How Does Airbrush Tanning (a.k.a. Body Bronzing) work?
The active ingredient dihydroxyacetone (DHA was approved by the FDA in 1973), reacts with the amino acids (keratin proteins) in the Corneum Stratum, the outermost "dead" layer of your skin. The bronzing reaction takes three to four hours to emerge. It deepens over the next 24 hours and lasts for about a week. There are no long term ultra-violet carcinogenic dangers associated with tanning beds and the sun. This healthy tan goes beautifully over an existing tan and can even out or eliminate any tan lines, if you wish. For the untanned and fair of skin, our premium quality AIRBRUSH TANNING FLORIDA products will fool your friends into thinking you've become a beach baby overnight with the immediate results.
How Long Does The Airbrushing Process Take?
It only takes 8 to 10 minutes for the technician to custom airbrush your entire body and then you dry for 7 minutes. Total time involved is about 15 to 30 minutes.
How Long Does The Tan Last?
Your airbrush tan will last between five and twelve days, and it really depends on how you care for your skin. If you moisturize and take care of your skin, your tan will last longer. Long hot baths or showers, prolonged exposure to chlorine, clothes that chafe, will speed up the exfoliation process and as your skins "sheds", so goes your tan. Using MAINTAIN lotion, specially formulated to sustain the airbrush tan, at least once daily, will extend the life of your tan by 50 to 75%.
How Do I Prepare For My Airbrush Tanning Session?
For the best results, shower and exfoliate the skin the night before your airbrush tanning session. Also the night before, apply the best skin moisturizing lotion you have. The day of your session do not apply lotions, oils, gels, perfumes, deodorants, or any other products (including make up if you want your face tanned) that may create a barrier. Showering with moisturizing soaps like Dove are not recommended as they can inhibit the mist from absorbing into your skin. After being airbrushed you will want to wear loose clothing for 2 hours and avoid bathing for 6 hours to allow the solution ample time to react with the amino acids in the skin.
What Do I Wear For My Airbrush Tanning Session?
If you are a woman, you may wear lingerie, a bathing suit or opt for no tan lines at all. If you are a man, we require that you wear something such as a bathing suit, underwear or Speedo.
How Safe Is Airbrush Tanning?
The active ingredient, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), is derived from raw sugar cane and is the only active ingredient approved by the FDA for sunless tanning products. DHA has been used safely over the years in numerous sunless tanning products, such as creams and lotions. AIRBRUSH TANNING FLORIDA premium quality products are manufactured with the most advanced technology and purest ingredients available. Our water and aloe based solutions allow for better absorption and longer-lasting results than similarly advertised products, many of which are alcohol based and very drying to the skin.
What Is The Difference Between Airbrush Tanning And Using Cream, Lotion or Self-Spray Sunless Tanners?
Imagine the difference between wearing oven mitts on your hands to smear paint over your car and using the mist from an airbrush to paint it. Even with the greatest of care, and help from a friend to get all the places you cannot reach, you cannot duplicate the evenness and natural look of an airbrushed tan custom applied to your body and skin type by a professional technician.
What Is The Difference Between Airbrush Tanning And The Spray Booths?
The end result (your tan) is the difference between taking your car to the quickie car wash and having it hand detailed. Spray booths indiscriminately spray everywhere, without regard to areas needing a lighter or special consideration, resulting in inconsistent tans, often splotchy, streaky, and often with the oranginess associated with the self tanning creams. Booths also utilize an alcohol based solution that is drying to the skin. Compare that to an expertly applied custom tan by a technician trained, certified and supervised by AIRBRUSH TANNING FLORIDA and YOU decide what gets tanned, not a machine.
