Tanning Solution
Tanning Solution This sunless tan spray solution contains white tea extract for its antioxidant
benefits.. DHA(dihydroxyacetone) is a self-tanning agent that does
not form protective melanin as when tanning in the sun, but it creates
the appearance by way of the development of a brown skin coloring as the dha
browns the outer skin layer. Do wear sunscreen after you achieve your tanned
look. Formulated specially for us and made in the US. 1/2 gallon (64oz)
Key points to know
-
The action of DHA is limited to the upper layers of the skin,
just like regular sun tanning would brown the skin above the base membrane
only and not below. With the sun exposure melanocytes realease brown pigments
above the base membrane. DHA browns above the base membrane also by reacting
with the proteins in the outer skin epidermal layer.
-
DHA reacts with the amino acids and amino groups of the skin keratin
forming brown colored compounds.The process takes place in the outer layers of
the epidermis.
-
In more simple terms the base membrane normally contains the
melanocytes that release pigment when exposed to the sun or stimulated by heat
producing a regular tan.
With airbrushing solution the skin produces a
Tanned look also above the base membrane but not by the action of melanocytes
but through the browning of the epidermal proteins. For this reason an
airbrush Tan will last about as long as a regular suntan. Both Tan the skin
above the base membrane. Moisturizing the skin will make the Tan last longer.
Skin care benefit:
-
This solution also contains Erythrulose which when incorporated
with DHA prolongs and produces a more natural looking tan . This ingredient is
more expensive so not all tanning solutions include it. We have our solution
made in America by a manufacturer who is top of the line and a leader in
research. It has also added White tea extract for the added antioxidant
benefit.
-
According to the new Consumers Report February -05- issue, the panel
recommended airbrush tanning has a great alternative to the tanning beds. You
get a natural looking tan look without the damaging effects of UV-exposure.
