Tan in Minutes
What is Airbrush Tanning? The airbrush tanning system in its simplest
form, is the distributing of a tan colour to the skin utilising
air compressors and an airbrush delivery system. The compressor
forces air out through the end of an airbrush which holds the
solution in a separate chamber. As the air rushes past it collects
small quantities of the solution which are then deposited onto
the skin. Some systems take this process a step further and have
developed technology that polarizes the tanning solutions used
- this in effect turns the fine spray into tiny little magnets.
Our body's natural magnetic fields then draw these fine particles
to the skin creating an evenly distributed colour.
The
active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and most airbrushing
solutions also contain a further external bronzer which begins
to show immediately as soon as they have been sprayed. This aids
the application as the areas that have already been treated are
visible. Therefore the initial colour of the skin is determined
by the formulation of the bronzer used.
Solutions
used in these systems do not contain any sunscreens to protect
the skin from UV exposure and do not help in the production of
vitamin D. So remember to apply a sunscreen when you decide to
go out. |
