Important Facts Prior To Getting That Airbrushed Tan

"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.

If you're convinced you're up for this instant glow on your skin, remember these:

1. The exfoliation process must be done a day prior to your tanning schedule. 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. Bare - On the day of getting that airbrush tan, skip your usual skin care regimen. Do not use moisturizer, perfume, body oil, or any other beauty chemical as any of these can prevent the tanning products from penetrating your skin and creating the best results.

3. When you just had your airbrushed tan, don't go to the beach or pool and don't take a long shower. You have to let the product penetrate for 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.
