All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Why It's Popular

By Haywood Hunter


Exposing yourself to the sun can give your skin that tanned look. However, many people are steering clear of doing such because UV rays can cause problems such as skin cancer and premature aging signs. Fortunately, there are many alternatives to sunbathing these days, and one of them is with the use of a sunless tanning booth.

It's just a small room where the individual steps in and is sprayed with dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical comes from plant sources so it's safe for use on humans, and proof to that is the FDA's approval. DHA turns the topmost layer of the skin, which is mostly dead cells, into brown.

The chemical is sprayed with the use of atomizers, delivering a fine mist. Because of this, better coverage can be enjoyed. Such allows you to have a tan that's free of streak so it's natural looking. Also, the chemical won't leave stains on your hair or clothing.

Once inside the stall, you have to press a button after you hold your breath and close your eyes. The atomizers will give off DHA in the form of fine mists. You have to allow the chemical to stay on your skin for a few seconds before you towel off the excess and get dressed.

It's only about after an hour that a change in skin color is noticeable. The deepest brown color may be noted after 24 hours have passed. The tan may last for about 5 to 10 days. It's possible to enjoy the color longer than that by frequently undergoing the procedure. That's because your skin gets used to DHA much better after some time.

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.
