Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

By Haywood Hunter


In the 1960s health authorities made the public aware that exposure to the skin could result in skin cancer. Because of this announcement spray on tanning became immensely popular. The majority of beauty salons have a sun tan spray booth you can use in order to get a natural and even looking all over the body tan.



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 exfoliating the skin will need dehydrating. A moisturizing lotion can be applied all over the body. This helps the tan look smooth, even and natural. It is also good to moisturize regularly in between tans to keep skin healthy and the tan looking natural.

The majority of people with be naked in the booth in order to get an all over tan. Some wear underwear but it is likely to become stained from the tanning solution. If the solution gets into the eyes, do not worry. Tanning solutions are tested so they are not an irritant to the eyes or any other part 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.

It is also not necessary to keep the hair covered during tanning, as DHA does not have an affect on the hair's follicles. However, some people prefer to keep a shower cap on in case the hair is damaged in some way. After tanning it is possible to use a towel to dry off, any tanning solution that is removed is just excess and will not leave streaks or patches on the skin. The clothes can be put on immediately after drying off and they will not stain. The tan usually appears by the next morning, although for some people it may take an extra day. The tan will last for about five day, s so you can top up your tan at the sun tan spray booth every five to six days for best results.
