What
is airbrush tanning?
Body air brushing using an FDA approved ingredient, DHA,(dihydroxyacetone).
It is the same ingredient in all the safe self tanning products.
Airbrush
tanning simply has:
A delivery system that provides an even application thereby
avoiding streaking and blotching. We recommend only one session
per week and in some cases we will provide a maximum of two
applications in a week for certain skin types.
How Does This Work?
Very simply, the DHA (dihydroxyacetone), reacts with the amino
acids (proteins) in the outermost layer of your skin. Note:
Those cells are already “dead skin”. It takes
about three to four hours for the reaction to complete and
look tan.
Is
This Safe?
The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone and has been approved
by the FDA for cosmetic applications. The balance of the spray
is composed of inert carrying agents. We have not, to date,
had any such reaction to our product, but we do know that
some self tanning lotions using DHA have had customers experience
a rash that lasts for a couple of hours and then disappears.
How long does the airbrush tanning
last?
We have found that the length of tan is determined by the
following factors:
The skin type - A persons skin type will
react to airbrush tanning very much like it does to the natural
sun.
The amount of “wear” - Only the outermost
layer of skin is “tanned”. As the skin layer is
lost, so is the tan. Wear comes from rubbing, soaking in water
or long showers, tight clothing, “scratchy” clothing
or bleach. You wouldn’t use an SOS pad on the finish
of your new car, so don’t be abrasive to your skin and
you will keep your tan longer. Finally, dry skin will shorten
the life of your tan! So—Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!!!
It depends on you. Four to Ten days.
How
long should I allow for the treatment?
The application takes about 7—10 minutes and a couple
minutes to dry enough to get dressed. Always, allow 15 minutes
whenever you come in for an appointment.
How
often should I tan? Is every day all right?
We suggest once a week, but that depends on your personal
tan “wear”. We will not schedule tanning applications
more than twice a week. Excessive applications may result
in some discoloration.
What
should I wear to be sprayed and will it damage my clothes?
You can wear a swim suit just as you would at the beach and
our spray will wash out just fine with out damage to your
suit or you may wish to avoid tan lines completely, it’s
your choice.
I
like tanning in the sun and using tanning beds. Why should
I change?
We know how wonderfully warm the sun feels and how relaxing
tanning beds are. We used them too!!! Some of the most recent
reports show how really dangerous rays from the sun are to
our skin. Most recently, the bulbs from tanning beds have
been shown to be even more damaging to skin than the sun.
