Airbrushed Tanning - Things To Remember Before Making That Decision

"Today, getting that celebrity tan is very easy and you don't have to spend hours under the sun which we all know can be very dangerous because of UV rays. You can get this with a system known as airbrush tanning which is available in many dermatologist or salons these days.

Here are points that you need to consider when you decide to get that instant glow on your skin:

1. Exfoliate - This should be done a day before you are scheduled for your airbrush tanning. You can do this at home by using exfoliating body wash or with an over-the-counter exfoliating bath soap. Another old but effective method of exfoliating is using loofah for scrubbing your body and peeling off dead skin. And do not forget to moisturize right after to avoid irritation, rashes, and dryness.

2. When you get that airbrush tan, make sure that you don't use those products that you routinely use daily. These products may affect the tanning products making it difficult for it to penetrate your skin. When this happens, results may not be what you have expected.

3. Keep Dry - When you just had your airbrushed tan, avoid going to the beach or pool or taking a long shower at least until after 24 hours. However, if you have to go swimming, apply a generous amount of body lotion or body oil to help protect the color from the chlorinated water.

When you opt for this type of tanning instead of spending hours under the sun, you don't put your health in danger or your skin in danger because you don't expose yourself directly under the sun. You can get that golden glow on your skin without the health hazards. But make sure that the process is done properly which means that precautions should be taken before and after the procedure so that you can get the best results.

Remember that this tan isn't a UV protection. So make sure that you apply sun block everyday and re apply when needed.
