Airbrush tanning
In the summer, nothing’s better than having a beautiful deep dark tan, but what about during the winter? You can use tanning beds, but they may cause irreversible skin damage just like the sun. You could try spray tanning, but that can streak and run, giving you a very unnatural look. Home tanners are cheaper than going to a salon, but they can be messy, annoying, and give mediocre results. To get a great, natural, sexy tan, and keep it all year round; you should look into air brush tanning.
Airbrush tanning uses the same type of tool that’s used to airbrush photos in magazines. In this method air is compressed and forced very quickly through a colorant and onto your skin. This way, as air passes through the colorant, it picks up tiny particles and disperses them on the skin. Because the air is moving quickly, it only picks up small amounts; this creates a very fine mist of colorant and gives you a smooth, even tan.
Many people confuse airbrush tanning with spray tans, but the two are quite different. Unlike a spray tan, where a gentle mist is sprayed uniformly over the body at once, an airbrush tan is basically painted on the body one part at a time. A technician will use the airbrush to paint each surface of your body individually. It takes longer than spray tanning, but this way they can make sure that there are no missed spots or streaks so you get a uniform tan all over. This method is also superior to spray tanning because it uses a finer mist so you’re less likely to get streaks and drips. With an air brush, the tanner stays where it’s put, giving you a very even tan.
The thing you need to remember when getting this type of tan is, unlike many other cosmetic procedures, airbrush tanning is not yet regulated. You must be trained and licensed to cut nails or do hair, but the same is not necessarily true with airbrush tanning. For this reason, you should take extra care in choosing the person to apply your tan. Before you make an appointment, call the salon and ask some questions: what kind of training do they have, what kind of precautions they take to protect you and themselves, what kind of ventilation do they use, how many return and referral clients do they have, etc. If you don’t like their answers, or they hesitate in giving them, it’s best to keep looking.
Once you’ve made your appointment, you should take some steps to make sure your tan goes on right and stays on as long as possible. You should shave and exfoliate your skin before coming in. This makes sure all the dead skin is off so it doesn’t flake off right after your tan. You can also wax instead of shaving, but be sure to do it a day or so before your appointment. You should try to remove all chemicals from your skin ahead of time. This means not using lotion the day of your appointment and removing deodorant and make-up before you come in. You should also wear loose, dark clothing to the salon. Anything that rubs into your skin, like socks and bra, may rub off the tanner, so you may not want to wear them to your appointment. If you follow these steps, your tan should last about ten days.
It is also a good idea to bring wear goggles, nose plugs, ear plugs, and lip balm to your appointment. DHA is a sugar contained in all sunless tanning products. While it has been approved by the FDA for external use for many years, its effects internally are unknown. Taking these extra precautions is fairly easy and will keep you safe during your tan.
Hopefully this article has cleared up any questions you may have had about airbrush tanning. Now you can go out and look great with your sexy airbrushed tan.
PREPARATION
1. Shave and exfoliate your skin the night before your airbrush tan.
2. Avoid lotions on the day of your tan as these will act as a blocker.
3. Try to remove deodorant and make-up before your tan – these can be re-applied immediately after.
4. Wait at least eight hours to get a tan if you have just gotten a wax.
5. Wear loose, dark clothing on the day of your tan. Don’t wear socks or a bra if you don’t want tan lines.
6. You cannot get near water for about eight hours, so dress appropriately if it’s raining.
MAINTAINING YOUR AIRBRUSH TAN…
1. Don’t shower for six to eight hours after your session.
2. Apply Illumination Tan’s Tan Extending Moisturizer morning and evening after your post-tan shower to get the maximum life out of your tan.
3. Avoid products with alcohol and use products designed for airbrush tanning.
4. Chlorine in swimming pools and jacuzzis will shorten the length of your tan.
BE AWARE OF…
Medicated or prescription lotions. These act as barriers to tanning solutions. Wait at least five days from the last use before you get an airbrush tan.
Sunburns. If you have had a recent sunburn and have a possibility of peeling, the tan won’t work until your skin has peeled. Otherwise, you could come out looking like a leopard!
With the airbrush program, you have to have a person doing it to you. The client would have to wear a bathing suit or get naked. The airbursh gun is like a fingernail airbrush. You just stand there as you would if they were airbrushing your nails. You put your arms out and let the person spray you with a self tanner. I have not personally done that. So I am not necessarily an expert in airbrush tanning. I can give you some information about it, but I personally have not tried it myself.
I know California Tan does spray tanning as well, I am sure it works very well, then you can contour the body much more than you could with Mystic tan or sunless tanning. The technician is able to use the gun to accentuate certain areas making you look like you have a nice color. If you add the airbrush a little bit more on the side of your body, it makes you look slimmer. It’s what I heard. There is actually a little bit more of an art to that, I think.
It has a lot to do with equipment anyway. Even with Mystic Tanning, if the sprayers are not performing properly then the person is not going to get a good tan. If the nozzles are clogged or if the airbrush does not clean properly, those are problems. There are a lot of things that you have to maintain with these units. That’s a one thing about sunless tanning, you really have to make the client understand how important is to take our advice otherwise they are going to be unhappy.
What is Airbrush Tanning?
Sun Kiss Mist is the newest airbrush tanning system that’s available to professionals and home users. We supply both the equipment and the supplies to keep your business growing. Sun Kiss Mist uses a DHA solution formulated with the highest quality of ingredients to get the best golden airbrush tan without the orange look. Dihydroxyacetone, other known as DHA is a colorless sugar that has been FDA approved for more than 30 years. DHA darkens the skin by interacting with the amino acids in the dead surface cells found in the outermost layer of the skin, producing color changes.
How does Sun Kiss Mist work?
Sun Kiss Mist works by using our Sun Kiss Mist air brush tanning system. It is applied by spraying the body with a UV free solution. The active ingredient in Sun Kiss Mist is Dihydroxyacetone DHA. DHA is a colorless sugar that has been FDA approved for more than 30 years, which darkens the skin. DHA works by interacting with the amino acids in the dead surface cells found in the outermost layer of the skin, producing color changes. As the dead skin cells are naturally wearing off, the color gradually fades, just like a genuine sun tan. This does not cause damage to the underlying living layers of skin.
Is Sun Kiss Mist safe?
Yes, the active ingredient DHA has been approved for cosmetic applications for 30 years. Most Sunless and bronzing tanning lotions use DHA. People who have allergies should test their skin first before using. Or check the ingredients list to make sure there is no concern before getting sprayed by Sun Kiss Mist.
Will airbrush tanning help from not burning?
No, Sun Kiss Mist DHA solution does not contain any sunscreens to protect your skin from UV exposure while outside. You may look tan but remember to apply a sunscreen when you decide to go out doors. You may still use indoor tanning to help with the production of vitamin D. While tanning inside or out you will still be able to build a natural tan.
How long does Sun Kiss Mist take to apply?
It takes about 15 to 20 minutes for the whole process to be complete. The first 10 minutes is having the DHA solution applied to your body. Then it takes about five to 10 minutes for it to dry.
How should I prepare for my Sun Kiss Mist session?
Exfoliate the body and shower before you spray the body with Sun Kiss Mist. Make sure that there are no oils, lotions, perfumes, and make up on the body. It’s best to wear loose-fitting clothing after your session. During your session you can wear a bathing suit while getting sprayed, our solution will not stain your clothes.
What should I do after my Sun Kiss Mist session?
Wear loose-fitting clothing for about three hours. And also do not shower, work out, or do any activity that you can sweat for the same period of time. This allows the DHA solution plenty of time to react with the amino acids in the skin.
What type of payment methods does Sun Kiss Mist accept?
Sun Kiss Mist accepts credit card payments on the web site through PayPal.com and will accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express payments over the phone at 888-500-2TAN (2826). Sun Kiss Mist also accepts checks and money orders through mail.
