How does Spray Tanning work?
Spray tanning is a form of sunless tanning that uses a fine mist of a tanning solution to give your skin a golden hue. The solution is made up of a combination of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which is a colourless sugar that interacts with the proteins in the dead layer of your skin to produce a dark colour, as well as other ingredients like moisturisers, anti-aging and skin-loving extracts.
When you go for a spray tan, you'll be asked to stand in a tent or a room where a technician will spray the solution all over your body. The tanning solution should be left on the skin for about 1-4 hrs for a rapid solution or up to 8 hours for an overnight solution before showering to allow the DHA to fully activate and produce the desired colour.
What is Dha in Tanning?
Dha (dihydroxyacetone) is a colourless sugar that is used in sunless tanning products. It works by reacting with the amino acids in the skin's outer layer, causing a temporary darkening of the skin. Dha is the active ingredient in most self-tanning products and is generally considered safe for use.
Are Spray Tans Safe?
Yes, spray tans are considered to be safe. However, it is important to make sure that you research the product you are using, as some products contain ingredients that may be irritating to your skin. At Glow Base Spray Tanning we use only work with the highest quality, non-toxic professional solutions.
Why would I get a Spray Tan?
A spray tan is an excellent way to get a healthy golden glow without having to expose your skin to potentially harmful UV rays. It can help even out any skin discolouration, giving you an overall healthier and more uniform complexion. Spray tans can also be beneficial if you want to look your best for a special event, like a wedding or vacation. Plus, you can achieve a natural-looking tan without having to spend hours in the sun! It's easy and the results can be tailored to fit your skin tone and preferences.
Can I get a Spray Tan if I already have tanned skin?
Yes, you can get a spray tan even if you already have a tanned complexion. Spray tans are great for maintaining and enhancing your natural tan and evening out the skin. When you go for a spray tan, the technician will use a shade that is close to your existing skin tone to ensure that the tan looks natural and not overly orange.
How long does a Spray Tan last?
A spray tan usually lasts between 5-10 days, depending on how well you care for your skin. To get the most out of your spray tan, make sure to moisturize regularly and avoid activities that will make you sweat excessively. Additionally, avoid swimming and exfoliating as this will cause the tan to fade more quickly. Be sure to follow our preparation & care instructions to ensure a long-lasting tan
