that should be done in order to get the best results. The beauty salon should have facilities in place and give you advice and products that will help you get the most even and natural looking tan possible.



Before tanning it is extremely important that the skin on your body is fully exfoliated. This is because the skin will have areas that contain flaking dead skin cells that are due to fall off. Because DHA causes a chemical reaction with dead skin cells the tan will look uneven once these cells fall off. You can exfoliate in the shower and concentrate on areas such as the back of the legs, ankles, elbows, feet and other area where dead skin builds up.

After exfoliating the skin will need dehydrating. A moisturizing lotion can be applied all over the body. This helps the tan look smooth, even and natural. It is also good to moisturize regularly in between tans to keep skin healthy and the tan looking natural.

The majority of people with be naked in the booth in order to get an all over tan. Some wear underwear but it is likely to become stained from the tanning solution. If the solution gets into the eyes, do not worry. Tanning solutions are tested so they are not an irritant to the eyes or any other part of the body.

While the tanning is taking place, be careful not to inhale the solution, even though it is not harmful if ingested. DHA is harmless is ingested in moderate qualities, and it has also been used as an dietary supplement and it is non-carcinogenic. DHA is in fact less toxic that caffeine, aspirin and salt.

There is no need to cover the hair when you are inside the sun tan spray booth as hair follicles are not affected by DHA. However, many people prefer to wear a shower cap anyway. Once the spraying is complete you only need to dry of with a towel. Any tanning solution that comes off is only the excess and you will not experience streaks or an uneven tan as a result. It can take one to two days for the tan to fully appear and will last approximately five days. You .can return to the beauty clinic after five days to top up your tan
