When we talk about tanning, the words that immediately come to mind are ‘beautifully bronzed’, ‘golden and shining’ and so on. If you’re looking to get a beautiful deep skin color, a healthy tan is what you need.
Pale skin is often a point of complaint for several people. It is in fact considered a fashion flaw by many. Whether it’s a special occasion where you need to wear a revealing outfit or a simple dance party where you don’t want to show off white-washed skin. You want to hit that beach in your newly purchased bathing suit with just the perfect, uniform skin color.
A very popular technique to get a brilliant tan in a quick way is to get sprayed on with the golden glow.
Causes of tanning
We know that an exposed apple turns brown as a result of some natural chemical reactions. DHA or dihydroxyacetone is a naturally existing chemical which has the same effect on your skin. DHA actually forms the base of all sprays used for sunless tanning.
In fact, all individuals are warned by the Skin Cancer Foundation against using of any product that claims to offer sunless tanning and has DHA listed as an active component or ingredient.
An enzymatic reaction occurs between DHA and the amino acids present in the epidermis or the outer skin layer, causing the dead skin cells to temporarilyturn dark.
Professional tanning services
If you’re looking for professional spray tanning services, you might not have to hunt for them too much. Both independent tanning businesses as well as brand salon chains are present in majority of the cities all over the world. The spray-tanning machinery is sourced by them from a few primary manufacturers.
The most well-known brands for spray tanning include Mystic Tan and VersaSpa. Different individuals have their own favorite brand, but both of them advertize about the ventilation and roominess of different styles of their equipment.
Air-brush tanning is also offered by certain businesses. A high-force gun is used by an attendant, similar to that which is used to spray-paint vehicles and this offers the tanning to your skin. The spray can be used in a way to provide uniform tanning to customers. Specific muscles such as the ‘abdominal area’ can also be sprayed upon.
Growing popularity of spray tanning
The spray tanning technique is fast gaining popularity as an inexpensive way of getting a beautiful deep skin color. Depending on where you are located, single sessions of spray tanning can cost you somewhere between 25 to 45 dollars. Also if you purchase a package, every session will cost even lesser.
Air-brushing is likely to be a bit more expensive. It is smarter to opt for a package which is typically inclusive of other useful services like moisturizing and the likes for a greater price.
Professional tanning solutions have the obvious advantage of covering you up uniformly, which may not be possible at home.
