How spray tans work 

Letting the sun determine the shade of your skin can be a damaging process of trial and error. Spray tans, however, use  that gives you the skin tone you want.

This process involves a chemical known as , a colorless sugar compound that chemically reacts with your skin to give it a darker color. DHA interacts with your skin in a way to keep it from being rubbed or washed off.

Advantages of a spray tan over sunbathing

We need the sun for many things, including a natural way to absorb vitamin D. But so much time in the sun that your skin turns darker is a type of damage. So know that when you bask in the sun to tan, .

A healthy tan doesn’t exist. The question is whether you’ve damaged your skin to the point of risking cancers like squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, or melanoma. Tanning beds  by exposing you to higher concentrations of ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Spray tans avoid the UV damage caused by overexposure to sunlight, and they allow you to get a darker tone at any time of the year without the risk of natural tanning.

At 麻豆高清, we offer this tanning solution using healthy, high-quality ingredients to give your skin the tone you want.

The spray tanning process

, do the following:

• Exfoliate your skin at least three days before (avoid chemicals and oil-based products)
• Shower at least eight hours before the treatment
• Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment
• Remove any makeup or deodorant

Once you’re ready, we spray a fine mist of the solution over the desired areas. When we’re finished, be wary of visible panty lines within the first few days (paper panties are sometimes offered to avoid this).

After your treatment, wear loose-fitting clothing and shoes, wait at least six hours before showering, and use lukewarm water when you do. Avoid soaps or scrubs when you first shower.

Avoid oil-based skin products until the tan has faded, and lightly exfoliate your skin every few days to keep your skin fresh.
