Sunless tanning
A nice tan is something only the modern man can appreciate since in the past brown skin used to the a symbol of the lower classes. Tanning is trendy, but sun exposure is no longer safe. Even so, the cosmetic industry has come up with solutions to make people with their fashionable statement: tanning booths, spray suntan, tanning pills, tanning beds and tanning lotions. The application of spray suntan requires the use of special equipment. Let’s see how this artificial tanning works and what the specificity of the method is.
Lotions, pills and creams are considered inferior to spray suntan. First of all, there is no health threat for the skin. Spray suntan products contain some non-toxic chemicals and moisturizing agents that create a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the superficial skin layers causing the brown coloring of the tissues. There is no modification of the skin structures and therefore no health problem. The effect of spray suntan is short, lasting up to ten days only. Although the results are very similar between spray suntan and creams or lotions, the latter are more difficult to apply in such a way so as to achieve an even look.
And because of the faulty coverage you may experience streaks or stains, as well as an unpleasant skin color. Spray suntan works as the basic element for the use of tanning machines and other modern devices. In fact, at the moment, dermatologists heartily recommend spray suntan over tanning beds. The tan color can be kept only by regular visits to the salon and constant spraying a new tan layer. A post treatment moisturizer could also be used to prevent the tan from wearing off.
There are several types of DHA solutions available, some of them are clear and others colored. With bronzers the coloring is immediate and the skin gets the tanned glow as soon as the bronzer dries. DHA solutions need a few hours to act, but the effects are longer lasting and more natural in look. We should conclude by saying that people with dry skin, should be cautious in using spray suntan. However, it is best to talk to a dermatologist in order to clarify your problems and questions related to artificial tanning and its suitability for your skin condition.
