Airbrush tanning vs HVLP tanning machines
Airbrush Tanning solution is distributed over the skin using a compressor and an airbrush delivery system that looks very similar to the airbrush tools used by artists to paint on canvases.
The air compressor forces air out through the end of an airbrush that is attached to a bottle or can of tanning solution. As the air speeds through the airbrush it collects fine particles of spray tanning solution that are smoothly and evenly deposited onto the skin. Airbrush Tanning can also be applied by using a HVLP turbine machine that atomizes the spray tanning solution into a finer mist than a airbrush. HVLP machines will apply a spray tan in half the time of a airbrush tanning machine.
Preventing Sunburn
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I am accustomed to only seeing the sun a few weeks out of the year. For the most part it is cloudy, rainy and dreary. This means that most people have pasty, almost clear, complexions.
This epidemic of translucent skin usually spells disaster when the sun does come out, as people are especially prone to burning. For years I had been against any form of spray tan or tanning bed, but I realized that it is almost a necessity here. These tanning measures are a great way to produce a “base coat” and prevent damaging burning.
Mobile Spray Tanning and Skin Cancer
Mobile Spray tanning is an art along with service and products that allows people to have a rich beautiful tan, without exposing themselves to harmful UV rays. Mobile spray tanning is a safe alternative to UV sun tanning.
“Cancer of the skin is the most common of cancers, probably accounting for at least half of all cancers. Melanoma accounts for less than 5% of skin cancer cases but causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 62,480 new melanomas will be diagnosed in the United States during 2008,” (American Cancer Society). You can find a mobile spray tanning company in your area by contacting www.ArtesianTan.com they will help you find a proven sunless tanning professional.
Everybody Is Going Sunless spray tanning!
Everybody is going sunless, it was even noted in US Weekly Magazine that Kim Kardashian ,“tried to schedule an 11 p.m. spray tan after the eight-hour shoot,” for Cosmopolitan Magazine. See, even a bronze diva has it in her mind to play it safe, and not risk the harmful rays that increase aging and can cause skin cancers. I wonder which spray tan solutions are preferred by today’s top celebrities.
The perfect spray tan solution is something that we all want. Something that we can take our clients to the darkest extreme without tuning them orange, leaving them streaky, greasy, dry, or with a pungent odor that sticks with them for days. My personal favorite spray tan solutions are the Artesian Tan products and the Norvell Products. I am curious about feedback on HPLV machines though. Which machines are you using, and what are your likes and dislikes about the machine?
Spray tanning equipment daily mantenance
Spray tanning equipment daily maintenance is recommended per Apollo Sprayers sun mist and mini mist owners manuel. Any tanning solutions in the cup be emptied back into their original containers. The tanning solution extra cups should be washed out with lukewarm water and a drop of dish soap, rinsed, inverted and left to dry overnight. For cleaning of the gun, fill one of the cups with 2-3 ounces of lukewarm water and a drop of dish soap. Spray the soapy water through the gun into a sink. Then fill the cup with clear water and spray until the water runs clear. Remove the cup, the excess water will flow out of the tube, and spray air only for 30 seconds. Wipe the gun down, as well as the hose and spray tanning machine.
On-going maintenance is recommended for your spray tanning equipment. Use the gun cleaning kit and a airbrush/ HVLP cleaner once every two-four weeks to ensure your gun’s peak performance. Airbrush cleaner can be found online at stores like ArtesianTan.com. Check your air pre-filter every week. It can be cleaned with any mild soap and water, dried and reinstalled. Replace pre-filter as necessary. Clean your excess spray tanning solutions daily and you will never have any problems!
spray tan business can make you money
Many people are interested in the spray tan business, because of the low start up costs for this type of small business. It can also be easily run from your home, or an established salon or Spa looking to add spray tanning. You can get started for as little as $300.00, for a small HVLP Machine like a apollo Sprayer Mini Mist or MaxiMist, with an entry level tanning supply package. For higher end Apollo Sprayer sun mist , whisper mist or Norvell Tanning NT-2000 equipment package, suitable for large volume tanning salons , options can range as high as $1699.00.
When you consider each client will pay you an average of $35 to $55 per spray tan session, plus additional “post care” lotions, it is very easy to begin to see dollar signs. Repeat clients generally are re-sprayed every 7 to 10 days. But before jumping in the spray tan business, one must be prepared to do a lot of research, so you don’t invest all your savings into a venture that you may not be well suited for. A great resource is ArtesianTan.com they offer alot of free help in getting started.
Help me find the perfect Sunless Tanning Solution and Sunless Tanning Products!
There are many times in a person’s life when we are faced with dilemmas. As a Melanoma survivor and current fighter, I am constantly faced with the challenge of which sunless tanning solution to use, or which sunless tanning products are the best. One of the struggles that I face with dealing with Melanoma, and facing its day to day issues, is that I find myself preaching to several tanning salons and today’s youth on the dangers of UV tanning. The struggle is that I want to preach the beauties of pale skin, but I too desire the natural healthy look of a suntan, and seek the desire to be tan.
After all – being tan is what ended me up in the mess that I am in. Growing up in the north, at least for half of my life, and being active in sports gave me the passion to go to tanning salons as much as possible; so that I could achieve the ultimate tan, sometimes even three to four times a week. With the desire to still have some type of color, the mission to find the perfect sunless tanning solution still lives on. If you get the chance let me know which sunless tanning products you have found to be the most natural looking.
Make a Lasting Impression
The job market looks to be improving gradually, but most openings continue to draw fierce competition. There are a number of traditional ways to set yourself apart from other applicants – such as providing a well-designed, error-free resume. Beyond that, physical appearance can make a huge difference. Most people learn to dress for success, but it’s not just the clothes that make the man.
Before your job interview, think about additional ways to highlight your health and energy – that way you’ll give a prospective employer the best first impression possible. Interviews only last a few minutes to an hour, so you’ll need to make the most of the time you have. A sunless spray tan can give you a considerable physical edge over your competition; it will affect the interviewer’s impression of you in the most positive way possible.
Spray Tan Tents for Spas and mobile tanning
Setting up Spray Tan Tents are simple, as you just need to remove the Tent from nylon carry bag and it easily pops up into an instant spray tanning booth. These spray tan tents have no door as it is not neccessary for most spray tanning applications and adds unneccessary bulk and weight.
Pop up spray tanning tents are a must for any mobile or spa to look professional. Spray tan tents catch all of the over spray and have a zippered cutout in the back for extraction fans. Most wholesale sunless tanning supplies have spray tanning tents that can ship anywhere.
