Airbrush tanning is an alternative to natural tanning or a tanning bed. An application, which is compressed into a fine mist, produces effects in the skin which imitate a traditional tan. According to the American Academy of Dermatology the most active ingredient in spray tanning products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). It is not a dye, stain, or paint but a reaction between the top layers of your skin and the DHA. It does not change the skin pigmentation or need UV exposure to initiate the reaction. The reaction is non-toxic and temporary. The effects will fade gradually over a 3 to 10 day period.
DHA has been approved by the FDA. Using DHA is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Organization, American Academy of Dermatology, The American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association.

Unlike spray tanning booths, an airbrush tan is applied by a technician using a hand sprayer. This method allows for a more accurate and detailed application. This method can also be used to contour the figure to give the impression of greater muscle definition. Always ask about the experience and training of the technician before hand.
