How Spray Tanning Works.

After your body has been completely covered with the tanning spray the DHA starts to become active. It works with the outermost layer of the skin. As a clear color sugar it works together with dead skin cells to change the appearance of your skin. It slowly darkens your skin to give you that sun-kissed glow. The effects begin to show in about 45 minutes and can take up to 3 hours before it completes its job. Just like any tan this is just temporary. As your skin sheds it dead skin cells, little by little the tans begins to fade away.

Is Spray Tanning Safe?

Is spray tanning is a safe way to get a fake tan? A lot of people are concerned about the active ingredient DHA that is found in the spray. It is absorbed into the skin and darkens the skin's pigmentation. FDA approved, it has been proven to be safe for the skin. More and more people are tanning now days using creams and lotions. If you are still concerned just think about how dangerous long term exposure to the sun is. It is a much safer alternative than sun bathing. Everyone knows that long term sun exposure can cause skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. For it's convenience, sunless tanning is becomming insanely popular. Spray tanning salons are opening up all over the place.
