spray tanning Los Angeles refers to the cosmetic effect of a fake tan without the sun. Sunless tan is now one of the most popular types of tanning since its easy to use and quick to get. In years past, you had to spend hours in the sun in order to achieve a nice bronze tan. Today, you can achieve a similar look by spending just a few minutes in the sun.
Spray tanning involves applying a chemical solution onto your skin while in a shower or while getting out of the shower. You then cover up and walk outside in your neighborhood to have your artificial tan applied. Sunless tan creams and lotions are the most common artificial tan solutions. They work by depositing color into the skin, making it appear darker than it would naturally.
There are three layers of skin - the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue. A good quality spray tan solution will contain one of several ingredients that target the particular layer of skin that needs to be treated. The most commonly used is dihydroxyacetone or DHA. This active ingredient is what gives the product its color.
DHA is actually considered a "non-carcinogenic" substance. That means that it doesn't cause cancer. The closest compound that it could cause cancer is octyl dimethyl acetate or OctDA. It does, however, produce a chemical reaction that leaves behind some brownish scars. This chemical reaction does not occur when the product is applied to the skin directly; rather, it's washed off in the shower or rinsed off with water after application.
There are two types of dihydroxyacetone based spray tanning solutions on the market - lotions and sprays. Some lotions contain only DHA, while others contain a combination of DHA and an artificial fragrance. There are also lotions that have a glycerol base. Both lotions and sprays should never be used by pregnant women using prescription products without consulting your physician.
Many people wonder how the spray tanning solution penetrates the skin. Typically, it works by being sprayed onto the skin. It usually has a short but long term effect. Some lotions can be left on the skin for up to six hours before they need to be removed. To protect your tan, you'll want to cover up your clothing and apply sunscreen, if you can. Even if the sun isn't directly overhead when you're walking around, the spray tanning solution could wind up on your clothing, which could transfer it into your skin.
To prepare for spray tanning at a salon, you will need to exfoliate beforehand. A bronzer or exfoliant may be used ahead of time to prep the skin. An exfoliant like salicylic acid is effective at removing dead skin cells, but must be applied prior to spray tanning to ensure that the lotion goes onto the body effectively. After exfoliation, you should use a browser of some sort to color the area. Many salons will offer browsers that are specially formulated for spray tanning.
If you have never had a spray tanning experience, it may seem a little scary at first. However, most people report that the procedure is actually quite easy and comfortable. You can get a golden glow in just a few hours if you follow the right instructions. If you experience any pain, you should let the salon staff know about it before the session is started. This will help them to minimize the discomfort and improve your experience.
During your first spray tanning experience, you will probably be given a lip balm or lotion to wear while in the salon. It is important to use this lip balm, as it will keep your lips soft and moisturized during the process. Lip balms are also very good for protecting your face and teeth from staining. Just remember not to leave the lotion on your mouth for too long or it could cause irritation.
An interesting new feature being introduced with spray tanning booths is self tanning. Self tanning comes in both spray tanning lotions and self tanning foam. The lotion is used before the tanning session, as it helps the body absorb the tan faster. The foam works by depositing pigment deep into the skin, where it remains even after the spray tanning process is over.
The most popular method of spray tanning is using an airbrush machine at a beauty salon. Airbrush technology uses a pressurized stream of air to spread the tanning agent over the body. This method is easy and convenient, and can be used by almost anyone. If you are unsure whether or not you can use this method at home, I recommend that you visit a salon where airbrush technology is used. They will be able to give you the professional advice needed.
