Many people with light skin like getting tanned. Especially women like to show off their beautiful bodies covered with chocolate tan. There aren't too many people who want to look pale. Most of us want to look good and catch the eye of the men and women around us. There is no secret that one has to pay its health for good tan. Especially in spring when the sun is in its peak and does not only give warmth but also a harmful radiation that promotes ageing and even serious skin diseases right up to cancer. There really is no alternative to being attentive to the risks of too much real or artificial and the results it can have on your body.
Owing to the modern science we have an option - special cosmetic lotions. The bottles usually bear inscriptions like "auto-bronzing lotion", "self-tanning cream" or similar descriptions. A spray booth tanning uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that interacts with skin protein painting it brownish. For skin this process is absolutely harmless. Only upper skin layers are painted unlike the natural tanning process. Living skin cells remain untouched by spray booth tanning. However, this tan doesn't last long. But in return you don't run the risk of having your skin sunburned.
If you are afraid that the resulting tan won't be balanced across your body, than don't deal with distributors you can't trust. And of course you should observe the following rules of the application. Since "self-tanning" lotions paint only upper skin cells it is important that its thickness should be steady. Otherwise a tan will be spotty. To prevent that one should have his skin peeled before acquiring a sunless tan. Especially it concerns fat skin. You can put a lotion manually but if you want to get really steady tan you should perform spray booth tanning. Many solaria provide such a service.
First of all, it is necessary to determine your skin type. For very light skin that needs to be darkened a bit, choose weak lotions or put it over a thin layer of a cream. It will weaken the influence of an auto-bronzing lotion. A spraying process description is as follows. Very carefully put a lotion, cream or milk over your skin by circular motions trying to put it more steadily. To prevent spots, even more carefully put the cream on the nose, chin and under-eye areas. Also pay attention whether there is no border in the areas of neck, ears, and forehead. Don't spray eyelids and lips. Spray booth tanning provides very good results. It guarantees very steady tan as if you put it over manually.
In the opinion of dermatologists, spray booth tanning is the most reliable way of getting a swarthy skin hue without the sun influence. However, in this case a tan looks not really natural. Keep in mind that newly-acquired tan by spraying doesn't protect your skin from the sun and you run risk of having sunburn if you decide to show off your "summer" skin color. Spray booth tanning is an option in wintertime, for example, if you go in for skiing - you will surely catch an eye of the audience. In addition, don't forget to use moistening creams because auto-bronzing lotions dry skin up to a certain extent. Usually the tan develops in 3-4 hours after having your body sprayed, but will start to fade by the end of the week.
