Airbrush tanning questions are increasingly asked as this type of tanning is gaining popularity and more and more people are exploring this tanning method to have that sun kissed look all year round.

The most frequently asked airbrush tanning question is What is airbrush tanning? Airbrush tanning is a process during which an airbrush compressor and gun are used to spray an even coat of DHA (dihydroxyaceteone) solution all over the body. The DHA reacts with the amino acids present in the top layers of the skin and produces a brown color effect on the skin, similar to a suntan.

What preparations have to be made before airbrush tanning? The answer to this will come as big relief to those who are considering airbrush tanning. You don't have to make elaborate preparations for airbrush tanning, all you need to do is take a shower and exfoliate your skin, shaving is also recommended for better results. The idea is to keep the skin clean and dry with no traces of perfume, deodorant, or makeup residue. This is what you would do when preparing for any type of tanning.

The next airbrush tanning question you are faced with is what to wear when airbrush tanning? The ideal clothing would be a tighter fitting swimsuit, or disposables during the airbrush tan, preferable with no strings dangling anywhere. After the tan, it is best to wear dark colored, and loose fitting clothing to reduce sweating and crease marks during the development process. Men may wear cotton thongs or disposables.

Another airbrush tanning question that we receive all of the time is, How do I maintain my airbrush tan? The answer is that it takes roughly six to eight hours for the tan to fully develop. It is recommended that you avoid a shower or strenuous activities during that time. When showering, you should use mild shower gel and moisturize your body after the shower. Bar soaps are best avoided. At night, you should apply a tan extending DHA based product like Ultimate Tan Extender which is available by visiting:
