Things To Remember When Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

By Haywood Hunter


Ever since the 1960s when health authorities announced that exposure to the sun can be harmful and cause skin cancer, spray on tanning solutions have become more and more popular. Spay on tan is available at beauty salons, and the majority of them use a sun tan spray booth to apply the fake tan solution.



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.

Prior to entering the booth, there are few steps that should be taken to ensure that the tan is even and natural looking. The salon will usually provide facilities and products to help you do this.



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 you are exfoliated it is very important to rehydrate the skin. This can be done by using a daily moisturizing lotion. This also helps the tan look very natural and smooth. Moisturizing the skin in between tanning is also a good way to keep the skin healthy.

Most people prefer to be naked in the spray tan booth so that the entire body is spray tanned. Some may wear underwear but the spray may stain it. The solution is ok if it enters the eyes as sprays have been tested and are not an irritant. It is also not an irritant to any other parts of the body.

During the spraying process you will naturally not try not to inhale the chemical, but it is perfectly harmless if ingested. DHA can be ingested in moderate amounts without any problems. In fact DHA is less toxic than aspirin, caffeine and even table salt. DHA has been used as a dietary supplement in the past and it is totally non carcinogenic.

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.
