What
is an Air Brush Tan?
Airbrush Tanning—body airbrushing using an FDA approved ingredient, DHA,
(dihydroxyacetone). It is the same ingredient in all the safe
self-tanning products.
Our
Air Brush Tan simply has:
A delivery system that provides an even application thereby avoiding
streaking and blotching. We recommend only one session per week and in
some cases we will provide a maximum of two applications in a week for
certain skin types.
How Does This Work?
Very simply, the DHA (dihydroxyacetone) reacts with the amino acids
(proteins) in the outermost layer of your skin. Note: Those cells are
already “dead skin”. It takes about three to four hours for the reaction
to complete and look tan.
Is
This Safe?
The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone and has been approved by the
FDA for cosmetic applications. The balance of the spray is composed of
inert carrying agents. We have not, to date, had any such reaction to our
product, but we do know that some self tanning lotions using DHA have had
customers experience a rash that lasts for a couple of hours and then
disappears.
How
long does the Air Brush Last?
We have found that the length of tan is determined by the following
factors:
The skin type - A persons skin type will react to an Air
Brush Tan very much like it does to the natural sun.
The amount of “wear” - Only the outermost layer of
skin is “tanned”. As the skin layer is lost, so is the tan. Wear comes
from rubbing, soaking in water or long showers, tight clothing,
“scratchy” clothing or bleach. You wouldn’t use an SOS pad on the finish
of your new car, so don’t be abrasive to your skin and you will keep your
tan longer. Finally, dry skin will shorten the life of your tan!
So—Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!!! It depends on you. For most
people 5-7 days, but some have lasted as long as 12 days!
How
long should I allow for the treatment?
The application takes about 10—15 minutes and a couple minutes to dry
enough to get dressed. Always, allow 20 minutes whenever you come in for
an appointment.
How
often should I tan? Is every day all right?
We suggest once a week, but that depends on your personal tan “wear”. We
will not schedule tanning applications more than twice a week. Excessive
applications may result in some discoloration.
What
should I wear to be sprayed and will it damage my clothes?
You can wear a swim suit just as you would at the beach and our spray
will wash out just fine with out damage to your suit or you may wish to
avoid tan lines completely, it’s your choice.
I
like tanning in the sun and using tanning beds. Why should I change?
We know how wonderfully warm the sun feels and how relaxing tanning beds
are, we use them as well!!! You
may chose an Air Brush Tan if you need a quick tan and do not have the
time to tan in a bed or in the sun.
You may have a medical condition, or are taking medication that
prevents you from tanning in a bed or in the sun. You may choose to avoid UV rays that
may cause skin damage.
There are many reasons to choose an Air Brush Tan
from Escape Day Spa and Salon;
Whatever reason you have, you will have a safe beautiful Tan!
Air Brush
Sessions
First
Session:
It is important that you exfoliate your skin in preparation for your
session. Skin that is exfoliated properly will make your tan look better,
and it will last longer.
Future
Sessions:
Subsequent applications can be scheduled once a week, depending on your
skin type and how you care for your skin.
