AIRBRUSHING How Airbrush Tanning Works?
With airbrush tanning, the tan is applied using a tanning system with solution containing DHA (dihydroxyacetone). Once the solution hits your skin, the DHA begins interacting with the amino acids and proteins that are located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis (top layer of skin). During this process, a color change begins taking place and a suntanned appearance is produced. This tan will last approximately 5-10 days depending on several factors, including: solution, technique, skin type, and maintenance. Our bodies lose millions of dead skin cells daily. In fact, every 35-45 days, you have an entirely new epidermis. Hence, sunless tans gradually fade as the dead skin cells are sloughed off. Therefore it is necessary to reapply your sunless tan every 5-10 days.
