Get The Ideal Outcomes With Proper Spray Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Spray tanning has grown exponentially over the last few years as fewer and fewer people are sitting under the UV rays outside. This concept was introduced to the public in the 1960s. Now ads for spray tan are everywhere from drug stores, departments stores and day spas. Any professional salon has the ability to offer superior formulas as well as the latest in the application process which includes spray booths and airbrush systems.

Many collages and/or universities now offer courses that introduce you to this new system. It is a very good way for you to get to know all the ins and outs if you are thinking of opening your own spa or just want to get into the industry. In the end you will be well trained and have a certificate stating your achievement. Many even offer this form of education on-site as well as on-line; decide which would suit you better.

A sun tanning bed is a machine that emits ultraviolet radiation that will then produce a cosmetic tan. The normal bed will contain about seven fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends. The spa beds can contain about 24 to 60 lamps, each with 100 to 200 watts. The home and smaller versions have about 12 to 28 lamps at 100 watts. A tanning booth is similar to a tanning bed, but with this one the person will be standing and the power output is higher.

The effect of the UV radiation can cause skin cancer, cataracts, premature skin aging as well as causing your immune system to become suppressed. This is why the World Health Organization no longer recommends this device. Many of these mainly emit UVA rays and this has been found to increase the risk of melanoma, which is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. Those that have used this and not worn goggles have reported having arc eye, or snow blindness.

Next shave or wax and it would be a good idea to do this the day before if you have a very sensitive skin type. Always dry the area very well and if the bathroom is humid wait until it has cleared out. Another idea would be to proceed with the application in the bedroom. If it is applied while humid it could leave sweat marks all over your legs.

The modern tanning beds have evolved over the years but the low pressure one has still not evolved. The ballast, which is a device that limits the current in the electric circuit, is still in use but there are now other choices which include electronic and high frequency. Fluorescent lamps that create a spectrum of the UVA rays have had good results over the years to make them appear more sun-like.

Sun bathing also increases the risk of cancer as well as making you look older before your time. Many people do not have the time to be able to sit for a few hours in the sun to get that bronzed look. There are many different kinds on sunscreen that one can use, so that you do not burn but do get a light tan. Too long in the sun and you can develop very nasty blisters and the more times this happens the greater the risk of getting skin cancer later on in life.

The safest and healthiest choice of today is to get a spraying done. It is quick and can be done in the privacy of your own home. Just about every spa has the means to apply this for you and all personnel are trained to apply it.
