All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Its Advantages

By Veronica Cappelletti


Sunbathing allows you to enjoy a sun-kissed radiant skin. But many are staying away from doing it because they're afraid of developing skin cancer and premature aging signs caused by the sun's UV rays. Good thing that there are numerous options to get a tan nowadays, and a popular one is using a sunless tanning booth.

This is a small enclosure wherein DHA, short for dihydroxyacetone, is sprayed onto the individual. This chemical is safe as it has FDA's approval to be used on humans. The topmost layer of your skin, which is basically comprised of dead cells, reacts to DHA and is turned into a darker color.

The great thing about this method is atomizers are used to spray the chemical all over your body. Through fine mists, better coverage is enjoyed that's free of streaks. This results in a tanned skin that looks natural and streak-free. Further, you don't have to worry about having your clothes stained afterwards.

A cap has to be worn when inside the enclosure. You take a deep breath, close your eyes and press on a button. Such will activate the atomizers, spraying fine mist all over your body. You have to allow the chemical to stay on your skin for a few seconds before the excess is toweled off.

A change in the skin color may not be noticed until after about an hour has passed. It's after 24 hours that you will enjoy the deepest brown color possible. This can last anywhere from 5 to 10 days. Repeatedly undergoing the procedure allows your skin to get more used to the chemical, causing it to sustain the brown color longer.

There are at-home products which may be purchased that also take advantage of DHA. Usually, they come in the form of creams, lotions, gels and sprays. However, getting an even tan using them can be quite tricky. Going to a salon offering a sunless tanning booth is still your best bet to get a radiant tanned skin you can show off.
