All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Its Benefits

By Haywood Hunter


Staying under the sun enables you to attain a glowing tan. However, it's also possible to end up with premature aging signs and skin cancer courtesy of the sun's harmful UV rays. Fortunately, there are numerous options available these days when you want to get tanned, and a sunless tanning booth is a popular choice of many.

It's just a small room where the individual steps in and is sprayed with dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical comes from plant sources so it's safe for use on humans, and proof to that is the FDA's approval. DHA turns the topmost layer of the skin, which is mostly dead cells, into brown.

What's so great about this approach is the chemical is sprayed with the use of atomizers, so fine mists are produced. This provides excellent coverage, minimizing streaks so the individual can enjoy an even and natural-looking tan. What's more, there's no nasty staining on clothing or hair to worry about afterwards.

A cap has to be worn when inside the enclosure. You take a deep breath, close your eyes and press on a button. Such will activate the atomizers, spraying fine mist all over your body. You have to allow the chemical to stay on your skin for a few seconds before the excess is toweled off.

It's only about after an hour that a change in skin color is noticeable. The deepest brown color may be noted after 24 hours have passed. The tan may last for about 5 to 10 days. It's possible to enjoy the color longer than that by frequently undergoing the procedure. That's because your skin gets used to DHA much better after some time.

There are at-home products which may be purchased that also take advantage of DHA. Usually, they come in the form of creams, lotions, gels and sprays. However, getting an even tan using them can be quite tricky. Going to a salon offering a sunless tanning booth is still your best bet to get a radiant tanned skin you can show off.
