Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

By Haywood Hunter


In the 1960s health authorities made the public aware that exposure to the skin could result in skin cancer. Because of this announcement spray on tanning became immensely popular. The majority of beauty salons have a sun tan spray booth you can use in order to get a natural and even looking all over the body tan.



All of the most effective tanning sprays contain the ingredient DHA. DHA works by creating a chemical reaction with the top layer of skin on the body, rather than affecting the pigments or staining the skin. DHA darkens the skin similarly to the sun and looks very natural.

Before entering the booth there are certain things that should be done in order to get the best results. The beauty salon should have facilities in place and give you advice and products that will help you get the most even and natural looking tan possible.



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.

Once your body is fully exfoliated the skin should be rehydrated. A moisturizing solution should be available at the beauty salon, which is the best way to rehydrate your skin. Moisturizing also helps the tan sit better and look more natural and even. It is also good for the skin. It is advisable to moisturize on a regular basis in between each tanning session.

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 it is better not to inhale the solution, although it is harmless to ingest. DHA can be ingested in reasonable amounts and is actually less toxic than table salt! It has also been used in dietary supplements and is non-carcinogenic.

There is no need to cover the hair when you are inside the sun tan spray booth as hair follicles are not affected by DHA. However, many people prefer to wear a shower cap anyway. Once the spraying is complete you only need to dry of with a towel. Any tanning solution that comes off is only the excess and you will not experience streaks or an uneven tan as a result. It can take one to two days for the tan to fully appear and will last approximately five days. You .can return to the beauty clinic after five days to top up your tan
