What is Spray Tan and How is it Beneficial for Your Skin?
We understand it that summery glow makes us feel cheerful, fit, and healthy. Of course, we all know that lying in the sun or in a tanning bed is not healthy for the skin. So, spray tans are a blessing, right? And that's true: spray tans are certainly the safer option when it comes to tanning. However, this does not mean that spray tanning is completely risk-free. Risks of inhalation, skin allergies, and an absence of medical research all indicate that you should continue with caution. How do spray tans work? Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA for short, is the active ingredient in natural looking spray tan and other sunless tanning products. It is basically a sugar compound. A spray tan is temporary. The reason behind this is that DHA only affects the topmost skin layer. Your skin will shed and then, exfoliate continuously, replacing the outer cells weekly which is quite normal. Your tan will fade as those cells fall off. This is why your spray tan just lasts 5-10 days. W
