Spray tans are one of the most popular beauty treatments for women who want a tanned look or radiant, golden skin. In general, tanning is a natural process that occurs instinctively when our skin is exposed to sunlight. But this natural process has proven to be harmful in recent years due to increased exposure to harmful UV rays. For this reason, more and more people are opting for sunless tanning products that will give you the same result without being exposed to the sun. In fact, numerous sunless tanning products are available on the market, but spray tanners have gained popularity due to their safe use. In general, spray tanning is performed by a professional who has received formal training to perform the procedure.

In this method, the beauty therapist will spray a thin layer of tanning solution on your body using a small piece of equipment called an HVLP turbo unit. After spraying, you need to wait a few minutes for the solution to dry. The DHA or dihydroxyacetone that is present in the solution will then interact with the dead cells present in the stratum corneum of the epidermal layer. Due to this reaction between DHA and dead cells, the color of the skin changes giving a tanned appearance. This effect is usually visible in 45-60 minutes and lasts up to 5-7 days. Since the skin regenerates once every 35-45 days, it is recommended to reapply the tanning solution at regular intervals.

However, some precautions should be followed to maintain the tanned appearance, such as applying sunscreen before going outside. Also, one should not bathe, shower or swim within 6 hours after application. With the increasing demand for spray tanning, more and more people prefer to take the course and be a certified therapist. In fact, this will help them start the spray tan business and earn money for their expenses. Since it doesn’t require a lot of investment or higher educational qualification, self-employment seekers or people seeking home business opportunities can give this a try. These courses can be taken in schools, classrooms, or even at home. However, make sure that the institution from which you are taking the course is genuine and well known. In general, the course lasts a few hours at most and is very rewarding.
