1. What is the air-brushed sunless tanning process?
The air-brushed sunless tanning process uses an ingredient called
dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to react with the skins amino acids. The
reaction is like that of the sun, but is not damaging to the skin. The
process results in a golden tan appearance that can last up to 10 days.
It is a healthy safe way to tan. This new process appeals to both
people who already like tanning beds and those who don't.
2. What kind of results can I expect?
The same
results that get from lying in a tanning bed or exposing yourself to
the sun. Even though there is no skin damage from overexposure when you
use the air-brushed sunless tanning process, with overexposure you
could see a possible orange distortion instead of the bronze we are
trying to achieve. The darker you tan naturally the darker you will
become with the air-brushed sunless tanning process.
3. How long will this last?
This really depends
on several factors. The air-brushed sunless tanning process only
affects the epidermis layer of skin. Since cells are constantly being
naturally discarded is recommended that you exfoliate with some type of
scrub before you have the DHA solution applied. Just like with a UV
generated tan, using a good moisturizer will prolong the life of your
tan. Results can still be seen up to 10 days after application.
4. What are the challenges associated with the air-brushed sunless tanning process?
If you have used a self tanner from the drug store then you know some
of the problems associated with the process: orange color, streaking,
blotches, and tanned palms etc. The air-brushed sunless tanning process
virtually eliminates most problems associated with self tanning. After
being sprayed you need to avoid perspiration and don't shower for at
least 4 hours.
5. What size room do I need?
Six by six seems to
be enough space for most salons. You will need an exhaust fan and a
couple of fans or a blow dryer to dry the client after application.
