Achieving The Best Results From An Airbrush Fake Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Few things can lift the spirit like a suntan does. It gives you healthy-looking skin, makes your white clothes look fantastic and can even make you look trimmer. However, the same sun that causes that beautiful glow also causes skin cancer and premature ageing. A sunless tan is a great way to get the benefits without the risks. Having the product airbrushed on will ensure that the results are even. Most salons offer an airbrush fake tan.

An airbrush fake tan is one that is created with a chemical reaction between the skin and a specially formulated product. The active ingredient in most of these products is DHA, a type of carbohydrate. It's often made from sugar cane or sugar beets. The DHA works on dead skin cells, so it only colors the outermost layer of your skin. Before you ask your beautician to apply an airbrush fake tan that contains DHA, apply a little bit of the product to your skin to ensure that you won't have an unexpected allergic reaction.

Before the session, you may use a gentle exfoliating product to remove loose skin cells. This will ensure a more even end result. However, remember that you need dead skin cells for the DHA in the airbrush fake tan product to react with. For this reason, do not over-exfoliate with products like loofahs.

Get rid of unwanted hair before you go for your session. If you shave or apply wax or hair removal creams afterwards, it will remove those skin cells that have been colored during the procedure. The result will be that your airbrush fake tan fades at a faster rate.

Before the beautician can apply the airbrush fake tan product to your skin, you should ensure that your skin is totally clean and dry. Products like lotions form a barrier around the skin and prevent the DHA from doing its work. However, for parts that you don't want to become discolored, like the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet, you should apply skin cream.

You may wear as much or as little as you want for the session. However, DHA stains clothing, so don't wear your brand-new designer bikini. Also remember that tight-fitting clothing can rub off your airbrush fake tan or cause you to sweat, so for a few hours after the procedure you should try not to wear a bra and opt for loose clothing instead.

The skin has to be completely dry for the product to work. As soon as the product comes into contact with water, the color will stop developing. Avoid excessive sweat and don't take a shower for at least eight hours after the session. If you go for the airbrush fake tan on a rainy day, take protective clothing and an umbrella that will keep the rain off your skin.

Your airbrush fake tan will last longer if you refrain from exfoliating your skin. For that first shower after the session, apply a gentle cleanser to your skin and use your hands to lather it in. A washcloth or sponge will remove too much of the product. Keeping your skin well moisturized will prolong your airbrush fake tan but remember to apply sun protection as well, since your skin is still vulnerable to sun damage even if it looks tanned.
