Fake tans in 10 minutes
Fake tans come in 2 forms, the kind you spray and the kind you apply. Of the spray types, there are 2 types, and these are colored and non colored.The colored are instant tans that are immediate color and the later are colorless , that darken as the day goes by. With the colored , it tends to dull very quickly as it washes off and a lot of the initial color is in the paint! It is also very easy to apply as the tech guys can see exactly where the color has landed and where it has missed.
The other type is clear and requires very experience techies to apply , because it is not possible to see , overlap,missed parts, or points of overapplication. But this type lasts much longer as it darkens with more reative compounds, and applied properly gives a more realistic and longer lasting product.
Trendy and popular, the tanned look makes people feel fashionable and increases their self-confidence. We now rely on alternative means of tanning rather than on sun bathing, because of the skin cancer risk posed by the ultra-violets. Artificial tanning using tanning beds or sunless tanning by artificial means such as body lotions, creams, gels or self tanning spray are widely available. Although the most advanced application is the use of a tanning machine or booth, going to a salon for a re-freshening of the tan is not an affordable option for everybody. The do-it-yourself solutions thus become the most accessible and practical.
DHA is the main ingredient of a self tanning spray, and it can be found in home treatments as well as in beauty parlor treatments. DHA triggers a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the skin and makes the top skin layer brown. The effect of a self tanning spray ranges between six and eight days but harsh soap and frequent bathing will wear the tan off sooner. Self tanning has a lot of challenges, and although you save more money, you’ll need more time to apply the tan.
It is more difficult to achieve an even tan when using a self tanning spray. The coloring solution will be spread in a thin film but you should be careful not to overlap too much. Overlapping leads to darker tan shades on certain body areas. Then, a disadvantage of the self tanning spray is that you may need another person’s help for the process: the back for instance is very difficult to spray unless there is someone to assist you. The same problem appears for the back of the legs, the nape and the bottom. Ask a friend to apply the tanner for you: this is the best way to get a good coverage.
The lips, the eyes and the years should be well protected. Furthermore, do not neglect palm and nail staining because the use of a self tanning spray is often accompanied by such inconveniences. You could eliminate this problem by using wet wipes whenever necessary without allowing the tanning agent to dry on the palms or nails. Finally, do not spray too much substance because the result may be an unnatural orange glow or an uneven tan. We could only conclude that despite the good price and the wide usage range, the self tanning spray remains inferior to tanning machines.
