When it comes to achieving that beautiful sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV rays, spray tanning is the perfect solution. At Allure Airbrush & Aesthetics, located at 231 Straight Street in Ripley, WV, we offer professional spray tanning services designed to give you a radiant, natural-looking tan without stepping into the sun. In this blog post, we’ll take you through everything you need to know about spray tanning—why it’s a great option, how it works, and how to maintain your gorgeous tan.
What is Spray Tanning?
Spray tanning is a method of applying a tan without sun exposure using a special mist that contains DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA is a sugar-based compound that interacts with the amino acids in the outermost layer of your skin to produce a tan-like effect. The results are instant, and you’ll have a beautiful bronzed glow in no time!
At Allure Airbrush & Aesthetics, our team of professionals uses the highest quality tanning solutions that are safe for your skin and provide a flawless finish. Whether you’re preparing for a special event, vacation, or just want to feel fabulous, our spray tanning services can help you achieve the perfect tan.
The Benefits of Spray Tanning
- No UV Damage: One of the biggest benefits of spray tanning is that it provides you with the appearance of a tan without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays. Traditional tanning, whether in the sun or tanning beds, increases your risk of premature aging, sunburns, and even skin cancer. Spray tanning eliminates these risks altogether.
- Instant Results: Unlike traditional tanning methods that require hours or days of sun exposure, a spray tan provides instant results. Once the application is complete, you’ll walk out of our studio with a beautiful glow, and the color will continue to develop over the next few hours.
- Customized Color: At Allure Airbrush & Aesthetics, our skilled technicians will work with you to achieve the exact shade you want. Whether you’re looking for a subtle glow or a deep bronze, we can adjust the level of color to match your preference.
- Even Coverage: Our airbrush spray tanning method ensures that every inch of your skin is evenly coated, avoiding the streaky and uneven patches that can sometimes occur with DIY tanning products.
- Quick and Convenient: The spray tanning process usually takes just 15-30 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for anyone with a busy schedule. Plus, you don’t have to worry about waiting for the color to develop in the sun or worrying about sunscreen.
How Does the Process Work?
The spray tanning process at Allure Airbrush & Aesthetics is simple and stress-free:
- Consultation: Before your tan, your technician will discuss your desired shade and explain the tanning process. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire procedure.
- Prep: It’s important to exfoliate and shave the day before your tanning appointment. This helps remove dead skin cells, ensuring that your tan applies evenly and lasts longer. Avoid applying lotion or deodorant before your appointment, as this can create a barrier to the tanning solution.
- Application: Once you’re ready, our technician will carefully apply the tanning solution to your skin using an airbrush. The solution dries quickly, and the entire application process typically takes just 15-20 minutes.
- Aftercare: After your tan is applied, we recommend avoiding water or sweating for about 6-8 hours to allow the color to fully develop. To prolong the life of your tan, moisturize daily and avoid exfoliating or scrubbing your skin too harshly.
How Long Will My Spray Tan Last?
A spray tan typically lasts about 7-10 days, depending on your skin type, how well you care for it, and your activities during that time. To make your tan last longer:
- Hydrate: Moisturize your skin daily to prevent it from drying out, which can cause the tan to fade more quickly.
- Avoid Hot Showers: Hot water can strip away the tan, so opt for lukewarm showers instead.
- Gentle Exfoliation: Avoid aggressive scrubbing or exfoliating your skin to ensure that your tan fades evenly.
Is Spray Tanning Safe?
Absolutely! Spray tanning is a safe and non-invasive cosmetic treatment. At Allure Airbrush & Aesthetics, we use high-quality, FDA-approved tanning solutions that are designed to be safe for your skin. However, it’s important to note that while DHA is generally considered safe for external use, you should always avoid inhaling or ingesting the tanning mist. Our professionals will guide you through the process to ensure that you’re comfortable and safe during your appointment.
