Once upon a time the only way to tan was to bask under the sun or an indoor tanning bed. For various reasons, including those relating to health concerns, many have decided to avoid exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays which are emitted by both the sun and tanning beds. Modern science has devised a solution for this dilemma. A wide variety of airbrush tanning supplies are now available to facilitate that perfect tan without the UV rays.

A tanning airbrush accomplishes its mission by spraying a fine mist of a solution most often containing the active ingredient dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is a safe substance assuming it is not ingested or inhaled. Two main methods of application are prevalent today. The first of these are spray tanning booths in which the customer stands and receives an automatic spray. The second are hand held tanning airbrushes. These airbrushes allow for more precise application preventing spray from entering the mouth or nose.

In addition to DHA, many airbrushes use formulations of spray including vitamins and other natural ingredients such as extracts of coconut and cantaloupe. These holistic additions serve to therapeutically address the drying effects of everyday life upon the skin. As opposed to the traditional tanning bed which can serve to increase skin dryness, use of an airbrush can produce the opposite results leaving the customer with silky smooth skin.

One clear advantage of spray tanning is the absence of ultraviolet (UV) rays. Health professionals advise against overexposure to the sun or to artificially produced UV rays. In the Victorian Age this would not present much of a problem, however in today's world lack of any skin tone or color is often viewed as a sign of sickliness and is not an attractive option for many. Spray tanning allows for the best of both worlds. You can have a deep tan without incurring any associated health risks.
