UV free spray tanning is fast becoming one of the popular tanning experiences and many tanning salons are providing their customers with this amazing process. UV tan solutions last between four to five days and are safe to wear, having been approved by the FDA. The major active ingredient in UV tan solutions is known as DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a bronzer, as well as the organic aloe vera liquid which is so prevalent in many of today’s leading moisturizers. The UV tanning spray mists the body and a beautiful tan is just seconds away. Many top quality tan salons feature different formulations, such as:
• Natural Glow: A natural glow with a hint of color (recommended for light to light/medium skin).
• Light: 1-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone (recommended for light/medium to medium skin).
• Medium: 2-4 shades darker than your natural skin tone (recommended to medium to medium/dark skin).
• Dark: 3-5 shades darker than your natural skin tone (recommended for medium/dark skin to dark skin).
A Typical Tanning Experience
Tanning salons make the UV tan experience an easy, relaxing process, as follows:
1. The tanner undresses and applies a moisturizing cream on the body, as usually directed by an automated voice guided system or by the employee beforehand.
2. A tanning booth is designed with a touch-free, spray on tanning process which evenly distributes the tanning solution via a fine mist.
3. The tanning booth is patented for each tanning session, which uses the body’s natural magnetic properties to attract the specialized solution to the epidermis.
Preventative Tips for Tanning
Tanners are required to wear protective gear which covers the eyes, lips, or mucous membrane, so inhalation is prevented because the UV tan solutions can be harmful to organs in the body. However, there are Open Air Design tanning booths which allow tanners to breathe easier without clouds of overspray. A tan application normally takes approximately 30 minutes for a full body airbrush application from start to finish, including a drying time. Drying time is approximately 5-10 minutes after application to ensure no streaking will occur. Top quality tanning salons provide UV tan solutions for beautiful tans, but tanners should remember sunless solutions and bronzers don’t necessarily provide protection from the sun’s UV rays. Only sunless tanners which contain sunscreen ingredients and are labeled with sun protection factor (“SPF”) numbers provide protection.
