Question 1

WHAT IS AIRBRUSH TANNING?

Accepted Answer

Our sunless tanning solutions contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Eurythrolose , which reacts with the dead surface cells found in the outermost layer of the skin (amino acids); this then produces color change. Our solutions have instant bronzers to ensre an even application and instant results. Most of the added bronzer will come off in the first shower after your waiting time. The color that remains is produced by the DHA reacting with the skin. Naturally, the dead cells on your skin will wear off and its color gradually fades away, giving you a tan that is almost like a genuine sun tan without the harmful UV rays.

Question 2

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY TAN?

Accepted Answer

On the night prior to, or on the morning of the tanning session, the client should shower using mild, non-moisturizing gel soap. Exfoliate the skin with a NON-oil based exfoliant.Shower, and exfoliate before your appointment using mild, non-moisturizing soap and a non-oil based exfoliate. For the best results the person's skin should be clean and free from moisturizers, make-up (makeup wipes  are provided), perfumes and deodorants. Use caution while conditioning the hair, making sure the conditioner does not get on the skin. Such products could cause the solution not to perform as well.This could cause a barrier between the tanning solution and the skin. (If your schedule does not allow showering prior to your appointment, we can supply you with an exfoliating wipe. The exfoliating wipes quickly cleanse, exfoliate and pH balance the skin before sunless products are applied, ensuring that the tanning solution absorbs more effectively).
Waxing, shaving, manicures and pedicures should be done prior to your session.

Question 8

IS AIRBRUSH TANNING SAFE DURING PREGNANCY?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most fake tans are safe to use during pregnancy. The active ingredient in fake tan is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is a type of sugar. It's non-toxic and works by interacting with the protein of the skin cells in the top, dead layer of your skin.

The chemical reaction within these dead cells results in the production of a brown pigment called melanoidin. Some fake tans also contain an ingredient called erythrulose, which works in the same way as DHA.

DHA and erythrulose won't harm your baby. When applied to your skin, DHA and erythrulose don’t go beyond the top cell layer. This means they aren’t absorbed into your body. As your skin renews itself, the fake tan fades as the skins cells are shed.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that spray tans, although rare, can cause allergic reactions. You might want to do a small patch test first to see if you are allergic to the ingredients.

Question 9

WHY IS AIRBRUSH TANNING BETTER THAN THE TANNING BEDS?
