I am an airbrush artist in New Jersey for Beach Bum tanning, a chain on the East Coast. Airbrushing is a form of tanning that is used instead of using tanning beds that are seen as unhealthy. We use solution, provided by our company where we evaluate your skin tone when you come in, and you tell us the look you are looking for and we make that happen. We use all organic/healthy solution which is good for you skin and comes out of clothes. I begin with your back, turning your body as you go getting into places a spray machine (that usually comes out orange) can't get to. This also gives you a choice in color instead of just one that would spray out at you. It never globs or gets smudged either because we are using air as we go along. Also unlike the machine, airbrushing is more browning unlike the machines or self tanners. I usually reccomend this for people who have important events, want a healthy solution or have such fair skin that they don't want to risk orange color from self-tanning or the machine. It usually can last two weeks if taken care of by moisterizing and washing with lotion/soap that has no sulfates - so always check your ingrediants.
I got one 3 days ago and it has already started to fade, it was a waste of 16 dollars! i am already back to my pale self. some spots faded more than others, so now i have super pale spots and some tanner spots.. My spray tan was done by a machine; and i was allergic to the stuff it sprayed on me that made me red and itchy. I have dry skin though that could have been a factor. I have never been spray tanned by a person though, but it wouldn't hurt to try once!
DHA, which is the tanning agent, reacts with the amino acids on the top layer of skin which then develops into a tan over the course of approximately 12 hours. Most spray solutions contain a bronzer which gives you an immediate tan.
Well fisrt you go to the beach and lay down.
You may think its easier to go to a tanning salon but then that shows that you're a very fat and lazy

yes. because the UV is more direct in tanning beds.
No
At my work all the girls who work at the tanning salon get free tanning. I'm sure it depends from salon to salon. The reason we get free tanning is so we can look tan, if a customer comes in to tan, and they see someone pale behind the desk, they will think the tanning beds at that salon don't work. Basically giving us free tanning makes us a walking billboard, someone will ask me where I tan and I will say my work name, and then they will go there because I look so tan. Simple

Yes just make sure it is comfortable. Here is a guide to selecting one http://www.tanningbedsafetytips.com/tanning-bed-pillow.html
Yes, you can usually find a variant of tanning beds in a tanning salon.
Nope! Tanning lotions work by being activated by UV light, so whether your indoor tanning or outdoor tanning, you can still use a tanning lotion. Using a lotion specifically for tanning will dramatically help boost your color to get darker faster, plus it has a lot of vitamins and minerals to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
You won't get a miscarriage if you tan. I currently work at a tanning salon and we must know if you are pregnant so that we can inform you to stay hydrated. Tanning beds dehydrate you and so does being pregnant, so if you do go tanning while pregnant be sure to stay hydrated!
YES! Working out is going to get your bloodflow moving which is going to help you tan faster! I don't know the science behind it, but it is true. I work in a tanning salon and we always recommend our tanners work out then tan, rather than tan then work out.
The working of designer skin tanning lotion can be very complicated at the chemical level. These designer skin tanning lotions usually increase the pace of micro-circulation and oxygenation to produce deep and dark tanning results.
No, these are a safer alternative to tanning beds. Lotiens don't cause skin cancer or damage. They work just as well as tanning, you just need to reapply every few days.
