Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

By Haywood Hunter


Ever since the 1960s when health authorities announced that exposure to the sun can be harmful and cause skin cancer, spray on tanning solutions have become more and more popular. Spay on tan is available at beauty salons, and the majority of them use a sun tan spray booth to apply the fake tan solution.



The better tanning sprays contain DHA, which causes a chemical reaction on the skin instead of staining or affect the skins pigmentation. DHA reacts with the top layer of skin, which makes it darker like a sun tan or a visit to a solarium.

Before going into the spray tanning booth there are number of steps that are worth taking in order to get the best results, and a more even and natural looking tan. The salon should be able to help you with these steps



Before tanning it is extremely important that the skin on your body is fully exfoliated. This is because the skin will have areas that contain flaking dead skin cells that are due to fall off. Because DHA causes a chemical reaction with dead skin cells the tan will look uneven once these cells fall off. You can exfoliate in the shower and concentrate on areas such as the back of the legs, ankles, elbows, feet and other area where dead skin builds up.

After you are exfoliated it is very important to rehydrate the skin. This can be done by using a daily moisturizing lotion. This also helps the tan look very natural and smooth. Moisturizing the skin in between tanning is also a good way to keep the skin healthy.

Most people prefer to be naked in the spray tan booth so that the entire body is spray tanned. Some may wear underwear but the spray may stain it. The solution is ok if it enters the eyes as sprays have been tested and are not an irritant. It is also not an irritant to any other parts of the body.

While the tanning is taking place, be careful not to inhale the solution, even though it is not harmful if ingested. DHA is harmless is ingested in moderate qualities, and it has also been used as an dietary supplement and it is non-carcinogenic. DHA is in fact less toxic that caffeine, aspirin and salt.

The hair does not need to be covered either, as DHA does not affect hair follicles, although some people prefer to wear a shower cap just in case. After the tan is complete it is just a simple case of towel drying, this will not cause streaks on the tan and any solution on the towel is just excess. After toweling dry you can put on your clothes; they will not be affected by the solution. Within a couple of days you can enjoy a natural looking and even tan all over your body. A tan will last for several days, so it is recommended to return after five days to top up the tan at the sun tan spray booth.
