About Airbrush Tanning
Airbrush tans provide a streak-free, natural-looking golden tan that looks like a real tan and fades like a real tan without exposing yourself to hours of damaging UV rays which can cause burning, premature aging and even skin cancer. At Lash by Lash Studio we use AirTan™ products, formulated with a tanning combination of Dihyroxyacetone (DHA) and Erythrulose.
Erythrulose naturally occurs in red raspberries. It reacts with the amino acids in the keratin protein on the outer or dead surface layer of the skin, (the stratum corneum layer of the epidermis). This non-toxic reaction produces a temporary bronze browning effect. This is not a stain or dye, but rather a chemical reaction that produces the color change.
The brown clor is comparable to the appearance of a UV based suntan. Because the skin continually exfoliates itself, losing thousands of dead surface skin cells each day, the tan hue is temporary. The tan appearance typically lasts up to 10 days, depending on the condition of your skin.
Erythrulose and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) are very similar in composition, and both react much the same way on the skin surface. Erythrulose produces a slower developing tan, taking 24 to 48 hours to fully develop. The final tone of erythrulose is slightly redder than the DHA based tan. We feel that when combined with DHA, the resulting sunless tan lasts longer, fades more smoothly, and produces a more cosmetically pleasing color tone.
For the best results, we recommend exfoliating your skin with a scrub brush or loofah before your tanning appointment. This evens your skin tone and removes dead skin cells.
