Magic Tan UV-free spray tanning

In the last few years solariums have been losing favour as they have been found to be as damaging to your skin as sunbaking.

Sun beds contain a mix of UVA and UVB radiation. Long term exposure to this radiation can result in irreversible damage such as premature ageing, skin cancer, sun warts andcataracts (damage to the cornea of the eye). It is estimated in recent studies that 20 minutes in a sun bed is equivalentto spending 4 hours in the sun.

SOLARIUMS ARE OUT AND FAKE TANNING IS IN.

There is now a multitude of products (gels, lotions, sprays, creams) on the market that are a safe and effective alternative to direct sun exposure. The majority of self tanning products contain a chemical that is refined
from sugar cane called dihydroxyacetone or DHA. The concentration of DHA is what controls the depth or darkness of your fake tan.

DHA works by causing a chemical reaction within the skins surface which is called oxidation and this is what produces the tan colour, just like when you take a bite out of an apple and leave it out on the bench when you comeback the flesh of the apple will be brown. This is the same reaction.

The process of your fake tan can take up to 6 hours to develop but some products contain bronze pigments and will give your skin an immediate tan colour. Since the outer layer of skin is constantly being replaced the results
are temporary but, if looked after well your fake tan can last a week. The best way to get the maximum life from your fake tan is moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. The moisturiser will slow down the exfoliation of the skin and hold the tan together for longer.
