Airbrush Spray Tans Allow You To Enjoy A Darker Skin Color That Looks Natural

By Haywood Hunter


Since the 60s, airbrush spray tans had become popular as health authorities warned people against the dangers of too much UV ray exposure. Airbrush spray tans are preferred by many, especially if performed at salons, as they can produce a golden brown complexion that looks natural. For about a week after a session, a stunning skin color may be enjoyed.

Airbrush spray tans are normally carried out by trained individuals using a handheld device. The solution used relies on an ingredient called DHA. Extracted from plant sources, DHA found in airbrush spray tans is capable of darkening the color of skin without requiring exposure to UV light just to cause the amount of melanin, a dark type of pigment, to increase.

Regardless where airbrush spray tans are done or the brand of the solution used, DHA remains to be a very important component. When it comes into contact with oxygen and the amino acids in dead skin cells, a chemical reaction takes place. The skin's topmost layer turns darker, just like when you slice an apple and allow the oxygen in the air to cause it to brown.

The color airbrush spray tans provide won't come off when you step foot in the shower. However, it's only for about a week that the lovely complexion may be enjoyed. It's due to the fact that the topmost layer of skin is constantly replaced. For the color to stay around longer, the skin has to be properly hydrated with the help of regular application of a moisturizing lotion. These days, you may also get your hands on topically applied color extenders that may be used with airbrush spray tans.

Especially when airbrush spray tans are done by experts, the resulting skin color change may look so real. It's true that a kit may be purchased for home use. But to achieve an outcome which you can proudly show off, practicing with the application is necessary. Also, the help of a relative or friend is needed for body areas that you cannot reach on your own.

Aside from DHA, airbrush spray tans normally contain bronzers. These ingredients help you see immediate skin color change because of the stain they leave behind which looks like a tan. Additionally, they make it easier to attain a smooth and even application. After a session, try not to engage in physical activities that can cause you to sweat so that the bronzers won't be removed. Stick with clothes that fit loosely and with dark-colored fabrics to prevent evident staining.

Bronzers are essential ingredients because DHA takes a few hours to produce skin darkening. It's only after about 24 hours that you may obtain the darkest possible complexion that airbrush spray tans can give. Within such time period, keep the skin from coming into contact with soap and chlorinated water as they can destroy DHA before it completely works.

It's possible to have custom airbrush spray tans. This allows you to decide on how dark or light you want the resulting color to be. The entire body may undergo it or certain areas only that cannot be hidden with clothes, like the face, arms and legs.
