What About Sunless Tanning Booths?

Sunless tanning booths are becoming more popular.

With an air compressor and an airbrush delivery
system in one of these booths, skin receives a “tan.”

What happens is that pistons in the compressor
quickly press or force air out via a nozzle in an
airbrush or spray head.

This air mixes with a tanning solution containing
DHA that’s inside compartments within the airbrush,
and sprays this in a fine mist over the outer skin layer.

Some tanning booths have up to 36 of these airbrushes
connected to the compressor and they are all either in
fixed positions or moving. Thus tanning clients then
either move under fixed sprayers so that skin is covered
all over.

Or else the tanner parts move to spray the different body
parts (these types pose more mechanical maintenance
issues though.)

Many report a more professional-looking, smooth and
even tanning that even covers hard-to-reach areas like
cheeks and shoulders.

Note that the tanning solution used in the
machine most probably has no sun protection
component; so if you are heading outdoors,
protect your skin appropriately.
