The pros and cons of an automatic spray tanning booth

One of the many benefits of using a spray tanning booth is the instant tanning effect that you can achieve within a few hours of use. This type of spray tan offers a very precise mist that provides a very uniform coverage without imperfections. Unlike a manual airbrush system where a technician is required, this spray booth is automated.

The cabin combines privacy with warm air that warms and dries your skin at the same time. This quick method offers streak-free head-to-toe coverage. The main ingredient used is dha. It is actually a colorless sugar that interacts with dead skin cells and changes the color of the skin based on the concentration of DHA used.

This is totally safe and FDA approved. A great alternative for people who cannot use the traditional UV tanning method for some reason or another. Spray tanning requires just one session to get up to 3-5 shades darker and is ideal for people with limited time or who need a tan for a special occasion. Traditional UV tanning requires multiple sessions and may cost you more for the same results. The sunless method is quick and lasts as long if properly maintained.

Instant bronzers can be added to the mix to give you an instant tan right away. DHA usually takes 6-8 hours to kick in, so adding this product doesn’t have to wait for the full effect. The tan will last about the same time as a traditional tan and will fade naturally without blemishes or streaks. Properly maintaining your spray tan will increase its shelf life by up to 7-10 days if exfoliation is done earlier and hydration is maintained afterward.

Some of the downsides to using this spray tanning booth is that some people feel claustrophobic. Some people do not apply the barrier cream to their hands and feet, knees and elbows correctly before the session and end up with dark marks in these areas. That is why you should always follow the instructions before starting your session. Another disadvantage is that you cannot swim or sweat from exercise for at least 8-10 hours after application. The product takes time to activate slowly and will flake off if wet within the required period of time.

Remember that the longer you have the active ingredient of the spray tan, the better your result will be, so make sure you give it the minimum time required before any activity or shower.
