All About Sunless Tanning Booth And Its Advantages

By Veronica Cappelletti


Sunbathing allows you to enjoy a sun-kissed radiant skin. But many are staying away from doing it because they're afraid of developing skin cancer and premature aging signs caused by the sun's UV rays. Good thing that there are numerous options to get a tan nowadays, and a popular one is using a sunless tanning booth.

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.

The great thing about this method is atomizers are used to spray the chemical all over your body. Through fine mists, better coverage is enjoyed that's free of streaks. This results in a tanned skin that looks natural and streak-free. Further, you don't have to worry about having your clothes stained 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.

A change in the skin color may not be noticed until after about an hour has passed. It's after 24 hours that you will enjoy the deepest brown color possible. This can last anywhere from 5 to 10 days. Repeatedly undergoing the procedure allows your skin to get more used to the chemical, causing it to sustain the brown color longer.

There are also many products that contain DHA which may be applied at home, such as those in the form of lotions, creams and sprays. However, it's somewhat difficult to get an even tan from using these products. Going to a sunless tanning booth allows you to enjoy a sun-kissed glow that you can show off.
