The Option Of Sunless Tanning

Many of us are lucky enough to enjoy the natural sun outdoors. But often people live in areas of the world that have short and cloudy days. And most places have a winter season were there is less opportunity to spend time outside.

And many of us took advantage of outdoor sun a bit too much when we were younger. Nowadays, people understand better the relationship between sun and aging and cancer, and it makes enjoying long summer days less enjoyable. Some have turned to sunless tanning as an option to at least have the look of that healthy outdoor tan.

The sunless tanning spray used in these salons is called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA causes a reaction with the skin sells on the outside of the skin, causing them to darken. This process takes a few hours until the skin has the full tanned effect of the treatment, The tanned look will last as long as the cells remain on the body, but will fade as soon as they slough off, at about the same rate as a regular tan.

Often this product is mixed with bronzers and tanners that give the client the more direct look of a tan, to have it show up right away. These salons also offer bronzers, lotions, mousses and other products to use at home in addition to these services.

These are some of the diverse options that the tanning salon industry is developing for its clients. The reason that many salons are beginning to offer this sunless tanning as an option that is so that it will more worry-free than the UV option, removing the concerns about cancer and premature aging. Sunless tanning includes either the use of a spray booth to be airbrushed with the tanner by a technician, or direct application by staff. These sessions range in price for a hour session from between 25-100 dollars per visit, with the latter option costing about $125.

Hopefully a good tanning salon that offers these products and procedures will be knowledgeable about them so that they can answer any questions you might have and help you choose the option that would be best for your lifestyle. And they should offer other services such as helping you select the products that would best maintain the tan when you are at home between visits.
