Things To Remember When Using A Sun Tan Spray Booth

By Haywood Hunter


In the 1960s health authorities announced that sun exposure could lead to skin cancer and other health problems. Therefore, fake tanning has become increasingly popular. A spray on tan at a sun tan spray booth will be available at your local beauty salon.



The better tanning sprays contain DHA, which causes a chemical reaction on the skin instead of staining or affect the skins pigmentation. DHA reacts with the top layer of skin, which makes it darker like a sun tan or a visit to a solarium.

Before going into the spray tanning booth there are number of steps that are worth taking in order to get the best results, and a more even and natural looking tan. The salon should be able to help you with these steps



Fist of all exfoliate your skin in the shower. This is because your skin will contain flaking dead skin cells that are due to come off. The DHA will react to these flaking cells, so when they do come off you will have an uneven tan because the skin underneath will not have reacted with the DHA. It is important to concentrate on exfoliating difficult areas, such as elbows, knees and ankles.

After you are exfoliated it is very important to rehydrate the skin. This can be done by using a daily moisturizing lotion. This also helps the tan look very natural and smooth. Moisturizing the skin in between tanning is also a good way to keep the skin healthy.

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 you will naturally not try not to inhale the chemical, but it is perfectly harmless if ingested. DHA can be ingested in moderate amounts without any problems. In fact DHA is less toxic than aspirin, caffeine and even table salt. DHA has been used as a dietary supplement in the past and it is totally non carcinogenic.

The hair does not need to be covered either, as DHA does not affect hair follicles, although some people prefer to wear a shower cap just in case. After the tan is complete it is just a simple case of towel drying, this will not cause streaks on the tan and any solution on the towel is just excess. After toweling dry you can put on your clothes; they will not be affected by the solution. Within a couple of days you can enjoy a natural looking and even tan all over your body. A tan will last for several days, so it is recommended to return after five days to top up the tan at the sun tan spray booth.
