10 things no one tells you about spraytanning
My solution is PETA approved, paraben free, fragrance free, alcohol free, and premium.
The active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (or DHA), is a simple
carbohydrate. We use the purest form if DHA available from sugar beets. Non transdermal, spraytanning is simply
reacting with the skin’s outermost layer of proteins, resulting in a browning effect, using no harsh dyes.
Sunless tanning was first introduced into the consumer marketplace in the 1960s.
In 1977, the FDA added DHA to their list of approved cosmetic ingredients. Today,
DHA is the main active ingredient in all sunless tanning skincare preparations.
It’s no secret that a tan makes us appear slimmer, younger, and sexier. However,
it’s important to keep in mind that almost 90% of the visible changes attributed to
aging are caused by the sun. Sunless tanning is not only the smart alternative
because it provides all the same benefits without the exposure to ultraviolet rays;
but in addition, it can minimize the appearance of skin imperfections and eliminate
the concern of tan lines. ( please keep in mind tan lines or previouly sunbuned skin that has peeled cannot be totally corrected) .
Custom airbrush tanning and body contouring also
creates the opportunity to obtain any shade of tan one might desire- from a
subtle glow to a deep, tropical bronze, Pure DHA Airbrush Tanning is here!
With the sun’s ultraviolet rays being the main culprit of skin cancer, it’s no surprise
that DHA-based sunless tanning has been recommended by the Skin Cancer
Foundation, American Academy of Dermatology Association, and the American
Medical Association. Ultraviolet radiation damages DNA, the genetic material that
makes up genes. In turn, our genes control the growth and overall health of skin
cells. So although soaking up the sun may seem like a pleasant pastime, it is not
safe for long enough periods for people to develop the color they desire. Sunless
tanning allows individuals to obtain a sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects
of UV-rays.
