Tanning Solutions
Having lived in the Southwest for the majority of my life, I’ve come accustomed to sporting a perennial tan. Since my job has forced me to relocate to Iowa, the opportunities to bask in the sun’s rays are limited to the traditional sunny seasons. This left me looking for alternatives for maintaining my healthy golden hue.
Although I was reluctant to try any sort of artificial tan, my friend suggested that I tryout a local spray tanning company. Since there aren’t any of the cancer risk that are intrinsic in tanning beds, I decided to give it a shot. After the first session, I was hooked. The tanning professional came to my home with a mobile tanning booth and had me looking like a bronzed Greek god in no time. Now I have the company comeback periodically to give me a new coat and keep me looking beautiful.
Spray Tanning Kits
In recent weeks we have reviewed some of the basics of starting your own spray tan business. Although it is possible for many people to embark on this entrepreneurial journey, some people may still have questions as to the best way to start and which spray tanning supplies are the best for the job. For those who are still left with questions about purchasing spray tanning equipment, there are comprehensive kits that can help get you started.
The kits come with everything that you need to get started and often are available at a discount. Some of the supplies that are included in these kits include: a tanning sprayer, popup tent, tanning solution, and other essential products for professional application and cleaning your equipment. These kits are a great way for beginners to become acquainted with the various aspects of spray tanning and build a foundation for their business.
Which Sunless Tanning Solution Should I Use?
If you have never applied a spray tan before, you may be asking yourself, “What type of sunless tanning solution should I use?” The truth is that there is no objective answer that will work for all people, and the proper solution is contingent on your particular skin tone and characteristics. There are four skin types, and there is a different solution that is appropriate for each one:
~Type I skin is typically very fair and is characterized by sensitivity to sun and inability to tan. A solution with a DHA percentage around 7 is optimal.
~Type II has similar characteristics as Type I expect that you will be able to achieve a light tan; a stronger solution with a DHA percentage of 7-9 is recommended.
~Type III is the category that most Caucasians fit into, and these people can achieve a medium tan in the sun. A solution with a DHA percentage of around 9 is advised.
~Type IV is the darkest category and usually includes people of Hispanic, Asian and Mediterranean descent. A stronger solution of 9-11 is suggested, and you may even add extra darkening solution
Simple Spray Tanning: Part Three
Now that you’ve taken the proper preparations to ensure that your tan is applied correctly and professionally, you don’t want your airbrush tanning solution to fade away in a few days. When you go to get your spray tan, make sure that you wear loose, inexpensive clothing. Immediately following application, the solution can be somewhat sticky, and you don’t want any of it peels off onto your clothes.
Depending on the type of solution that you use, the amount of time that you should stay away from water will vary. Follow the specific instructions for your product, and be sure to avoid water, including sweating, during that period. Finally, moisturize your skin with a natural product on a daily basis. Not only will this help preserve your tan, but it will also improve the overall quality of your skin.
Winter Tanning Solution
Now that winter is upon us, I am beginning to realize that my summer tan has long been a thing of the past. Due to my Irish and Russian heritage, I tend to become somewhat translucent during the balmy winter months. This year I’ve decided to combat this unattractive trend and have begun searching for a safe and effective tanning solution.
For several reasons, I am diametrically opposed to lying in a tanning bed. Not only are there significant health risks, but it also feels like a less than masculine venture. Last week my sister suggested that I try some of her tanning lotion, and I instantly saw results. My skin has regained its healthy glow and I can even apply it in the privacy of my own home.
Circumvent the Tanning Bed
The effects of tanning beds have long since been under debate, and the questions only increase with the growing number of beds emerging throughout the world: Are they safe? Do they increase the body’s production of vitamin D? Can overuse be linked to some forms of cancer?
People will disagree over some of these questions, but the bottom line is that overexposure to ultraviolet radiation – the type that tanning beds give off – is inherently harmful. They can damage skin cells and alter DNA structure, which can cause cancer and melanoma. The FDA and World Health Organization have denounced the use of tanning beds, citing cosmetic reasons as the basis for their claims. That being said, there is a safe way to maintain a healthy glow throughout the year: sunless tanning lotion. The lotion provides the same color and consistency of a tanning bed without exposing you to the detrimental radiation.
