Achieving The Best Out Of An Airbrush Fake Tan

To look healthy and relaxed, a tan can make a world of difference. Unfortunately the sun can cause serious damage to your skin. The secret is to go for a sunless tan, which creates the same effect than the real thing with the difference that it's better for your skin and you can get it in a fraction of the time. For the best results, go to a salon for an airbrush fake tan. It's cheaper than a trip to a beach destination and getting the product airbrushed onto your skin will create a more natural-looking effect.

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.

Because DHA reacts with dead skin cells, it's not advisable to exfoliate too much before going for an airbrush fake tan. Harsh exfoliants like loofahs will leave no dead cells for the DHA to react with. However, you need to exfoliate gently to remove loose skin cells and ensure an even airbrush fake tan.

Shaving and other hair removal methods have an exfoliating effect. However, it's better to remove hair before getting an airbrush fake tan. This is because hair removal afterwards will make the color fade faster by removing the newly colored skin cells.

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.

When the product reacts with water, it stops working. You need to stay dry after the procedure until the color has developed enough. Don't take a shower for at least eight hours and avoid sweating too much. A talcum powder can help with this. If it's rainy outside, make sure that your skin is completely protected from the raindrops.

Exfoliating will cause your airbrush fake tan to fade very quickly. When you take your first shower after the airbrushing session, use a gentle cleanser and apply it to your hands rather than to a washcloth or loofah. Also apply moisturizer. When you go out into the sun, apply a sunscreen because your skin is still susceptible to sun damage.
