Shop Online for Spray Tan Solution
There are some items that people hesitate to purchase over the internet. Clothing, in particular, comes to mind as many people wish to try on the items prior to purchase. People are also wary of purchasing cosmetic items over the internet. I am of the mindset that if you know what you want, it is often better to purchase online.
For instance, I have spray tan equipment in my home because I enjoy getting an even, all over glow every few weeks. As a result I go through a lot of spray tan solution in a year. Since I already know what brand works best for me, I have found wholesalers online from whom I can purchase in bulk at a low price – much lower than what I can get at a local beauty supply store or salon.
Why is My Tan Blotchy?
Who doesn’t love the feeling of coming out of a spray tanning salon with a perfectly even golden glow? Unfortunately, that feeling can be ruined when a seemingly perfect tan begins to fade in a blotchy pattern. What are the reasons a tan becomes blotchy?
One culprit can be getting a spray tan over an existing tan. Airbrush tanning solution cannot properly react with the skin if there is an existing tan in the way. Another cause of a blotchy tan can be using too deep of a color. Skin cells die and shed at different times, so if the applied color is too far away from the natural skin tone then as skin sloughs off it will look patchy.
Getting Vacation Ready
I live in the Pacific Northwest and even though it’s now mid-July we’re still experiencing what I consider to be spring weather. Most days it’s been slightly breezy and in the 60s – far better than the sweltering 90 plus degrees weather other parts of the country have been experiencing. The cooler weather has kept me in jeans and light sweatshirts thus far, which would be fine except that I’m going to the Southwest on vacation next week.
The weather down south is far hotter and more humid than it is here. I’ve neglected tanning since I’ve been so covered up, so I needed to find a quick solution. Fortunately, I got a great spray tan salon recommendation from a friend. I explained to the technician the color I wanted and she adjusted the DHA levels in the spray tanning solution accordingly. Now that I’ve got a natural looking glow, I’m truly ready for vacation.
Purchasing Airbrush Tanning Solution
Do you know what to look for when it comes to spray tanning solution? If not, read on. For starters, you need to know that the depth of color depends largely on the percent of Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) used in the solution; more DHA equals a darker tan. Also note that bronzer is often included in tanning solution to give immediate color as DHA takes time to develop. The bronzer will wash off and may not reflect the final color.
There are also different base formulas that can be broken down into three basic categories. The first is oil-based that has a thick consistency that takes a while to dry, but has the benefit of attracting moisture to the skin. Water-based formulas have a naturally thinner solution, so other elements like aloe are added in as thickening. Quick dry tanning solution contains high alcohol content and a thin consistency. It’s important to think of how your skin reacts to oil, water, and various chemicals when deciding what tanning solution to purchase.
How Sunless Tan Solution Works
Have you ever wondered what makes sunless tan solution so effective? The answer lies in the active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Often, DHA is derived from sugar cane and beets.
DHA binds with proteins on the top layer of the skin and goes through a chemical reaction akin to browning bread, which is where the tan comes from. DHA itself has a more yellow or orange hue than a normal tan, so over the years additives have been incorporated into sunless tan solution to give a more natural glow. A sunless tan fades in approximately two weeks precisely because DHA only binds with the top layer of skin which is constantly renewing itself, unlike deeper layers of skin.
Golden Age of Spray Tanning
Spray tanning has experienced a boom over the last decade. Once considered to be in the realm of celebrity, now everyone has access to fake tans. From noticeably darker politicians to reality stars like Snooki and Kelly Osbourne, everyone is jumping on the spray tanning wagon.
In an article I recently read, an owner of a spray tanning salon in Virginia said that his business has grown by 50 percent over the last year. He estimated that he mixes 6,000 gallons of spray tan solution each week. Pricing for spray tans ranges from affordable to expensive, with some sessions going for as much as $100. One high-end technician justifies the cost by saying that some of her elite clientele will spend $300 just to have their make-up done for one night. In this golden age, there is a lot of money to be made.
Knowledge Is Power
As with anything in the world, it is important to do your research before you try anything new. Tanning is no different. There are a lot of different options when first deciding to tan. Tanning lotions are an option as well as spray tanning.
When choosing a spray tan solution it is important to make sure that you don’t have any allergic reaction to the chemicals in it. The chemical DHA (dihydroxiacetone) is usually a component in most tanning solutions. It is capable of replicating the tanning effect of the sun’s rays. Before using any type of tanning solution make sure that you aren’t allergic to it beforehand.
Alternative to Sun Bathing
Skin cancer is a rapidly growing problem for a lot of people today. While most people enjoy lying out in the sun, it can become very damaging to the skin. There are other ways that you can get the effect of hours of sun tanning without having to lay out in the sun.
One other alternative is doing sunless tanning. There are quite a few options out there to choose from. One of the options is sunless tanning lotions. Sunless tanning lotions do not contain harmful ingredients, but are effective in giving you that bronze look that you desire.
What’s in Your Tanning Solution?
Have you ever stopped to think about what ingredients go into making your favorite tanning solution? Well, today we’ll review some of the most basic ingredients found in a flawless tanning solution.
• Aloe Vera ~ A widely used medicinal plant proven, skin soothing benefits of topical application.
• Antioxidants ~ They contain vitamins E and C and beta-carotene and work to destroy free radicals that cause wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
• Bronzers ~ A temporary color, much like makeup, used to deliver a short-term tan.
• Denatured Ethanol ~ A fast-drying agent that allows the tanning solution to dry much quicker.
• Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) ~ An FDA-approved agent derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane. The action of DHA is limited to the upper layers of the skin and reacts with amino acids within the skin proteins to form brown color compounds.
