All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Its Benefits

By Haywood Hunter


Staying under the sun enables you to attain a glowing tan. However, it's also possible to end up with premature aging signs and skin cancer courtesy of the sun's harmful UV rays. Fortunately, there are numerous options available these days when you want to get tanned, and a sunless tanning booth is a popular choice of many.

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 great thing about this method is atomizers are used to spray the chemical all over your body. Through fine mists, better coverage is enjoyed that's free of streaks. This results in a tanned skin that looks natural and streak-free. Further, you don't have to worry about having your clothes stained afterwards.

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.

A change in the skin color may not be noticed until after about an hour has passed. It's after 24 hours that you will enjoy the deepest brown color possible. This can last anywhere from 5 to 10 days. Repeatedly undergoing the procedure allows your skin to get more used to the chemical, causing it to sustain the brown color longer.

There are also many products that contain DHA which may be applied at home, such as those in the form of lotions, creams and sprays. However, it's somewhat difficult to get an even tan from using these products. Going to a sunless tanning booth allows you to enjoy a sun-kissed glow that you can show off.
