Most spray or self-tanning solutions are DHA-based
Most sunless tanning products are DHA-based, which is not a dye or paint but causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the top layer of skin. DHA is more attached to the dead skin cells and the chemical reaction produces the brown color. The “fake tan” does not last long since dead skin is shed off constantly. DHA is known as a non-toxic chemical and it is not absorbed by the body hence it is tagged as safe. However, DHA has some kind of smell that’s why many spray tanning solutions contain fragrances to help mask the odor and allow users to enjoy the experience more.
Preparation, application and after care are important
Preparation, application and after care play important role in getting that perfect glow and tan. Most spray tanning solutions provide client instructional handout to ensure they get the full benefits of the products. Showering, exfoliating and removing body hair is a must before the tanning session. Clients are advised not to apply moisturizers, deodorants or make-up before the tanning sessions. Long hair should be tied or in a pony tail and hair must be off of face and neck. Following the pre-tan preparation helps in getting the best results once you get out from the spray tanning machine.
