All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Its Advantages

By Veronica Cappelletti


Sunbathing allows you to enjoy a sun-kissed radiant skin. But many are staying away from doing it because they're afraid of developing skin cancer and premature aging signs caused by the sun's UV rays. Good thing that there are numerous options to get a tan nowadays, and a popular one is using a sunless tanning booth.

It's a small enclosure wherein the individual who likes to get a tan is sprayed with a chemical called dihydroxyacetone or DHA. This is an FDA-approved substance so you know it's safe for use on humans. When exposed to DHA, your skin's topmost layer, usually dead cells, is turned into brown.

The chemical is sprayed with the use of atomizers, delivering a fine mist. Because of this, better coverage can be enjoyed. Such allows you to have a tan that's free of streak so it's natural looking. Also, the chemical won't leave stains on your hair or clothing.

Once inside the stall, you have to press a button after you hold your breath and close your eyes. The atomizers will give off DHA in the form of fine mists. You have to allow the chemical to stay on your skin for a few seconds before you towel off the excess and get dressed.

You will notice darkening of the skin after about an hour. However, the deepest color you can possibly get will show up only after a full day has passed. This new color you have can last for 5 to 10 days. Repeatedly undergoing the procedure enables the skin to get used to DHA, so you can end up with a tan much longer.

There are at-home products which may be purchased that also take advantage of DHA. Usually, they come in the form of creams, lotions, gels and sprays. However, getting an even tan using them can be quite tricky. Going to a salon offering a sunless tanning booth is still your best bet to get a radiant tanned skin you can show off.
