Chief Details Concerning What Mist Spray Tan Does

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning of the skin has become exceedingly popular especially in the 20th century. The sight of an evenly bronzed body is a sight to behold. Even the die-hard critics of our time do concede that indeed one looks great with a tan. However, with all the hullabaloo of getting skin cancer, it is exceedingly difficult to maintain a tan by staying outdoors. Most individuals have therefore turned to the use of a mist spray tan to maintain this bronzed look.

Some people frown on very pale skinned people terming them as unhealthy looking and too white. But the truth is that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and for every one person who thinks that too pale is unsightly, there is another who is totally beholden by these looks. The sad thing is that people subjected to such remarks of ugliness search for answers in the form of a fake tan, and hence the widespread use of a mist spray tan.

Although mist spray tan can be used in the comfort and privacy of ones home, professional results are best achieved in a salon by experienced technicians. They ensure that the mist spray tan is evenly applied to avoid splotches or patches. Even the hard to reach areas such as the back do get a good work-over. Bikini areas are also sprayed to avoid leaving behind a pale bikini line.

The use of a mist spray tan has gained such massive popularity since it was introduced in the eighties. This has led to the mushrooming of hundreds of salons in Britain and the United States of America to cater for the growing numbers of clientele seeking quick coloring using mist spray tan products. It has easily rise to become a multi-million dollar industry.

The main ingredient used in the mist spray tan is called dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. It is a chemical that physically dyes the skin brown when dead skin cells react with it. This consequently gives one a beautiful brown skin which looks similar to a natural tan. The product has been meticulously tested to ensure that the color output looks completely real.

Washing will not remove the mist spray tan as long as it is delayed by about four hours. The new look lasts for about 5 days because but once the top skin sheds, the color also fades and one will hence need a new application. Exfoliating the skin before applying the mist spray tan and then keeping well moisturized afterwards can help it stay even longer, say up to 10 days.

The effect of the mist spray tan is temporary and may last for up to about five days. The reason is that only the top layer of skin is dyed and this usually sheds off naturally to allow for emergence of new skin. When it sheds, one will need another tanning session to maintain the new color. Dry skin also sheds much faster and therefore to slow the process of shedding, frequent use of a moisturizer is indicated.

The utilization of mist spray tan is still by far a much better choice for bronzing the skin. It is completely safe to apply mist spray tan on the skin. More substantive research however on the health implications it may have on people upon inhalation is needed.
