Things To Remember When Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

Things To Remember When Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

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.

The better tanning sprays contain DHA, which causes a chemical reaction on the skin instead of staining or affect the skins pigmentation. DHA reacts with the top layer of skin, which makes it darker like a sun tan or a visit to a solarium.

Prior to entering the booth, there are few steps that should be taken to ensure that the tan is even and natural looking. The salon will usually provide facilities and products to help you do this.



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.

During the spraying process you will naturally not try not to inhale the chemical, but it is perfectly harmless if ingested. DHA can be ingested in moderate amounts without any problems. In fact DHA is less toxic than aspirin, caffeine and even table salt. DHA has been used as a dietary supplement in the past and it is totally non carcinogenic.

It is also not necessary to keep the hair covered during tanning, as DHA does not have an affect on the hair's follicles. However, some people prefer to keep a shower cap on in case the hair is damaged in some way. After tanning it is possible to use a towel to dry off, any tanning solution that is removed is just excess and will not leave streaks or patches on the skin. The clothes can be put on immediately after drying off and they will not stain. The tan usually appears by the next morning, although for some people it may take an extra day. The tan will last for about five day, s so you can top up your tan at the sun tan spray booth every five to six days for best results.
