Things To Remember When 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.



All of the most effective tanning sprays contain the ingredient DHA. DHA works by creating a chemical reaction with the top layer of skin on the body, rather than affecting the pigments or staining the skin. DHA darkens the skin similarly to the sun and looks very natural.

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



Firstly it is very important that the skin is exfoliated prior to the application of the tanning solution. The skin will have areas containing dead skin cells, which will eventually fall off. Because DHA reacts to dead skin, when the flaking dead cells fall off you will see patches of skins that isn't tanned. This results in a patchy uneven tan. When exfoliating in the shower, it is important to try and concentrate on areas where dead skin builds up, such as behind the knees, armpit, elbows and ankles.

Once your body is fully exfoliated the skin should be rehydrated. A moisturizing solution should be available at the beauty salon, which is the best way to rehydrate your skin. Moisturizing also helps the tan sit better and look more natural and even. It is also good for the skin. It is advisable to moisturize on a regular basis in between each tanning session.

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.

During the spraying process it is better not to inhale the solution, although it is harmless to ingest. DHA can be ingested in reasonable amounts and is actually less toxic than table salt! It has also been used in dietary supplements and is non-carcinogenic.

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.
