How does airbrush tanning work?
DHA (dihydroxyacetone) ia a solution which is sprayed directly to the client's skin. Then DHA reacts with protein in the outermost surface of the skin, when these two oxidize together they create a brown color. Varying percents of DHA levels are present in different airbrush solutions. This method of tanning does not last as long as truly tanned skin, because it only reaches the upper layer of the skin. This area sloughs off much more rapidly.
How long will an airbrush tan last?
Your airbrush tan will be at it's darkest the first day and fade away daily as the skin is sloughed during the normal process of skin replacement. It will remain visible for 5 days with care, and may last up to 14 days with extreme care. Of course, during the fading process, the rich, dark appearance will continually decrease, as your skin sloughs away. Everyone's skin replacement cycle is different, due to genetics, skin care and health. Keep in mind, some clients swear that their tan lasts up to 2-3 weeks.
How can I get my airbrush tan to last longer and have a
beautiful airbrush tan?
Clients, who take exceptional care of their skin, have longer lasting results. The best thing to help out your tan is to EXFOLIATE as much as you can ahead of time, and shave the night before. SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB YOUR SKIN! After you get out of the shower make sure you moisturize really well around your elbows, knees, and heels to keep your skin soft and smooth. Non-fragranced moisturizers work best. Scrub gloves, loofas, wash clothes are a bonus, and can be combined with an exfoliating body wash. The day of being sprayed you must remove all lotions, perfumes, deodorants, etc. prior to your session.
