Achieving The Best Out Of An Airbrush Fake Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Every few years there is a trend for pale skin but few things lift the spirit quite the way a suntan does. A tan makes you look healthier, really shows off white clothing and many people agree that it even makes you look slimmer. However, spending hours in the sun to get that gorgeous glow can cause premature ageing and skin cancer. A smart alternative is to get a sunless tan. If the product is airbrushed on, it will ensure a more even result. The best is to get your airbrush fake tan from a salon.

An airbrush fake tan is one that is created with a chemical reaction between the skin and a specially formulated product. The active ingredient in most of these products is DHA, a type of carbohydrate. It's often made from sugar cane or sugar beets. The DHA works on dead skin cells, so it only colors the outermost layer of your skin. Before you ask your beautician to apply an airbrush fake tan that contains DHA, apply a little bit of the product to your skin to ensure that you won't have an unexpected allergic reaction.

Before the session, you may use a gentle exfoliating product to remove loose skin cells. This will ensure a more even end result. However, remember that you need dead skin cells for the DHA in the airbrush fake tan product to react with. For this reason, do not over-exfoliate with products like loofahs.

Get rid of unwanted hair before you go for your session. If you shave or apply wax or hair removal creams afterwards, it will remove those skin cells that have been colored during the procedure. The result will be that your airbrush fake tan fades at a faster rate.

It's important that your skin is completely free of lotions, creams and other beauty products before you let the beautician apply the airbrush fake tan. Skin products create a barrier so that the DHA cannot reach the skin cells it's supposed to color. However, you should apply creams to the parts you don't want tanned, like the soles of your feet, to create a more natural-looking result.

You may opt to wear a swimsuit or be naked for the session. A swimsuit will leave tan lines, however, and the DHA will stain the fabric. This is one of the reasons why you should wear loose clothing afterwards. The other reason is that tight clothing can ruin the airbrush fake tan by rubbing and causing sweating.

The skin has to be completely dry for the product to work. As soon as the product comes into contact with water, the color will stop developing. Avoid excessive sweat and don't take a shower for at least eight hours after the session. If you go for the airbrush fake tan on a rainy day, take protective clothing and an umbrella that will keep the rain off your skin.

Your airbrush fake tan will last longer if you refrain from exfoliating your skin. For that first shower after the session, apply a gentle cleanser to your skin and use your hands to lather it in. A washcloth or sponge will remove too much of the product. Keeping your skin well moisturized will prolong your airbrush fake tan but remember to apply sun protection as well, since your skin is still vulnerable to sun damage even if it looks tanned.
