Chief Details Concerning What Mist Spray Tan Does

By Haywood Hunter


Caucasians have a hallmark pale skin. Some people point out that the main reason for this is because they live in areas where the sunlight is weak. Evolution hence did not see the need to bless them with melanin, the darkening agent found in other races, especially Africans. Of course why they do is open to debate, and so most opt to use artificial color such as a mist spray tan to darken up their skin just a little bit.

Also known as indoor tanning, the use of mist spray tan to darken ones looks has the world completely taken by storm. It is so popular that it is raking in excess of millions of dollars per year in the US alone. The young and the old alike are thronging into salons daily just to get this miraculous instant color from the mist spray tan.

Although mist spray tan can be used in the comfort and privacy of ones home, professional results are best achieved in a salon by experienced technicians. They ensure that the mist spray tan is evenly applied to avoid splotches or patches. Even the hard to reach areas such as the back do get a good work-over. Bikini areas are also sprayed to avoid leaving behind a pale bikini line.

The use of a mist spray tan has gained such massive popularity since it was introduced in the eighties. This has led to the mushrooming of hundreds of salons in Britain and the United States of America to cater for the growing numbers of clientele seeking quick coloring using mist spray tan products. It has easily rise to become a multi-million dollar industry.

The main ingredient used in the mist spray tan is called dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. It is a chemical that physically dyes the skin brown when dead skin cells react with it. This consequently gives one a beautiful brown skin which looks similar to a natural tan. The product has been meticulously tested to ensure that the color output looks completely real.

Washing will not remove the mist spray tan as long as it is delayed by about four hours. The new look lasts for about 5 days because but once the top skin sheds, the color also fades and one will hence need a new application. Exfoliating the skin before applying the mist spray tan and then keeping well moisturized afterwards can help it stay even longer, say up to 10 days.

Although tests have not been carried out on humans, lab investigations show a clear need for further research. These scientists state that the once in a month user of a mist spray tan may not be at risk, but the more frequent users and the salon staff who spray these colors on clients could be at grave risk. The easiest way to cut down on this risk is to wear goggles and masks during the application process.

The effect produced by the usage of a mist spray tan is way much more superior compared to other sunless browning techniques. This is because one will always turn brown in various shades depending on the mist, and not orange. Also because application is by way of spraying and not rubbing, a most favorable even-toned color is arrived at.
