People have become more aware of the harmful damage that can be caused from a tanning bed or laying in the sun. As a result, Sunless Tanning has become a popular alternative. This method uses chemicals applied to your skin to produce a natural looking tan. There is no risk of skin cancer from using this method.
Having a tan has many benefits. It can make you appear thinner, younger, and hide unsightly veins. Many people agree that having a tan gives off a more healthy appearance. You always feel better with a soft glow, too.
In an effort to protect their skin, people are applying sunscreen. As more knowledge is gained about the sun and it's harmful rays, people are becoming scared to spend too much time in it. We understand now that we need to limit the amount of time we spend in the sun without protection.
But with UV-free tanning, you don't have to worry about too much sun exposure. Spray tanning uses a chemical called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to cause a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the dead layer on the skins surface. It then causes the skin to darken in color. The color will gradually fade over the next 3-10 days, sometimes longer.
DHA will not permanently change the color of your skin because it is not a dye. It is completely safe to use. You never have to worry about this method harming your skin or causing premature wrinkles. It completely washes off your skin after a week or two.
You can purchase products from the store containing DHA if you wish to achieve a tan at home. These lotions can be difficult to apply evenly and may not come out looking natural. You can also go to a salon, step into a spray tanning booth and have your tan sprayed on. The last option is to have someone professionally airbrush your tan on.
Cream application can be messy and difficult to apply evenly. Having someone from a salon airbrush a tan on by hand, is the most expensive option and can be a little awkward. You can also have the tan applied in a spray tan booth. This method is very fast, as it only takes a minute for the machine to spray you and can be cost effective.
You can expect even results using the booth method or the airbrush gun. The airbrush gun does take quite a bit more time, though. Remember, a spray tan provides the look of a tan, but does not offer any additional protection from the sun. You still have to wear sunblock when in the sun's rays.
If you are looking for a natural tan without the damage of laying in the sun or tanning bed, you should try Sunless Tanning. It's always nice to have a healthy glow. This is an inexpensive way to save time and money and still have a deep tan. Using this method, you will not have to worry about premature aging, either.
