subject: Consider A Spray Tan Booth For A Healthy Summer Glow [print this page] Every summer we all want to have a beautiful, golden tan; but recently we have been told that soaking up natural sun is bad for our skin. Harmful UV rays can cause premature aging and worse, skin cancer. A spray tan booth is one way to safely have that healthy summer glow.
There are many sunless tanners available, however, they are difficult to apply, may end up looking streaked and they smell horrible. Spray tanning is an option that allows you to have a beautiful bronze glow without streaks and stripes.
Spray tanning uses a chemical called Dihyroxyacetone (DHA), which causes a chemical reaction to take place on the skin. The chemical reaction caused the skin to produce melanin, giving your skin a tan appearance. Spray tanning is used by many celebrities to maintain their tans throughout the year.
It is not true that spray tans dye the skin, the chemical reaction is what cause the skin to appear tan. Most spray tans have a bronzer in them that will give you immediate results and allow for smoother, overall coverage. With the bronzer, it is easy to see where the body has been sprayed and to make sure there are no missed spots.
The process for a spray tan is relatively simple. The spray tan booth looks like a shower stall inside a dressing room. Once inside the dressing room, clothes are removed, a surgical cap covers hair and fingernails, toenails, feet and hands are covered with a lotion to prevent discoloration. Just be sure to align the cap with your hairline so you will not end up with a striped forehead. Once all this is done, you simply step into the booth and press a button.
The first spray last for about 14 seconds and feels like a cool mist, some people even say it reminds them of running through a sprinkler in the backyard. Once this first spray is over, you will have a chance to catch your breath before the second spray begins. The second spray last 11 seconds and then you are done.
You can expect a spray tan to last about a week, in which it will then fade naturally. A spray tan booth offers a healthy way to have a beautiful summer tan without the dangers of the sun.
