What is Airbrush Tanning?

There are many ways to get a tan without the damaging effects of the sun. What is airbrush tanning and how is it better than other tanning methods?



Getting a golden tan anytime of the year is important for many people; having carefully bronzed skin is seen as attractive and makes you feel better about yourself. However, getting a tan the old fashioned way-through long term sun exposure-is rarely practical; it’s time consuming, it damages your skin and for people who burn easily, it’s useless. This is why many people turn to beauty salons for artificial tanning. There are many ways to get a ‘false’ tan, but one of the best ways is through airbrush tanning.



Airbrush tanning uses a type of chemical called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which gradually stains the dead skin cells a darker color, giving you a darker color. Airbrush tanning uses a spray like tool to cover your whole body faster and though you can do it yourself, it’s more practical to do it a beauty salon so you won’t miss any spots and so you can use the very best products without having to track them down yourself. Airbrush tanning at a salon is also a lot faster and safer since you won’t have to worry about your face or the soles of her feet or hand palms; staining these areas is too easy to do if you do it yourself and it makes you look dirty, not tanned.



Airbrush tanning is far safer than using the sun or using tanning beds. Airbrush tanning does not expose your skin to dangerous UVA or UVB rays which means that you cut down on your chances of contracting skin cancer, moles, sunburns, and premature aging. Airbrush tanning is far safer to use on your skin and as long as you are careful about moisturizing, you stay away from exfoliating products and you make sure not to go swimming every day, it will last quite a long time; long enough for any special event or weekend at the beach. Airbrush tanning is also fairly affordable; usually under fifty dollars a session and you get a perfect tan, the time to make sure it sticks and information on how to make it last as long as possible.



Keep in mind that you will still have to do things like wear sun block and make sure that you use moisturizer at least twice a day to protect your skin and lengthen the life of the tan. A false tan is not going to protect you from sunburn or even help you tan more; it’s simply a stain on your skin that looks as though you spent hours in the sun without the worrying side effects.



Airbrush tanning is a great way to get a tan ready for the summer or looked tanned even in the dead of winter. It’s a fairly quick and affordable treatment and it can last a few weeks as long as you are careful. If you want a beautiful tan anytime of year without all of the damage to your skin, then try airbrush tanning from your local beauty salon. You’ll be thrilled with the results.
